 Much
like aromatherapy can provide emotional and physical benefits for
humans, aromatherapy can provide similar benefits to our beloved
pets and animal friends. It, however, is important to recognize
that animals are much different than humans. That is among the
reasons why medical doctors don't also act as veterinarians and
vice versa. (I'm simplifying, but you get the idea). The same essential oils and blends
that we use on ourselves are not always safe to use on our dogs,
cats, birds, horses or other pets. Cats, for instance, are especially
sensitive to essential oils. Many oils, most particularly
tea tree, are said to be quite toxic to cats. Limited information and research
is available regarding the safe use of essential oils and aromatherapy
with animals. Like veterinary medicine, animal aromatherapy can
and should be considered its own field -cats, dogs, birds, horses
and other pets differ extensively.  Be careful how you use essential oils with and around your dog and cat. When diffusing or blending
with essential oils, ensure that there is adequate ventilation
and keep the cats in another area so that its inhalation of the essential
oils is kept at a bare minimum. In 2002, Kristen Leigh Bell
published the text Holistic
Aromatherapy for Animals. Kristen Leigh Bell
is the most recognized expert in the safe utilization of aromatherapy
with animals, and her book is the resource that I have the
most confidence in when researching safe practices for animals.
