How Much Should I Use?

Most animals are even more sensitive to the effects of the oils than humans. They often seem to have a natural affinity to the healing influence of the oils. Adjust dosage proportionately, based on body weight. If the protocol for a human being (at about 160 lbs) calls for 3-5 drops, then a horse (at 1600 lbs or more) could use as much as 10 times that amount while a dog (at 16 lbs) would need as little as one tenth that amount. Generally speaking, if you have never put oils on an amnimal before, you should start carefully, applying them only to the feet, paws, or hooves (on the frog and cornet bands) at first.

In the case of cats and small dogs, essential oils shaould always be diluted with organic olive oil or vegetable oil or our V-6 oil before applying because they are actually more sensitive to the biochemicals in the oils than humans. Be careful to avoid high phenol oils such as oregano and thyme on cats becase they can be extremely sensitive to these stronger oils. They should only used in high rates of dilution (90%) and the diluted oil should only be applied to the paws.

General Guidelines

For small animals: (cats and small dogs) ~ Apply 3-5 drops diluted (80-90%) oil mixture per application.

For larger animals: (large dogs) ~ Apply 3-5 drops neat (dilute if using oils high in phenol compounds) per application.

For large animals: (cattle and horses) ~ Apply 20-30 drops neat (dilute if using oils high in phenol compounds) per application.

Emergency Pet Care Kit

Veterinarian Dr. Mary Hess of Madison, Wisconsin, recommends that every pet owner carry an essential oil emergency kit for pets. Based on her experience as a veterinarian, Dr. Hess suggests these ten Young Living essential oil blends to keep pets feeling their best.

• Purification®: This blend is useful for external parasites such as fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes.
  
• Thieves®: Perfect for attending to minor wounds, abrasions, and lacerations, Thieves is also utilized for addressing dental concerns. This blend is safe for kittens and puppies.
  
• Melrose™: When used in conjunction with R.C. and Raven, Melrose provides respiratory support. It can also be used on minor wounds, abrasions, and lacerations if Thieves cannot be tolerated.
  
• R.C.™: Ideal for respiratory and urinary tract support, R.C is practical for cats that require bladder fortification, which does not respond to conventional therapy. (It can be paired with Raven for added support.)
  
• Raven™: Also utilized for respiratory and urinary tract support, Raven is more powerful than R.C. and features essentials oils not found in the latter. Combined, the two oils are highly effective.
  
• Di-Gize™: The gastrointestinal system responds well to this blend. Nutmeg and ginger can be added for additional support.
  
• M-Grain™: Provides relief from head discomfort resulting from sinus pressure.
  
• PanAway®: With osteoarthritis common in older pets, PanAway is valuable for relieving discomfort and relaxing the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. This oil blend can be used alone or in addition to other essential oils that aid in general discomfort. Using a moist towel over the area increases the effectiveness of the oils.
  
• Relieve It™: Especially beneficial for relieving discomfort, Relieve It can be alternated with PanAway for a wider spectrum of relief.
  
• Peace & Calming®: If stress, fear, anxiety, or other similar conditions are present, Peace & Calming can be used to calm a pet. If the pet is injured, Peace & Calming can relax the animal enough to administer other treatments. This blend can also been used on cats who are resistant to other forms of treatment for urinary problems or excessive grooming resulting from stress.

Don't expect the same results unless you are using Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ Essential Oils and supplements. Also each person is unique and different in chemistry and toxicity levels, as well as emotionally and spiritually, so an oil that is suggested for an issue may not work as well as another. If a change is not apparent within three minutes, try another oil.
