doTerra for Pets Safety First: Here are a few tips and guidelines to help you use essential oils on and around your pets safely.

1. Pets have millions more olfactory receptors than us. For their comfort, allow pets the option to exit

the room by leaving the door open and only use three to four drops of oil at a time in a diffuser.

2. Oil residue from your hands can have the same effect on pets that it would on you. While petting is a great way to apply oils you want to use on your pet, wash your hands after using oils you don’t.

3. Use a little extra caution with cats when using Melaleuca, Birch, Wintergreen, Spearmint, and Peppermint, as well as hot oils such as Oregano or Thyme. Do not use Melaleuca topically or internally with cats and don’t let them lick Melaleuca off humans either.

4. As with any new thing you introduce to your pet, begin slowly. Start with a small amount of a diffused or diluted essential oil and observe your pet’s behavior.

5. Keep your diffusers in a safe place where your pet cannot knock it over.

Odor Relief 1/4 cup distilled water 1/4 cup witch hazel 8 drops Lavender 5 drops Lemon Mix ingredients in spray bottle. Lightly spray around dog and directly on fur.
