Hi Kelly, K&B™ is formulated for human use. We recommend that you seek the advice and recommendation of a competent, trained veterinarian with knowledge and experience with essential oils use on animals concerning your lab. Thanks for stopping by with your question!
I drove cross country (CA to NC) with my cat, using Peace & Calming to keep him relaxed while we drove 8+ hours each day. It worked like a charm! We would apply 3 times throughout the day. I cannot imagine that trip without this great blend of oils!
I'm doing a lot of research on using EOs with pets. There are many holistic veterinarians who discuss how they use oils in their practice. Fascinating! One is the basic Raindrop Technique which uses Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Cypress, Wintergreen, Marjoram, and Peppermint. This was created by Gary Young for humans, but holistic veterinarians are using it successfully with dogs, horses, and other animals. The oils are diluted in the V-6 Oil first for Cats and smaller animals. I have used this technique on my small dog with no negative responses.
This is a question...you say not to use on sensitive areas. Does that mean just the oils...or...does that mean the ointment too?
I had a live chat & said the ointment would be good for areas that Tabatha (my grand daughter's cat) had licked to the point that there was bare areas of fur.
I would really appreciate a reply...to clarify.
Hi Veronica, We recommend following the directions listed on the Animal Scents™ Ointment. If you have further concerns, we recommend that you seek the advice and recommendation of a competent, trained veterinarian with knowledge and experience with essential oils use on animals.
How do I use Puriclean on my dogs? I have a mini Schnauzer and a mini cockapoo. My husband sprays them with chemicals and I don't like it so that's why I bought Puriclean.
Tammy gave her fly spray recipe above.
I believe that is Mary Jo's recipe, not Tammy's. Worth a try, though!
Bella ( black golden retriever)has been brought up on oils. She gets new dog treats every week. She loves those. Everyone one wants to know how I get her coat so shiny but that is my secret. Ha.
Our fur baby is a dog. Her name is Lily. She's a 7 lb yorkiepoo. She loves the smell of animal scents. I have used lavender to keep her from taking her bandage off of her foot. I have applied animal scents to pad of her feet.
What oils would be good and beneficial for a horse and how should I apply safely for the best results
