At HMF we believe our pets are part of our family
There are so many scary stories around pets and essential oils doing the rounds. Yes you need to be educated on which oils to use and how to use them safely. When you do though they can give great comfort to our furry friends.
Jack, our 14 year old Bedlington Terrier, appears quite a bit in our HMF videos especially around dogs and oils. We’ve used oils to help him with his skin, bites, anxiety just to name a few.
As always good resources are so important. When working with Pets I tap into Janet Roark DVM a vet who uses doTERRA oils widely in her practice. You can find Janet on Facebook and grab a copy of Essential Oils for Pets Guidebook.
Please remember that the weight of your pet is very important when using oils as is the type of pet you have. Certain oils can be toxic for some animals.
If you are diffusing please make sure you always have an exit point for your pet – if they don’t like what they smell they can leave the space.
