Remember: always diffuse in open spaces-never enclose your pet with a diffuser. Always give him or her the option to leave the room. Dogs and cats noses are much more sensitive to odors-use much less than you would for yourself. Use high quality oils.

Using Essential Oils Around Dogs — Why Quality Matters

Dogs experience scent very differently than we do. Their sense of smell is far more sensitive, which means what we diffuse — and how it’s made — matters.

When diffusing around pets, it’s important to choose oils that are:
• Pure (no fillers or synthetic fragrance)
• Properly sourced
• Consistently tested
• Used in very small amounts

Lower drops + higher quality oils help keep diffusion gentle and pet-friendly.

There are multiple good oil companies available. I personally share what I know and trust based on my own experience, which is why you’ll see me reference the oils I use at home.

This graphic isn’t about fixing or treating anything — it’s about supporting the environment so our dogs can feel calm, safe, and comfortable.
As always:
- Diffuse in open spaces
- Give pets the choice to leave the room
- Less is more

Diffusers are one way to use essential oils without dilution. Never use essential oils topically without proper dilution.

Essential oils don’t fix everything…
but they definitely help soften what came out of my mouth after my diffuser quit working. 😅

Diffuser Died… Forgive Me Blend
(humor + comfort)

3 drops Wild Orange
2 drops Lavender
1 drop Cedarwood

Why it works:
Lightens the mood, reduces tension, and helps everyone laugh it off instead of rehashing it.

Grilled Leg of Lamb with Lavender-Rosemary Rub
Author: Joanne Weir

Lamb, garlic, lavender, and rosemary all grow together in Provence in the sunny south of France. Make a simple rub of fresh or dry lavender flowers, fresh rosemary, and mint. Slather it all over lamb that you've studded with garlic, and you have the taste of Provence right there on your plate. All you need is a Provençal red wine and a few vegetables and you will have a meal that will please any guest. Note that the lamb must marinate for at least two hours before using.

Serves 6 to 8
INGREDIENTS

5- to 6-pound leg of lamb, b***d, excess fat removed, and butterflied�3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced�2 tablespoons dry or fresh lavender flowers, plus sprigs, for garnish�3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary�2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint�3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil�Salt and freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Make 20 small incisions in the lamb in various places. Tuck a slice of garlic into each incision.

In a bowl, combine the lavender flowers, rosemary, mint, and olive oil. Rub the mixture over the lamb and let sit at room temperature for 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat a charcoal grill or broiler.

Place the lamb 4 inches from the coals on the grill or under the broiler. Cook until 1 side is golden, about 15 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper. Turn the lamb and continue to cook until medium-rare, 130° to 135°F when tested with an instant-read thermometer, about 15 minutes. Test by cutting into the thickest part. If it is slightly pink inside, remove from the grill.

Cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
Slice the lamb into thin slices across the grain and place on a platter. Garnish with the lavender sprigs before serving.

Note from Lavender Lady: If you don’t care for the idea of using lamb (I don’t) consider using pork.

A couple of cautionary notes here: do not use if you are pregnant or nursing. You may also want to use a different carrier oil as coconut oil can dry your skin with long term use. - LL

If you plan to sell this product, it’s best to check into labeling laws for guidelines.

While recipes such as this look and smell lovely, you should always check a reputable dilution chart for safe mixing. This recipe calls for 40 drops of essential oils and yet the carrier oil is only one ounce (2 tablespoons). The proper amount of essential oils for this recipe should be no more than 12 drops total.
