Getting Started

Do you like calming down or sleeping more deeply with essential oils? How about easing tummy troubles, or soothing a rash?

Think about this: When you are out running playing catch with your dog, they exercise and use their muscles just like we do. What oil do you use when you have over exerted yourself?

Use the same Ah-mazing oils on your dog for the SAME reasons you would use them on yourself. SIMPLE. Remember, you are protecting them from toxins, too!

Here are some starting points:

• Start by diluting heavily and use in moderation. Proper dilution will be discussed in a following lesson.
• Every animal is different, so carefully observe how each animal responds to the oils. Use common sense and good judgment as you try different methods.
• When you begin to introduce the oils to the animals, start by placing some in your palm and just hold your hands out – not close to their face. Keep your hands about 3 feet away and let them gravitate to you.
• Take special care on the face and do NOT get essential oils in an animal’s eyes.
• Avoid using high-phenol oils such as Oregano and Thyme with any animals, especially cats.
• Use special caution when using essential oils with cats. Cats are also generally averse to citrus essential oils. Most animals are more sensitive than humans to essential oils.
• Never, ever use any other brand of oils on your dogs. Remember, in the United States, to have a label say 100% pure, therapeutic, there only needs to be a 5% purity rate. Animals react very quickly to oils, so you need to use something completely pure. The Young Living oils contain all the key molecules needed for animals.
