Safety Tips In Using Essential Oils For Pets


If you are planning to use essential oils, remember that you cannot use these on all of your pets. In particular, essential oils are toxic for reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, birds, and fishes. You can use essential oils on pet dogs and cats but the vet should guide you on whether you can apply it on your pet internally or topically. Consult a vet who is knowledgeable about essential oil chemistry.


When there are cats and dogs at home, use essential oil diffusers only if there is proper ventilation. Your pets should be able to get out of the room if they don’t like the smell.


It is also not advisable to use essential oils when your pet is sick, young, old, nursing, or pregnant. Also, don't use it on your pet's favored resting spot, and when there is a pet inside a cage.


Essential oils can be strong when you use them in their pure form. You should dilute it first, but don't use it all the time. When you do, use it for 10 minutes two times during the day only.
