Aromatherapy scents can be a fabulous way to relax your dogs at home, in kennels or in daycare. There are a number of dog friendly scents that will leave your dog feeling relaxed and at ease.
Cedarwood Atlas Essential Oil
This oil can help to repel ticks and fleas on your dogs coat. If you are applying this to your dogs skin, collar or bedding, this should be diluted to avoid irritation.
Clary Sage Essential Oil
Clary Sage can reduce anxiety and stress in anxious dogs. This aromatherapy oil should be diluted and used in small doses.
Marjoram Essential Oil
This is a sweet and warming oil that works wonders for highly stung and nervous dogs. This can help calm the nervous system and reduce hyper-activity.
Chamomile Roman Essential Oil
Sadly dogs can experience depression just like humans. Chamomile is an excellent relief for this and can aid in helping emotional stress.
Lavender Oil
This oil is one of the most versatile and great for introducing your dog to essential oils. The calming effect of this will have your dog in a deep slumber in no time.
We absolutely love these natural remedies and hope you find success in them. They can be diluted and a small amount applied to collars, washing or in a spray bottle. These remedies can assist in conquering separation anxiety, anxious behaviours and restless dogs. The biggest bonus is you and your dogs can now share the Zen Den!
Remember with all essential oils it is important to read instructions and seek vet advice before use. Oils should not be consumed and should always be diluted prior to use. If your dog has consumed any essential oils, please seek medical advice immediately.
