Did you know your pet’s behavior issues can signal underlying health concerns? For example, dogs who are noise-sensitive often benefit from kidney and bladder support. And shredding objects could be more than just boredom—it might point to deeper physical imbalances.

On this episode of The Inside Scoop, Caroline Ingraham, an expert in animal zoopharmacognosy (self-medicate), joins us to discuss what your pet's behavior may be telling you about their health and identifying the essential oils that may help.

We also discuss:

• Species & Breed Differences in Essential Oils: Why certain dog breeds may react differently to oils compared to others. Plus, find out why size doesn’t always determine how much oil your pet needs.
• Cats & Essential Oils: Cats have their own special way of metabolizing essential oils, and Caroline will explain how they safely process oils differently from other animals.
