For Anxiety and/or Nervousness try Lavender. Rub 1-2 drops between hands and apply to muzzle, between toes, on top of feet to smell when nose is down, and on edge of ears.

One to two drops of Essential Oil is all that is necessary on animals as they respond much more quickly to the Essential Oils than do humans. Vegetable oil can be added to extend Essential Oils over larger areas and to heavily dilute the Essential Oil for use on smaller animals.

As recommended by some veterinarians, soften your dog’s bed to make it very cozy and warm. If your dog is an ‘outside’ pet, allow him to sleep inside. A little moist heat, applied directly over painful joints, can be a great comfort to arthritic pets.

Get him a warm Sweater, or apply a moist heating pad. And massage the area twice a day with the following blend to soothe the pain away.

Pure Essential Oils may be added in small amounts to a pet’s bath water. About 8 drops of Essential Oils to 2 gallons of water. These oils work well: Lavender, Juniper, Eucalyptus, Cedarwood, Peppermint or Tea Tree.

Please be wary of any animal practitioner or supplier of Essential Oils claiming that their products or techniques are completely safe to use with cats: the statement is both inaccurate and unsafe. No matter what their claims say, nothing will change the unique physiology of a cat.

Generally, Essential Oils consist of hydrocarbons or monofunctional compounds from mono-and sesqui-terpenes, together phenylpropanoids and other volatile aliphatic and aromatic substances.
