Essential Oils and Your Dog By Lauren Kolacki

BEST PET photo contest

DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE MOST ADORABLE PET?

Essential oils that are known to be safe for use around dogs. Use the web to search for more specific information such as uses and safety. It is important to know that dogs are more sensitive to essential oils than humans are. Essential oils should always be used diluted, even when just inhaling. Only use essential oils with your dog when needed to address a concern – not to “prevent” a health issue. Never add essential oils to your dog's food or drinking water and avoid using essential oils with puppies under 10 weeks of age. Essential oils have been in the news recently, largely due to reports that incidences of poisonings you think your pet may have consumed or had contact with essential oils, call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center hotline at 888-426- 4435 and contact your veterinarian.
