Arrrooo fellow pets and humans! I get VERY excited to share REAL healing help with others bepaws we dogs know what is best fur us. We have to be able to help our humans understand this and help them get over a quick fix and get used to caring for the WHOLE dog -meaning us as an entire being and not treating or masking symptoms, WOOF! Here’s a pretty easy guideline to follow when using Young Living essential oils and nutritionals. Remember this is not written in stone and every single animal is different and every single dog is different. Mom always says “Know Thy Animal”. If you know us, you can help us naturally, WOOF! So here ya go EXTRA CAUTION with cats:

Arthritis – (common in older animals and purebreds). Power Meal and SulfurZyme in feed. Large animals 2-4 servings per day. Small animals – 1/8 to ¼ serving per day. Ortho Ease or PanAway (massage on location or put several drops in animal feed). Use Raindrop-like application of PanAway, Wintergreen, Pine or Spruce and massage the location. For larger animals use at least 2 times more oil than a normal Raindrop would call for on humans.

For hoofed animals, apply oils on the spine or auricular points of the ears. Apply on the gums, tongue, or underneath the top lip. Sprinkle a few drops on the spine or flanks and massage them in. For a dog or cat, apply on the pads of their feet.

Examples of Applications – If you have a high-spirited, jittery horse that is tough to saddle, apply Peace and Calming and Valor on yourself. As you approach him, he will have a tendency to bow his head or flare his nostrils when he perceives the aroma. Kneel down or squat beside him and remain still so that the animal can become accustomed to the smell. As he breathes in the fragrances, he will become calmer and easier to manage.

Birthing – Gentle Baby

Bleeding – Geranium, Helichrysum.

Bones- (pain, spurs) (all animals) PanAway, Wintergreen, Lemongrass, and Spruce.

Bones – (fractured or broken) Mix PanAway with 20-30 drops of Wintergreen and Spruce. Cover the area. After 15 minutes rub in 10- 15 more drops of Wintergreen and Spruce. Cover with Ortho Sport Massage Oil.

Calming – Peace and Calming, Trauma Life, Lavender (domestic animals respond very quickly to the smell).

Colds and flu – Small animals put 1-3 drops Exodus II, ImmuPower or Di-Tone in feed. For large animals, use 10-20 drops.

Colic – For large animals (cows) put 10-20 drops of Di-Tone in feed or fodder. For small animals, use 1-3 drops.

Fleas and Other Parasites
Single Oils – Lemongrass, Citronella and Peppermint
Blends – Di-Tone. Add 1 or 2 drops of Lemongrass to pet shampoo. Oils repel fleas and other external parasites. Wash blankets with oils added to the wash water. Place 1 or 2 drops of Lemongrass on collar to eliminate fleas.

For internal parasites, rub Di-Gize on the pads (bottom) of the feet. Many people have reported that they have seen the parasites eliminated from the animal.

To Calm Horses – add Chamomile to feed.

For inflammation apply Ortho Ease, PanAway, Pine, Wintergreen or Spruce on location. Put Sulfurzyme in feed.

For insect repellent put 10 drops each of Citronella, Purification, Eucalyptus and Peppermint in 8 ounce spray bottle with water. Alternate formula – put 2 drops Pine, 2 drops Eucalyptus (globulus), 5-10 drops Citronella in a spray bottle of water. Shake vigorously and spray over area. Floral waters, such as Peppermint and Idaho Tansy can also be used.

Torn or sprained ligaments/tendons – Apply equal parts Lemongrass and Lavender on location and cover area. For small animals or birds – dilute essential oils with V-6 Mixing Oil (2 parts mixing oil to 1 part essential oil).

Mineral deficiencies – Mineral Essence. In one case, an animal stopped chewing on furniture once his mineral deficiency was met.
Mites (ear mites) – Apply Purification and Peppermint to a Q-Tip and swab the inside of the ear (NOT in the ear canal though).

Nervous anxiety – Use Valor, Trauma Life, Geranium, Lavender and Valerian.

Pain – Helichrysum

Saddle sores – Melrose and Rose Ointment.

Shiny coats - Rosemary and Sandalwood.

Sinus problems – Diffuse Raven, R.C, Pine, Myrtle, and Eucalyptus (radiata) in the animal’s sleeping quarters or sprinkle on bed.

For strangles in horses – mix 4 parts Exodus II and with 1 part Melrose.
To remove ticks – apply 1 drop Cinnamon or Peppermint on Q-Tip and swab on tick.

For trauma – Trauma Life, Valor, Peace and Calming, Melissa, Rosewood, Lavender, Valerian and Chamomile.

Tumors or cancers – mix Frankincense with Lavender or Clove and apply on area of tumor.

For worms and parasites – use ParaFree and Di-Tone.

For wounds – (open or abrasions) use Melrose, Helichrysum and Rose Ointment.

And of course, credit where credit is due. Thanks for sharing Carol. This is great!

Arrrooo, this is most excellent. Much as I hate going to the veterinarian, remember that this not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent and all that stuff. You need to see your holistic vet FIRST! What we really hope you do humans, is take care of us BEFORE we get sick by feeding us species specific food (for us dogs that means raw bone and meat, MY FAVORITE!), exercise, and giving us good supplements like Ningxia Red and Vitagreen, and using Young Living essential oils on us! Go ala natural, hehe!

Have a pawsitively tail waggin’, Young Living day, WOOF!
