Whilst there is a definitely a place for essential oils in the home, pet owners must take extra care with essential oils as some oils can be toxic to pets.
“When we talk about essential oils, we are actually talking about organic chemistry,” says certified aromatherapy expert Pat Princi-Jones. “Yes, they are natural, but this does not mean they are totally safe and without side effects!
We know from using them that essential oils are highly concentrated liquids made up of lots of chemical compounds prepared by the parent plant to protect itself. Certain chemical groups found in essential oils can be irritating – if used carelessly and incorrectly.”
“I have no doubt that pure essential oils can work wonders on our pets when used with care and as directed. My observations over decades confirm that essential oil actually can strengthen the canine-human bond.
