Natural Dog Care
Your pet deserves the best- and that is why I wanted to tell you about Young Living's Animal scents line!
Made with 100% pure essential oils (this is the KEY component- there are no FDA regulations when it comes to essential oils, so you must trust the company that they are sourced from)- these products have no harmful ingredients that will harm your new furry companion.
I know we have all heard that essential oils are not safe for pets, so I wanted to write this blog post so you will know exactly how to use this plant magic around your furry family members and bust that myth!
Here is the first important advice- animals cannot tell us if something is working or not, so it is our duty to exercise due caution and approach using oils on animals safely and responsibly. Also- if your pet is pregnant, nursing, or has a medical condition, consult a veterinarian prior to use.
So- how do we do exercise caution and approach using oils on animals safely and responsibly?
Here are some basic guidelines:
Do not use on or around dogs (or cats) under 8 weeks old
Dogs are more sensitive to smell than humans, make sure to dilute heavily to begin
Every pet is different, make sure observe your pet when using essential oils around him/her
Do not get in their eyes
If diffusing, never shut an animal in the room where they cannot leave if they want- usually if your pet does not like the smell, they will want to go to a different area
With all animals, avoid using high-phenol oils- such as Oregano, Wintergreen, Clove, Mountain Savory, and Thyme. This is true with cats especially.
It is also important to remember, essential oils are a natural smell that have properties that can help your animal- so if all of this seems daunting, think of all the things you use around your animal already- do you burn candles? Use cleaner? Lysol? Febreeze? Perfume? Dog shampoo with a scent? The answer is probably yes to some of those - so don't be alarmed! Your animal is use to smells and essential oils are no different- Young Living cares about your pets and their health- and made sure to give instructions with their products- that is the only difference. :)
Here are the products in the Animal scents line! The oils in this collection are pre-diluted and formulated without synthetic perfumes, dyes, and artificial colors and fragrances which sets them apart from other things on the market. You want to make sure you are using things on your dog that is good for your dog!
