The Benefits of Essential Oils for Animals ~ Purification

Purification Essential Oil blend is excellent at eliminating odors;  from skunk smell to doggy odor. Purification can be added to Animal Scents Shampoo or Thieves Household Cleaner for an extra therapeutic and de-skunking bath.  Purification diffusion is critical in animal environments for the control of odors, reduction of transmission of disease, and boosting the immune system.  Purification is the "go-to" oil for external parasites as well, and has been used in all species of animals for this purpose.  Purification is excellent for kennel cough, fungal respiratory infections, ear mites, ear infections, lacerations, abscesses, wounds, insect bites, insect repellant, external parasites, and upper respiratory infections. 

Birds & Exotics:  Purification has been used in many ways for these animals. Addition into Species Specific Raindrop Technique, water mister (4 drops in 4 ounces of distilled water), direct topical application (neat and diluted), addition to soaking water (1 drop per liter), water diffusion (including caging and tenting), addition into Animal Scents Ointment or Shampoo (1 drop per tablespoon), and via Petting (diluted or neat).  Oral use is not generally used in these species.

Cats:  The most cat-friendly ways to use Purification is by addition into Kitty Raindrop Technique, water diffusion (including caging and tenting), Petting (neat or diluted), water misting (when tolerated), direct topical application (diluted or neat ~ especially for ear mites and abscesses), and Litteroma.  For Ear Mites, 1 drop of Purification is places onto a cotton swab and swabbed inside the infected ear. Care must be taken not to have oil drip directly into the ear canal.  Please consult the ADR for more explanation into these conditions.  Oral use in cats is generally limited to ingestion by grooming.

Dogs & Larger Animals:  These animals can use Purification in all of the external methods as described in Physical Use of Essential Oil Blends, which is as follows:

The blends can largely be used much more extensively in these species.  If a blend is indicated for oral use in humans, then it can generally be consumed for these species quite easily.  All of the methods of application can usually be used, including insertion into Raindrop Technique, water and air diffusion, Petting (neat or diluted), direct topical application (diluted or neat), addition into various carriers (Animal Scents Ointment, V-6, Massage Oils), or added to pools and soaking water. Purification is not commonly used by ingestion.

The Benefits of Essential Oils for Animals ~ NingXia Red Juice Supplement

NingXia Red is a whole food drink made from several "super foods" and also contains the essential oils of Orange and Lemon. NingXia Red is very high in antioxidant action, contains many amino acids, vitamins, minerals, supports liver function, blood sugar balance, energy, and generally benefits the immune system and body as a whole.

NingXia Red is good for so many things, it is impossible to list them all.  In any condition listing where NingXia Red (NXR) is not listed, you can guarantee that the addition of the juice to the regimen will be beneficial.  NXR can often be used as a carrier oil for other supplements and essential oils when internal use is desires, and can even be used externally within various poultices and topical applications.

Specific conditions in which NXR is particularly helpful include (but are not limited to!), soreness due to vaccination, vaccination detoxification, hypoglycemia, any liver condition, Diabetes, anxiety, laminitis, inflammation, and allergies. 

Birds & Exotics:  As general maintenance approximately 1/2 teaspoon can be given per day. Some animals require and crave more, and in general they are allowed to ingest what they desire.  However, it is wise to make sure the amount they are given is gradually increased to avoid diarrhea or problems from a sudden food change.  During injury or illness, much higher volumes of NXR are consumed. 

Cats:  Some cats love NXR and some cats seem to loathe it.  It is, of course, their prerogative and they are quite certain you should know about it!  Many cats will accept small amounts of NXR Red added to their drinking water, but it must be made fresh frequently.  Many cats will eat NXR mixed into some healthy, premium canned food, and there are some who will drink NXR straight.  For general maintenance, cats can consume approximately 1/2 teaspoon per day.  During injury or illness, 1 tablespoon or more can be given, and is ideal if the amounts are divided up into more frequent doses.

Dogs:  Dogs are quite easy to give NingXia Red to.  It can be added to foods, or offered in a bowl (straight or diluted).  General maintenance varies depending on the size of your dog.

Senior dogs, or dogs with any sort of health complaint can generally receive double maintenance amounts on a long-term basis.  During injury or illness, triple amounts or more are given, gradually increasing amounts to avoid diarrhea or problems from a sudden food change. 

Horses & Large Animals:  NingXia Red can be given straight, added to water, or mixed with various feeds or hay.  For general maintenance, 1-2 ounces per day can be given. For performance horses and animals, often 3 ounces per day is given.  During injury or illness, 4 ounces or more can be given.  During laminitis episodes in horses, the consumption of 4 ounces or more of NXR per day has greatly reduced the duration of illness and eases pain and inflammation.

Essential Oils for Cats

Cats present their own unique controversies and requirements to essential oil use.  Most cat owners would agree that cats have distinct opinions of the world in which they allow us to co-exist, and this certainly holds true for aromatherapy. Cats are likely very proud of the fact that they are indeed the most contested topic in the world of essential oil use.  Human viewpoints of this subject range from the adamant stance that essential oils cannot be used safely for cats, to those who use contraindicated essential oils on a daily basis for their felines.

Essential oils for cats (and other animals) is a highly controversial topic, however, it really is an argument that boils down to the quality of the essential oils.  Rest assured that ALL of the oils we recommend for use on your animals have been tested for safety and effectiveness prior to us recommending them to you.  The one factor that we stress is to ONLY use therapeutic grade essential oils, and the only one we recommend is Young Living Essential Oils, as they are tried and true for more than 20 years.

Cats are sensitive to most synthetically made products and "natural products" as well as some essential oils . . . . even if we are not aware of it!  We bring this up as many of us have sensitivities to food, household cleaners, hair and skin products, etc., however, we may not recognize it because most of us are just not that tuned into our bodies and our environment. We may only recognize a change when we cease using certain products or stop eating a particular food item.

Have you ever considered the toxicity to your pets when you bomb your home with synthetic air fresheners, household cleaners or carpet cleaners?  Our pets have extremely sensitive noses and much smaller lungs, so subjecting them to breathing in chemicals and other toxic substances can do a lot of damage.

Many health problems today for humans, as well as for pets, can be traced back to toxicity within their environment, whether it's diet, personal care, or household products. 

Thankfully, there is something we can do about it!  Make a commitment to using non-toxic, holistic cleaning supplies, as well as diffusing healthy essential oils in your home and workplace for yourself and for your pets. 

Essential oils are the perfect solution for us and for our animals. Essential oils can replace most toxic medications for cats, dogs, birds, horses and any other living creature.  There are some oils that we cannot use on certain animals, cats included, so please do be careful and please ask us for guidance if you are not sure.  It is better to be safe than sorry, and the reason Holistic Pets & Peeps! exists is to educate folks on the proper usage of essential oils for their pets, as well as for themselves.

Some of the best essential oils for cats include Lavender, Oregano, Thieves and Peace & Calming, however, there are many other oils and nutritional products that are also quite effective!  Remember to always use therapeutic grade essential oils from a trusted source, such as Young Living.  There IS a difference, as demonstrated in the graph below.

Welcome to Healing Oils for Animals!

You may have arrived at our site seeking health alternatives for your cats, dogs, birds, horses or other animals. You may already use essential oils for yourself or your human family and would love to learn how to use them for your animals as well. We are here to help guide you on the proper usage of essential oils for animals.

We encourage you to share our posts, however, please do not alter our wording or our pictures in any way, as they are the property of Holistic Pets & Peeps! & Healing Oils For Animals and are copyrighted for our purposes.

Before we get started, there are a few important things to understand about essential oils and their use in animals. We are not medical professionals, nor are we here to diagnose your animals' condition, or proclaim to have a "cure" for anything. Our recommendations are by no means the only protocols that will work or that can be used for various conditions. What we will offer you is a natural, holistic approach to your pet's health, which includes pet food, treats, supplements, pet care products, holistic healing, and essential oils. It is a system that encompasses all aspects of overall animal health . . . . inside and out. 

If you have a question about a situation with your animal, please phrase it as such when contacting us: 

"My animal (please specify cat, dog, bird, fish, horse, or other animal) is experiencing ________. Is there an oil or holistic remedy for that?"

We will get back to you as quickly as humanly possible and / or post it on our Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/HealingOilsForAnimals) as a reference for all, as this may help them in a similar situation. We will also give you guidance as to how to administer the oils or supplements, via diffusing, topical application, or oral ingestion. Please DO NOT deviate from these instructions, or you may cause unnecessary harm to your animal.

Should you wish to get started with your own oils and products, we recommend that you enroll as a wholesale member in Young Living by purchasing the Premium Starter Kit, which gives you the Everyday Oils, a bonus oil called Stress Away, a Home Diffuser, as well as samples to try or share. This is an excellent investment in your health, as well as the health of your animals.
