Peace & Calming For Dogs

Did you know that your pets are extremely sensitive and aware of your mood and emotions? I know many pet owners who have experienced times of sadness or anxiousness, and then suddenly their beloved cat or dog comes to them as if to help ease their woes.

So what do you do when your furry friends are upset, anxious, or jittery? Consider using Young Living’s Peace and Calming essential oils to help.

As suggested in the Essential Oils Desk Reference, “If you have a high-spirited, jittery animal, apply Peace & Calming on yourself first. As you approach the animal, it will react as it perceives the aroma. Kneel down or squat beside the animal and remain still for several minutes so that it can become accustomed to the smell. As the animal breathes in the fragrances, it will become calmer and easier to manage.”

Peace & Calming

Peace & Calming is a blend of essential oils that is useful for easing occasional stress, separation issues, and phobias.

Using this oil blend can be especially calming and comforting to new puppies, and to performance or show dogs, especially after an overactive and stressful day. It is good for new experiences or stressors and also wonderful for pets with occasional anxiety or phobias.

Apply Peace and Calming behind the ears of your pets when they’re acting rambunctious.

This blend includes the following oils:

• Tangerine – This calming essential oil helps with occasional nervous irritability and is rich in the powerful antioxidant d-limonene.
• Orange – Brings peace and happiness to the mind and body. Orange is also rich in the powerful antioxidant d-limonene.
• Ylang Ylang – May be extremely effective in calming and bringing about a sense of relaxation.
• Patchouli – A general tonic that helps the digestive system and is very beneficial for the skin.
• Blue Tansy – Induces relaxation and can be used to ease nervous tension and stress. It has wonderful anti-inflammatory properties and said to be beneficial for allergies, useful for asthma.

How To Use Peace & Calming

This blend can be used topically and aromatically:

• Diffuse in a room with the dog, in bedrooms, living areas and/or kennel.
• Drip 1-2 drops of Peace & Calming into one of your palms, lightly swirl the oil onto both palms, and then pet your animal to calm it down.
• Apply to pads of feet, tips of ears, or drip a couple of drops along the spine and give a calming massage.

Valor

Valor is the bravery oil. In addition to Peace & Calming, Valor and Lavender are the best oils for calming doggie nerves for times when fireworks are going off, people are coming over, or you’re taking a car ride. You can dilute Valor and put it on their paws, rub it on their ears, or put it on your hands and rub it down their back.
