Research suggests that essential oils have a positive effect on many health conditions in people.
Like humans, pets can also benefit physically and emotionally from aromatherapy.
Animal Aromatherapy is similar but different to aromatherapy for humans.
With animals there are safety cautions, uses and actions based on
the individual animal’s breed, size, age, health history, allergies, etc.
This is all taken into consideration before any protocol is recommended.
I received my Animal Aromatherapy Certification
from Dr. Janet Roark, DVM.
She is known by thousands as the Essential Oil Vet.
As one of her Certified Animal Aromatherapist graduates,
I am afforded the benefit to consult with her
on cases that require her expertise.

Zoo pharmacognosy is the process of animal self-selecting.
Self-selection is allowing an animal to choose what they might need for what is troubling them.
Whenever possible, I use self-selection when introducing essential oils, so I can see the animal’s response to a certain aroma.
Many oils have similar therapeutic properties.
If the animal prefers one scent over another, I will use that.

I made a custom blend for Oni’s “mommy” who had a wound that wasn’t healing.
To her surprise she found Oni also enjoyed it and would gravitate towards it whenever she left it out.
This is one reason I caution folks to not leave their essential oils just lying around. Cats in particular are inquisitive and will get into them!
