Essential Oils

A natural option to your pet's wellness care.

What Are Essential Oils?

Essential oils are all natural substances that are created by plants. Doterra oils are 100% pure and have been used for hundreds of years. Essential oils offer complementary therapy and enhance other therapies. We recommend only the use of certified pure therapeutic grade essential oils that are tested for purity and potency. Doterra is 1 of 3 companies that is constantly producing pure oils.

Some benefits for dogs and cats are arthritis, anxiety/stress, digestive support, emotional/behavioral support and neurologic support.

Getting Started With Your Oils

There are 3 methods of using essential oils. They can be used aromatically (inhaled), topically, and orally. The best way to introduce essential oils to your household is aromatically by using a water-based diffuser. You’ll want to run the diffuser in an open/large room and only apply 1-2 drops of the oil of choice. This is the safest way to see what your pet can handle. You will want to monitor your pet for any discomfort, such as putting distance between themselves and the diffuser. Other signs are lethargy, panting, drooling, or eye squinting.

If you are interested in getting started with Doterra oils, we can offer guidance of use after doing an examination and coming up with a treatment plan for your pet specifically.
