Essential Oils For Dogs With Anxiety


Listen Later

People LOVE their dogs. They're not just an animal or a pet, they're a well loved best cbd oil for dogs bmember of our family. When a dog has anxiety it is rough on their humans. Veterinarians have a variety of prescription remedies for dog anxiety, but many people are looking for more natural ways to help their pets deal with this relatively prevalent issue. This is where essential oils can be of great benefit to dogs with anxiety issues.


The type of anxiety your dog experiences is going to dictate how you will be treating it. Whether the stress is related to loud noises, separation, or you've got a rescue with an unpleasant past that causes fear, there are essential oils that can help. As with humans, no essential oil is going to have exactly the same effect on every dog. Dogs, like humans, have personal preferences to different aromas. Fortunately, there are a variety of methods for delivery, and a variety of essential oils that can be tried in order to find what works for your pooch.


Before delving into the benefits of the particular oils I'd like to offer a word of caution/advice. Essential oils should never be applied directly to your dog's skin. A carrier substance should always be employed. Be wary of applying oils too close to the nose. Dogs' sense of smell is about 40 times better than a humans, so they are MUCH more sensitive to the effects of essential oils than we are. Keeping this in mind will make being treated with essential oils a much more tolerable and pleasant experience for your Fido. We all know how trainable dogs are, and if they have an initial negative experience with an oil, you may just be unable to utilize that one ever again. A good rule of thumb is to just stay entirely away from anything in front of the ears.
