3 Must Have Essesntial Oils to Calm Your Pet
The reason I love animals so much is that they give off an attitude of happiness, innocence and unconditional love to their people. Our pets are just as happy being a part of our household as we are of having them with us.
But sometimes an animal comes into our life that is a bit "out there!" For instance, the dog that has an irrational fear of rain and won't for the life of him go outside to potty during a rain shower. Or the cat who hides for hours when a friend comes over. Or, how about the dog with attachment issues that destroys the house while you're at work? Any of these sound familiar?
My cat's, Sammie and Max, love to hang out on our screened-in patio. But whenever the garbage truck comes rolling in, they flee for their lives! It might sound crazy to us, but whatever your animal's fears or wacky behaviors may be, they are completely legitimate in their minds.
Using essential oils on your animals can really take the edge off of their anxiety, big time! Because of an animal's heightened senses, they respond very well to essential oils. In the wild, animals eat specific plants to heal themselves. In captivity (our homes), the plant kingdom is not readily available.
Using essential oils on your pet gives them access to the vast healing properties of nature.
The three best essential oils to calm your pets are:
Lavender
Roman Chamomile
Peace & Calming® (a blend from Young Living)
These essential oils can be used to support your animal with; fear of rain and thunderstorms, separation anxiety, hyperactivity, trauma/abuse, depression, Illness, trips to the vet's office, grief/loss of another family pet and any other situation that causes great stress for your animal, such as garbage trucks!
When you apply essential oils to animals, always remember less is more as animals are very sensitive to essential oils. Also, with animals, it's best to dilute essential oils with a carrier oil such as organic olive oil. I recommend one part essential oil to 1 part carrier oil for all animals EXCEPT cats. The dilution ratio for cats is 1 part essential oil to 10 parts carrier oil.
Use caution with cats!
Any of the essential oils listed in this article are safe for dogs and horses, however; cats are a different story! Cats are extremely sensitive to essential oils containing phenols, such as oregano and thyme. Cats can not effectively metabolize phenols because they lack an enzyme in their liver to digest the phenols. Avoid Peace & Calming® essential oil blend on your cat, as it does contain phenols. Lavender and Roman Chamomile essential oils ARE safe for cats.
How to apply essential oils on dogs, horses and cats:
For calming dogs:
Mix 1 drop Lavender, Roman Chamomile or Peace & Calming® essential oil with 1 drop carrier oil. Rub this mixture on your dogs pads, ears or comb through their fur. Apply any time you sense your dog is stressed.
For calming horses:
Mix 1 drop Lavender, Roman Chamomile or Peace & Calming® essential oil with 1 drop carrier oil. Rub this mixture on your horse's muzzle, ears or cornet bands. Apply any time your horse is stressed.
For calming cats:
Mix 1 drop Lavender or Roman Chamomile essential oil with 10 drops carrier oil. Rub this mixture on your cat's pads, ears or comb through their fur. Apply any time your cat is stressed.
By the way, the essential oils in this article are also good for easing your anxieties, too! Dilution is not required on humans. Just apply a drop or two on your wrists, shoulders or behind your ears.
And the next time you're opening up a bottle of lavender essential oil, share some with your animal friends! They'll thank you!

You Don'T Have To Like Fish To Love Fish Oil
Fish has been consumed by humans since the dawn of time. It is only within the last 50 years or so, that we have come to understand the incredible health values that fish, and in particular the Omega - 3 fatty acids contained therein, have on many of our organs and systems. These Omega - 3's are found most prevalently in fish that consume various forms of algae as well as the larger fish that eat them. Ironically, fish do not produce these fatty acids themselves.
Over- fishing of numerous species and pollution have made consumption of certain species both less available and costly as well as potentially unhealthy. For years we have seen warnings regarding such species as swordfish, bluefish and shark for containing high levels of mercury and carcinogenic PCB's. As such, production and use of fish oil supplements for their many healthy effects has increased dramatically.
But what exactly are the health benefits of fish oil? What do Omega -3 fatty acids really do? Omega -3's help a body maintain appropriate levels of triglycerides which have positive effects on the heart, brain and vascular systems.
Long referred to as "brain food", fish oil consumption has been shown to help treat depression and has been studied with success in slowing the progression of Alzheimer's Disease. It is also believed to have a beneficial effect on the brain's frontal cortex which is believed to be the area controlling human behavior.
As for the heart and vascular systems, Omega - 3 is shown to reduce unwanted and dangerous clotting and can reduce high blood pressure. In fact, the American Heart Association recommends consuming one gram of fish oil per day while a Journal of American Medical Association study recommends two grams per day. While both recommend consuming fish itself, it is acknowledged that this is quite impractical and they acknowledge the benefits of supplementing Omega - 3 fish oil daily.
Fish oil supplements are readily available on the market from a number of manufacturers. Our recommendation is to find a caplet that is dissolved in the small intestine rather than the stomach such as Fisol by Nature's Way.
