Animals and DoTERRA Essential Oils
|
Did you know you can use some DoTERRA Essential Oils with some animals? Animals like to relax and enjoy the smells of oils just like humans.
Why doTERRA? Did you know organic means a product is only 70% organic and there are still chemicals used, just less then non-organic? doTERRA oils are CPTG - Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils - meaning they are a step above and beyond organic. They also have 14 different tests they use to ensure quality. If you want to know the quality of your oil, check the code on the bottom of the bottle and search the test results at DoTERRA's sourcetoyou.com. I want to know when I use oils on myself and animals that I am not using any synthetic oils/chemicals or fillers - that's why I DoTERRA - for the highest quality oils every time! I only use DoTERRA with my animals and that's also why I decided to sell them to help share them with others. Safety First While I have taken classes to use oils with animals from a Veterinarian, I would never suggest you give up Veterinary care and only use oils. Sometimes animals are in discomfort and need help to reduce discomfort and I have found using oils is complementary when used in moderation. One drop of oil absorbs into the skin in 30 seconds and absorbs into the whole body in 30 minutes so care must be taken when dealing with animals. One drop goes a long way and needs to be diluted with a carrier oil such as DoTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil. My dog appears every time I open my jar of coconut oil she loves it that much and waits for a teaspoon full to eat daily. It is important when you work with oils around animals that you follow safe practice of oils. Not all oils are good for them. Even out of the list of oils that you can use with animals, did you also know that you can let your animal choose with ones they like best? Animals have their preferences just like humans so always give them the respect of asking them first. Did you ever meet a horse that didn't like smells unless they were natural? I did. His name is Bud. He doesn't like candy peppermints. Bud is smart. He wants natural ingredients, not sugary peppermint that smells like peppermints to humans but contained chemicals to make them smell like that. Animals sense of smell is more acute than humans so trust them. Always check your oils labels to see if that oil can be used for aromatic, topical and/or internal use and only use as specified. Never put any oils around your animals eyes, ears, nose or genital areas. You must also know your animals health, and if they are already taking any meds or supplements. Always dilute with a carrier oil like doTERRA fractionated oil ("FCO") as oils and water don't mix and can give your animal a reaction - if there is a reaction, welt or skin irritation, dilute further with FCT, never water. For diffusion, use a cold water diffuser like the Lumo. I'm going to focus on horses, dogs and cats. |

Horses and DoTERRA Essential Oils:
Horses are very sensitive and smart animals. Anyone who has worked around animals knows that. They can not only smell you coming, they know what kind of day you are having too! So when you approach your horse with oils, have in mind that you are offering them oils if they want them, never try to force oils on them. They already know what oils they want.
Horses use the Flehmen Response when they smell something new. They curl their upper lips, lift their head up in the air and hold a smell in their nostrils to examine it, decide if they like it, and add it to their memory bank. You don't even have to take the cap off for them to smell it.
Positive responses include lip smacking, yawning, chewing and movements that show they are in "release" mode to relax.
Negative responses include turning their head away, leaving, backing up to get away.
Indifferent responses include no reaction.
Uses of Oils
Aromatic - diffuse in the air in the tack room, barn, hallway to purify the air, put your oil on a cloth and hang out of each of your horse.
Topical - what horse doesn't like a massage along the spine, some even like oils on the tips of their ears? You can also put on lumps and bumps. In this way oils enter the horses system for quick response. Never put on the saddle area before riding or putting on the saddle.
Internal - this use is controversial, used in dietary use so only use DoTERRA oils and dilute with a carrier oil like doTERRA fractionated coconut oil.
If your horse is pregnant, don't use: Arborvitae, Basil, Birch, Cassia, Cinnamon, Rosemary and Thyme.
There are also hot oils to avoid or use only with veterinary assistance: Thyme, Oregano, Clove, Cassia, Cinnamon, Peppermint.
Do you want your horse more relaxed when moving in their trailer?
Does your horse get stressed or have anxiety?
Is your horse emotional?
Does your horse have tummy issues like gas, bloating or discomfort?
Does your horse get cuts, scrapes and scratches?
Do you want a spray for blankets to calm your horse?
Do you want to repel flies, fleas and ticks away from your horse?
Is your horse a cribber or weaver?
Do you want to use an oil for cardio, immune, digestive, respiratory, muscular, nervous and urinary systems?
Do you want to increase lymphatic flow?
Do you want to increase cellular and DNA health?
Do you want to make your own liniment for tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints?
Do you want an oil for massaging your horse for all ages?
Does your horse spook easy?
Do you want a more healthy skin, mane, tail and hooves for your horse?
Does your horse need respiratory help?
Do you need a crud buster for your horse and barn?
Do you want a safe cleaner for your horse buckets, stall surfaces and troughs?
If your answer to any of these is yes - we have an oil for any and all of these things.
Do you enter your horse in horse shows and events? Check the rules of the event as essential oils could be listed as performance enhancers like herbs. A good rule is to not use oils 12-24 hrs before a show or event if they are prohibited or if you are unsure.
Just reach out and ask me and I'll help you get your oils and give you some tips and recipes to use DoTERRA Essential Oils.

DoTERRA Essential Oil Kits
The Nature's Solutions Kit includes all the oils you need for horse and rider and dog or cat and owner except for Copiabia so we'll check the oil of the month to see if that one is on special or free on enrollment when you enroll or order. This is the best kit to get with great savings.
But there are more kits too. Try the Home Essentials Kit which has the diffuser and 15ml bottles of oils or the Family Essentials Kit without diffuser and with 5ml bottles of oil instead of 15ml. With both of these kits you will need to get a few more oils to go with each for use with animals.
Click here to view all kits and savings.
If you want to buy the oils separately, the best option then is to get an account so you save 25% off all your oil products for you, your animals and family, just like I do. If you still want to buy retail, you can do that too by clicking here.
Just reach out to me and I'll help you get started using doTERRA.
