Essential Oils for PETS? Yes!!!
I personally use Young Living Essential Oils on my dog everyday! We have a 12 year old Shiz-tu that we have owned since he was 6 weeks old. So this little guy pretty much is the center of our hearts.
What do I use the oils for? Here, I'll tell ya...
I also have a small diluted mixture of Frankincense that I apply 1 diluted drop on his pad everyday. Just for love!
Here are some other documented uses for animals:
What do I use the oils for? Here, I'll tell ya...
- Purification: This blend is useful for external parasites such as fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. It's my only flea control medication I use and my little guy has been flea-free for 1 year!
- Thieves: Great for treating minor wounds, abrasions, and lacerations. Thieves is also utilized for addressing dental concerns. Safe for kittens and puppies. I spray my dogs gums with a Thieves mixture everyday to battle gingivitis, and bacteria in his mouth.
- PanAway: With osteoarthritis common in older pets, PanAway is valuable for relieving discomfort and relaxing the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. This oil blend can be used alone or in addition to other essential oils that aid in general discomfort. Using a moist towel over the area increases the effectiveness of the oils. I occasionally apply 1:5 drop on his pad for pain.
- Peace & Calming: The same way I use it for my kids, I use it for my dog. For stress, fear, anxiety, or other similar conditions are present, Peace & Calming can be used to calm a pet. This oil is great if the animal is injured to bring calming. This oil is also safe on cats who are resistant to other forms of treatment for urinary problems or excessive grooming resulting from stress.

Here are some other documented uses for animals:
- Melrose: When used in conjunction with R.C. and Raven, Melrose provides respiratory support. It can also be used on minor wounds, abrasions, and lacerations if Thieves cannot be tolerated.
- R.C.: Ideal for respiratory and urinary tract support, R.C is practical for cats that require bladder fortification, which does not respond to conventional therapy. (It can be paired with Raven for added support.)
- Raven: Also utilized for respiratory and urinary tract support, Raven is more powerful than R.C. and features essentials oils not found in the latter. Combined, the two oils are highly effective.
- Di-Gize: The gastrointestinal system responds well to this blend. Nutmeg and ginger can be added for additional support.
- M-Grain: Provides relief from head discomfort resulting from sinus pressure.
- Relieve It: Especially beneficial for relieving discomfort, Relieve It can be alternated with PanAway for a wider spectrum of relief.
