[Everything doTERRA] Re: Dog's and essentail oils?

they say to use EOs with cats with extreme caution because of the way their livers work- it can easily be too much for their bodies to handle.
My dog has never had a problem with EOs, I have made EO recipes for him (calming and for his skin) and he has not had any bad reactions to them.
I have used both DigestZen and lavender, in addition to others, on my dog without issue.
Your guy may have some sensitivities- be very careful using oils on him and dilute heavily if you still want to use them for him would be my advice.

Anyone else?

Question regarding using the oils on animals? can it be harmful? I understand the oils are pure so using small amounts is criticial but can it be harmful to them? We have had some great expereinces using them on our animals when applied to their fur, verses the bottoms of their feet. Why is this?

 

My 85ib lab mix has had 2 really scary reactions to lavender and digest zen on his foot pads. The first time he ate 2 dozen cookies and wasnt feeling his best. I put a drop of digest zen with FCO on one paw and he went nuts. His leg starting twitching, he went outside to dig holes (which he never does) to lay down in a cool area. he will run into walls, doors, and the furniture. It is really scary! This will last for an hour. The second time he got stung by a bee so i put lavender on his paw again and same reaction.

 

I put lemongrass on his shoulder blades and he is fine with that, no reaction. Our cat got attacked and we used them on him and it seemed to make the infected area worse.

 

I just want to make sure it cannot hurt my animals.?
