There are some general tips and suggestions you’ll want to keep in mind as you share essential oils with your furry friends.
🐶 Do not use essential oils on and around dogs under 8 weeks old because they are developing at fast rates; it is easy to mess up the proper dilution for each breed.
🐶 Animals are generally more sensitive to essential oils than humans are. It’s best to heavily dilute essential oils and use them in moderation.
🐶 Every animal is different, so carefully observe how your dog responds to essential oils. Use common sense and good judgment as you try different methods.
🐶 Be especially careful to not get essential oils in an dog's eyes.
🐱 If diffusing and you have cats always allow them access to areas where they can avoid the diffused oil.
🐶 With all animals, avoid using high-phenol oils—such as Oregano, Wintergreen, Clove, Mountain Savory, and Thyme. This is especially important with cats.
🐱 Use special caution with cats and essential oils. Avoid applying citrus oils topically, diffusing the scent around cats, and having your cat ingest them.
