Pets & Essential Oils
First a word of caution: Do NOT use regular store-bought essential oils on your pets as they are not pure and could cause great damage to
your beloved pet. Also a note to remember, that a very little oil goes a very long way. For instance, for a dog the size of 75 lbs. only one drop of Young Living essential oil diluted is needed. Essential oils should always be diluted with a carrier oil because they are actually MORE sensitive to the biochemicals in the oils than humans. Rule of thumb - 1 drop per 1 teaspoon of carrier oil is sufficient, unless the dog is very small, then 1 Tablespoon of carrier oil per 1 drop of essential oil suffices. For Smaller animals- diluted oil should only be applied to the paws. An excerpt from one of Gary Young’s books and his experiences using essential oils on his animals is below … "I have raised animals all my life and presently have several miniature horses as well as four teams of draft horses. I also have pygmy goats, barbadoes sheep and llamas at my ranch where I reside. On my 1300 acre herb farm at Whispering Springs in Mona, Utah, I have an animal petting zoo with Bactrian camels. zeeboos from Africa (miniature Bhramas), Watusi cows and bulls, Walleroos (miniature kangaroos), llamas, buffalos, miniature donkeys, as well as horses and goats. As you can see we have a wide variety of animals. We have used the oils extensively on many of the animals and are continually making discoveries. The animals respond extremely well and we feel they have benefited greatly. In my experience, I have found that animals respond to essential oils much the same as humans. Animals are not as sensitive to the phenol and sesquiterpene constituents so they can be applied “neet” or full strength. One needs only to determine which oils are applicable to the situation and then apply a few drops 3-4 times daily." by D. Gary Young Animals enjoy Raindrop Technique
Application and location The amount for small animals, like cats and dogs is like the application for a child: 3-4 drops each time applied. For larger animals, like large dogs apply 6-7 drops, for horses, apply 15-20 drops. After applying the oils, it is beneficial to cover the open wound with Rose ointment or Animal Scents™ Ointment which keeps the skin soft and helps promote the healing. Oils For Conditions
