  • I have looked everywhere but cannot seem to find any information on oils with rabbits, does anyone have any information on that?

  • Looking for summer itch skin relief for a donkey.
    He scratches his ears on tree branches and makes them bleed.
    Thank you.

    • Hi Joan, We suggest reviewing the Animal Scents™ blends or other essential oil products. Please discuss these products further with your veterinarian for specific recommendations for your donkey. Thanks for stopping by with your question!

  • Anyone use EO on/around goats? I have 5 nannies about a year old that hate loud noises. They run as far away as they can get and have tried to jump the fence before to get away. I'm concerned about them getting hurt. Also something for ticks and flies would be great for them.

    • To calm them in spite of loud noises, please use Peace + Calming oil on their withers, hooves, and behind ears.

      For ticks and flies: Please use Purification oil.

  • Can I assume that the animal scents ointment is safe to use on all animals...specifically cats?

    • I use animal scents ointment on my cat. Keep in mind that for cats less is best. You don't need much anyway as it works so well. I've been using it on his back near the tail where fur is missing. The ointment helps to sooth and when he sees the jar he's one happy critter as it makes him feel better.

  • I have a small dog who has bladder control problems and will have accidents in the house. Has anyone had success using oils for this issue?
