I know this isn't what you want to hear...but there are WAY. too. many. vet emergencies around the holidays.

Most animals cannot handle the extra fat, salt, and sugar we add to our special feasts. As you plan your Thanksgiving dinner, I hope you will also make plans to keep your dog's holiday treats as safe as possible!

Share This:
โœ“ Turkey - Give treat sized bites, no fat, skin, or bones.
โœ“ Carrots or Celery - Plain, cooked or uncooked, no butter or salt.
โœ“ Pumpkin - Share roasted or canned 100% pumpkin. NO pie-filling!
โœ“ Plain Mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, or yams - Share BEFORE you add any butter, cream, milk, sugar, or salt.

NOT That:
โœ— Meat with cooked bones or skin still on.
โœ— Gravy
โœ— Raw Potatoes
โœ— Onion
โœ— Pie Filling
โœ— Food with added salt, butter, milk, or sugar

I love giving my dogs real food toppers. It just takes a little extra planning to set aside some doggie menu items before adding the butter and salt.

Have a happy and SAFE Thanksgiving!

Essential Oil Spotlight on: BALSAM FIR

Balsam Fir is a refreshing, clean and light smelling essential oil that makes you think of Winter holiday festivities and sitting in front of a cozy fire looking at your beautifully lit tree. A bit more inviting than its fir cousins, the unique chemistry of Balsam Fir makes it wonderful for soothing both physically and emotionally.

It is incredibly beneficial to the skin and supportive of the respiratory tract as well as the endocrine system, particularly the thyroid. It also supports bones, joints and muscles, has antioxidant properties, and aids in concentration and combating negative emotions for an uplifting and stabilizing feeling.

Historically, Native Americans used balsam fir for many ritual and wellness purposes. It transforms any environment into a clean, welcoming sanctuary.

Balsam Fir oil can create a tranquil, positive space and enhance a soothing massage. It can be used aromatically and topically. Here is how to use it:

๐Ÿ’งMassage into skin for soothing comfort.
๐Ÿ’งInhale deeply and experience the refreshing aroma.
๐Ÿ’งCreates a tranquil, positive space
๐Ÿ’งDiffuse for a relaxing aroma

๐Ÿพ Diffuse 2-4 drops in a water based diffuser with the room door open or in an open space for small animals, dogs and cats. Dilute to 1-2% for topical use to soothe muscles & joints. You can also add a few drops into your litter box deodorizer (per 1 cup baking soda, and only sprinkle a little bit on your cats litterboxes.)
๐ŸŽApply 4-6 drops topically for horses or cattle or make your own DIY Liniment!
๐ŸApply 2-3 drops topically for goats or other small ruminants

This oil is safe to diffuse around all species using a water based diffuser. Enjoy this limited time oil for free by adding it to your 125 PV loyalty order by the 15th!

Have you heard about Hinoki Essential Oil?

Derived from the wood of the Japanese hinoki tree, Hinoki essential oil offers a myriad of benefits and uses. When diffused, Hinokiโ€™s fresh, woody, and balsamic aroma provides a relaxing environment.

Hinoki also soothes the skin, supports hair regrowth, deters insects, and is great for the respiratory tract!

From an emotional standpoint, Hinoki helps gives a sense of calm and order - similar to walking in a Japanese garden. For animals, you would use this oil with animals that are fearful, timid, stressed, tense, or unstable in their surroundings. It encourages peace, relaxation, and balance.

Did you know?

Hinoki wood is so valued in Japan that, by law, the essential oil can only be extracted from trees that have fallen. Dwarf hinoki trees are often used by bonsai artists. doTERRA utilizes byproducts from the timber industry and culled trees, ensuring that no part of these prized trees goes to waste.

โ“How to use Hinoki Essential Oil with animals:

๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ„ For horses, goats and cattle, apply topically directly to the area of interest. Dilute if sensitive. You can also apply along the spine (2-6 drops) or on the skin above the hooves. It can be used in a hoof oil or body spray as well. As an insect repellent, mix 20-40 drops of Hinoki oil with 16 oz. of distilled water (add a drop or two of soap to disperse or be sure to shake well before each use) and spray animal, being careful to avoid the eye area.

๐Ÿฆฎ For dogs, diffuse Hinoki for aromatic use and respiratory support. Apply topically at a dilution rate of 1 drop Hinoki to 30 drops of carrier oil, then apply 1 drop of the this diluted mixture to the area of interest or by petting along the spine. You can also make an insect repellent spray by mixing 20 drops of Hinoki oil with 16 oz. distilled water (add a dispersant if desired), shake before use, and spray animal, being careful to avoid eyes and nose.

๐Ÿˆ For cats, diffusion is preferred. Apply topically at a dilution rate of 1 drop Hinoki per 80-100 drops of carrier oil, then apply 1 drop of this diluted mixture to the area of interest or pet along spine. Another topical or aromatic option is to mix 3-4 drops in 1 cup of baking soda (mix well, let sit overnight) and sprinkle on your kitty litter.

๐Ÿข๐Ÿ‡ For reptiles and small mammals, diffusion is preferred. Topically, use 1 drop Hinoki,1 tsp carrier oil, and 4 oz water to make a misting spray. Shake well before each use.

Hinoki is free with a 125 LRP order before September 15th!

Over 85 million US families have a pet in their home! After consulting with a veterinarian, you can offer support to your dog in non-emergency situations with essential oils. Check out the blog at https://loom.ly/o-qjcMw

It really works

It really works

๐Ÿฆจ When your dog gets sprayed by a skunk, keep him out of the house!

Look for an oily yellow streak somewhere on your dog. Dogs are curious so they'll usually get sprayed in the face and neck area when the skunk decides your dog is a little too close for comfort. Towel off the oil as much as you can.

Then make up this effective recipe with 3 household ingredients:

De-skunking Recipe:
1 qt hydrogen peroxide (3%)
ยผ cup baking soda
1 tsp liquid dish soap

Mix together and apply quickly to your dog's fur while it's still bubbling. Use a cloth around the face to avoid getting it into your dog's eyes. Work it into a thick lather and leave it on for about 5 minutes, then rinse your dog thoroughly with fresh water.

One round of cleaning might not be enough so if the smell is still strong, give your dog another treatment.

If your dog has:
* Excessive drooling
* Pawing at the mouth or face
* Redness or swelling of the eyes, nose, or mouth
* Difficulty breathing
* Vomiting or diarrhea
โ€ฆ your dog is having a reaction and needs veterinary care.

BOOM! BOOM! POW!

This is a Calming Diffuser Recipe for Stressful situations, like during Fireworks ๐Ÿ’ฅ if your pet ๐Ÿพ is afraid. As Always, be sure to diffuse this in an open room with the doors open.

More tips to keep your pets calm during the fireworks:

โ€ข Exercise your animals more than usual during the day (early, before the fireworks) so they are nice and tired in the evening.

โ€ข Be sure your pet has an up to date microchip, and a collar with a tag with your name and number on it, in case they get loose.

โ€ข If you need to let your dogs outside during the festivities, use a leash and collar or harness, rather than just letting them out, even if you have a fenced in yard. The 5th of July is one of the busiest day for shelters due to pets that have run away during the fireworks due to fear.

โ€ข Diffuse oils!!! Serenity, Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Peace, Cedarwood, Petitgrain, Vetiver, Balance, Console, and many other calming oils are excellent.

โ€ข Apply oils to yourself and your pet! Dilute for topical use for pets. Keeping yourself calm will help keep your pets calm. If you get anxious because you're worried about your pet getting anxious, this will just make them MORE anxious! Copaiba or Adaptiv may be great choices for you both as well!

โ€ข Be sure your pet has a safe place to go - a kennel with a blanket over it, and comfy blankets inside makes a great "den" to get away.

โ€ข Give your pet a super fun toy and play with them during the fireworks to distract them! Make it an exciting game!

โ€ข Play some music ("Alexa, play Calming music for dogs") - Spotify has a Music for pet relaxation station, and so does YouTube! Or Turn on the TV (the nature channel is always good!)

โ€ข Build an obstacle course in your home or work on some obedience training during the fireworks.

โ€ข Give your dog a yummy bone to work on! Or you can make a "pup"sicle with frozen chicken or beef broth (with a few "surprise" treats in it for fun!

โ€ข More oils. ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’œ

POEM OF A DOG
I am the one who always waits for you.
Your car has a special sound that I
have imprinted on my senses, I can
recognize it among a thousand.
Your steps have a magic timbre.
Your voice is music to my ears.
If I see your joy, it makes me happy!
Your scent is the best,
Your presence is what moves my
senses.
Your awakening wakes me up.
I watch you sleep and for me you are my God, I am happy watching over your sleep.
Your gaze is a ray of light. Your hands on me have the lightness of peace and the sublime display of infinite love.
When you go out, I feel a huge emptiness in my heart.
I wait for you again and again.
I am the one who will wait for you all my life today, tomorrow and always:
I am your dog โค๏ธ

Puppy socialisation is NOT just about playing with other dogs.

In fact, too much uncontrolled exposure to other dogs can cause so many unintended consequences.

If you have a puppy, make sure you try to work on ALL aspects of socialisation, as listed in the bottom graphic.
