USING AROMATHERAPY FOR DOGS

Human beings are drawn to good smells…gingerbread cookies baking in the over, an orange as you first break the skin or freshly mowed grass or that heavenly smell of puppy breath. Can you smell each of those right now? I know I want a gingerbread cookie NOW! As you know, our dog’s noses are even more sensitive than ours, so it stands to reason they will be tuned into the benefits of the judicious use of essential oils.

WHEN CAN DOGS BENEFIT FROM ESSENTIAL OILS?  Since our dogs cannot tell us (yet) when they are feeling a bit anxious and could use some calming lavender, it is our job to be aware of their needs and help them as best we can.

By using aromatherapy oils, we can share the benefits of many herbs, botanicals and more without having to cook a batch of lavender or grow herbs on our windowsills. I wish I had the patience for that lifestyle, but I am a “order it on Amazon and pay for next day shipping” kinda gal!

                                                                                       HOW TO USE:

Very small amounts of the various aromatherapy substances can have powerful biological effects on your dog. For example, lavender has powerful calming, soothing effects on the brain and is a great oil for calming our dogs. It is not enough to just rub a bit of lavender oil on your stressed, rattled dog and walk away…it is part of a process.

CREATING A SAFE PLACE FOR YOUR DOGThe secret is to create a connection between a feeling of safety and security for your dog and the smell of the Relax. The smell of the Relax! Roll-on will become a “shortcut” and calm your dog more quickly when they are anxious or scared.

Making the Initial ConnectionYou will be creating the connection between the scent of Relax and a feeling of safety for your dog. It is easy and very pleasant to do!

Relax! Roll-on Directions:
Find a spot where your dog feels safe and secure
  • Sit quietly with them for a bit
  • Relax and enjoy your own quiet time
  • Roll some Relax! on your hands and gently pet your dog
  • Then roll the Relax! on your dog’s belly or inside ears
  • Continue to sit with them and allow the connection to grow
  • If you are comfortable with this, visualize them feeling safe and secure
These few minutes create a connection between the scent of the Relax! and a safe and secure time and place for your dog.

Relax! Spray Directions:
  • Mist a bit of RELAX Spray into the air and allow it to settle over your dog.  Spray 2-3 feet above your dog.  Tip: Don't spray it in their face - dogs don't like that!  If preferred, mist their bedding, inside their crate or go wild and mist the whole room.  Use prior to stressful situations, if possible, or as soon as possible.  Can be used in conjunction with RELAX Roll-On.​

THUNDER BOOM!

When a stressful event occurs (or prior to it) take a deep breath, and calm yourself first! THEN roll the Relax! on your dog, as you did in this initial connection. Calmly and gently tell them all is good.

Here comes the hard part. Try not rush to that energy of “Oh, you poor pitiful dog, scared by the thunderstorm.” Reassure your dog without buying into their panic.

If we reassure them too much, they often feel as if they are being rewarded for BEING afraid!

To use on yourself,  roll it on your wrist and/or neck (pulse points), to get the maximum effect. Your dog anxiety treatment can be of immense help to you also!

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR CANINE AROMATHERAPY USAGE:

Low quality aromatherapy oils may contain contaminates or adulterants. Only use therapeutic grade oils from reputable companies and verify the quality of oils before using them. No Dollar Store oils!

Also, use less rather than more. Think about the size of your dog versus the size of a person and cut back accordingly. If in doubt, use less. Also, if you need to dilute an oil, use another oil, such as cooking oil, etc. NOT water.
