STEP 10 – CALMING YOUR PETS

broken image

Sometimes Fido or Fluffy might get stressed about storms, company, you leaving, going to the vet, or a number of things. Or maybe they just need help sleeping at night.

 

You can help them naturally with the use of the RESTFUL BLEND in a few different ways.

 

DIFFUSING

• Use four to six drops in your diffuser of choice.

• Always observe your pets for the first 15–20 minutes after you diffuse a new oil in your home. If you have small pets, use a water-based diffuser rather than one that pulls directly from the oil bottle.

• Allow your pet to roam freely and leave the room door open so your animal may leave if they choose to do so, or if they don’t particularly care for an oil (make a note of this for future reference, so you know it’s one they might not like).

• Remember, some animals are more sensitive than others. But chances are, when you diffuse, your pets will try to sleep as close as they can to the diffuser!

 

TOPICAL APPLICATION

Apply one to two drops two to four times daily as follows:

• 1 tsp. carrier oil to 1 drop Essential Oil for cats and dogs up to 20 pounds.

• 1 tsp. carrier oil to 2 drops Essential Oil for dogs over 20 pounds.

 

Where to Apply:

• Along the spine (pet the hair backwards from tail to head to get the oil to the skin).

• Massage (who doesn’t love a good massage?).

• Reflexology points on the skin between the back paw pads.

 

NOTE: Did you know you can take an entire Class on the subject of ESSENTIAL OILS FOR PETS? Ask for details if you are interested.
