So, I know how important it is to keep our furry friends safe and healthy. In that vein, I wanted to share some essential information about using essential oils around pets. Is it safe to use essential oils on or around pets? While essential oils have many benefits for humans, they can be a bit tricky for our pets. Here are a few key points to keep in mind: Avoid Direct Application: I do not recommend applying essential oils directly to your pets. Use Caution When Diffusing: Animals can react differently to certain aromas and compounds, and what is harmless to humans can sometimes be dangerous for animals. Pets should always have the option to leave the room when a diffuser is running. Before introducing essential oils into your home, it's always a good idea to chat with your vet. For more insights, you can check out the ASPCA's guide on the [Essentials of Essential Oils Around Pets.]( What to do if your pet is exposed to essential oils: According to the [New York Times]( if you suspect your pet has been exposed to essential oils and is showing any adverse effects — such as watery nose or eyes, skin or gum redness, drooling, difficulty breathing, vomiting, lethargy, tremors, or more severe symptoms like liver failure — take immediate action: If inhaled, move your pet to fresh air. If the oil has come in contact with their skin or fur, wash it off using dish soap. If ingested, do not induce vomiting. Essential oils can stick to an animal's lungs animals. Secure the product and its packaging in a sealed bag to bring to the vet.
