10 essential oils to treat your dog
Treating your dog with essential oils is possible as long as you never apply them pure on the coat, avoid contact with the mucous membranes, do not use them on puppies or pregnant (or lactating) females, and ask the advice of a professional in case of doubt.
Lavender essential oil
Lavender essential oil is a versatile essential oil with both antiseptic, antispasmodic, healing, soothing, repellent (fleas and ticks) and sedative (= relaxing) properties. It is applied by the cutaneous route by being diluted with a vegetable oil massaged on the coat, and more particularly behind the ears in case of stress, such as before a visit to the veterinarian for example.
