Common animal aromatherapy questions asked and answered by an animal aromatherapy specialist trained by a veterinarian.
I have a lot of the same questions asked, maybe this post will answer some of those questions.
Question: I just need a quick oil for my dog to help with anxiety. What should I use? Answer: That depends on your dog, and there isn’t a quick fix. We should probably pair training with aromatherapy to find the source of your dog’s anxiety so we can help the whole problem, not just put a bandaid on it.
Question: What brand of oils do you use? There are so many options available. Answer: I only use doTERRA essential oils. This company has a rigorous testing process and I know the quality is there. Our pets cannot metabolize toxins as well as we do, when using “essential oils” from other sources that do not test their product as much and often, along the line additives seem to make their way in. Those additives and not using proper dilution ratios can cause harm to our pets.
Question: What oils do you use with your dogs? Answer: This could take some time. My short list is; Copaiba, Turmeric, DDR Prime, Frankincense, Lavender and Myrrh. My dogs are not the same as yours.

Question: What does an aromatherapy consultation look like? How do we set one up? Answer: I come to your home, we sit down and I ask you a lot of questions. I want to know what you are feeding your pet, any medical conditions, any medications they are currently taking, what your main concern is, what your goal is and any diagnosis your veterinarian has given. After that, I like to get to know your pet a bit and look at them a bit and document my observations. Once your pet is comfortable with me, I like to do a self selection where your pet chooses the essential oils he/she wants. Then, you and I put together a plan for your pet based on their choices. I like to do a couple follow up visits to ensure we are on the right track! You can contact me via my website, email or text. I am typically a week out for bookings.
