Benefits of Lavender oil for dogs
Anxiety Relief
Lavender is most known for its calming properties… not just for humans, but for dogs as well. Breathing the lavender helps to reduce their anxiety and stress.
Lavender oil has other uses for dogs too!
Insect Repellent
Lavender oil is a natural flea and tick repellent. Isn’t that great
to know? (ALTHOUGH I would not advise you to stop using your regular paralysis tick treatment especially in Australia) You can treat your dog’s bedding, spray it on his collar,
add it to his shampoo, and even dilute the oil and mist or spray it on your
dog*. Lavender will not kill the insects, but it will repel them.
Antiseptic uses
Lavender oil is great for an itchy dog. It soothes irritated skin and can help prevent infection from over-scratching. Lavender is a full spectrum oil, meaning it has antibacterial, antiseptic, and antimicrobial properties. It’s totally safe when used properly, and a must-have for your doggie medicine chest!
Cautions when using Essential oils
Here are some common sense rules to go by when considering using any essential oils at home on your dog:
- CONSULT YOUR VET BEFORE USING. ALWAYS.
- *Always dilute the oils. Check with your vet for the proper dilution ratio.
- Use only pure, therapeutic grade essential oils.
- Do not use oils on young puppies or very small toy breeds.
- If your dog is old, sick, or pregnant, do not administer the same amount you would for a healthy dog. Again, consult your vet FIRST.
- Never use the oils near your dog’s eyes, mouth, nose, or genital area.
- Never use oils on your cat.
Remember, your dog has a super sensitive sense of smell and may find the oil offensive. If he doesn’t like it, please don’t make him “wear” it.
