How Can Essential Oils Help Your Pet?

Essential oils have been used for thousands of years for their therapeutic properties. When used correctly and safely, they can be a powerful complement to other healing modalities. Here are some of the ways essential oils can support your pet's health and wellbeing:

Emotional & Behavioral Support

• Calms anxiety, fear, and stress
• Supports animals with trauma histories or fear-based behaviors
• Eases separation anxiety
• Promotes a sense of peace and emotional balance
• Supports animals during transitions (moving, new family members, loss)

Physical Support

• Natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties
• Supports respiratory health
• Promotes restful sleep
• Supports immune function
• Aids in skin and coat health (when applied topically and diluted)
• Supports digestive comfort

Complementary Use

Essential oils work beautifully alongside acupressure, Reiki, and massage. They can deepen the relaxation response, support the energetic work of a session, and extend the benefits between appointments. We often incorporate oils into sessions when the animal shows interest and consent.

As always, essential oils are a complement to — not a substitute for — veterinary care. Always consult your veterinarian for any medical concerns.
