  • We have a nervous dachshund who likes to chew at herself. We have been applying lavender to her paws and it seems to have calmed her right down. We have also started making all of her shampoo to with the oils and she loves it... We are very grateful.

    • What is your recipe for her shampoo? I'm not a fan of the shampoo we've been using on our dog and would love to make one using oils.

  • Can you please share your horse fly recipe??! My mom wants to use the oils for her horse but she's unsure of what is safe and a tried and true recipe would really help her. Thanks so much!!

  • Michelle, I would love to know what you did. My guy has been suffering for almost 5 months now.

  • I have two female rescue dogs River (66lb) and Luna (73 lbs) They are a lab - Sheppard mix and a year old. I saw on the news you can use Juniper to help dogs by putting it in their bath to help with relieving toxins? Only thing is my dogs are so big we wash them in the back yard with the hose not the bath tub. Is there other ways we can use Juniper Essential Oil to help them?
