If you\u2019re a pet owner, you\u2019ll want nothing but the best for your furry friends. With Young Living\u2019s carefully crafted Animal Scents \u00ae essential oils, you can pamper and spoil them, sharing your love of honest and effective wellness products. Grab your furry best friend and get comfy as we share our guide on essential oils for dogs.<\/p>\n

How do I apply essential oils to my dog?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Since dogs are highly sensitive to essential oils it\u2019s best to gradually introduce oils by patch testing them on a small area before using them fully. For puppies, avoid topical oils and for medium or large breed puppies, wait until they\u2019re over 8 weeks old. And the general rule for toy or small-breed puppies is, wait until they\u2019re over 10 weeks old. Once you use essential oils, play close attention to little Lulu\u2019s behaviour. If unsure, ask your local veterinarian for advice.<\/p>\n

Should I ask a vet?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s helpful to ask a vet, discussing your pet\u2019s personal condition. Getting their tips will ensure you\u2019re confident when using essential oils. If your furry friend has underlying issues, it\u2019s good to get more information.<\/p>\n

Applying essential oils topically<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Applying topically means applying the product onto your pet\u2019s body. When you\u2019re ready to give Teddy some tender loving care, dilute those drops with V-6\u00ae Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex. Refer to the bottle for dilution instructions.<\/p>\n

Speaking of dilution, did you know that our Animal Scents\u00ae oils come prediluted? Even though this carefully crafted essential oil is gentle, you may still want to dilute further using your preferred carrier oil. Keep an eye on how your pet responds and apply accordingly.<\/p>\n

Ready to spoil your furry friend? Rub the oil and carrier oil between your palms until your hands are no longer shiny. Rub over your pet\u2019s back, on the belly, and behind the ears. Take extra care to avoid the eyes!<\/p>\n

What Animal Scents\u00ae essential oils can I use with my dog?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
