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 ~ Frankincense



Frankincense of the carteri variety is often referred to as “regular Frankincense” as opposed to Sacred Frankincense.  Frankincense is likely one of the most important and well used oils in the animal world.  It has been used with every species, in almost every way imaginable. It is incredibly safe, well tolerated, versatile and effective.  Major conditions in which Frankincense is used include all forms of cancer, tumors, cysts, behavioral conditions, depression, brain disorders, seizures, immune system stimulation and regulation, autoimmune disorders, DNA repair, and more. Frankincense is considered a "life force" oil and has been used extensively in critical cases in many holistic veterinary hospitals. The use of Frankincense in times of transition and death is incredibly helpful to the animal, as well as to the animal's guardian.






Frankincense also appears to magnify and enhance the effects of other essential oils when they are used concurrently.  Frankincense is also found in many essential oil blends and products, which can be utilized in animals.

Frankincense has been used many, many ways in all animals:  butterflies have dipped their feet in it, honey bees have had cotton-ball diffusers placed in their bee hives, birds have been misted with water-based solutions, fish have had it added to their aquariums, it has been ingested in large amounts in many species, rabbits and guinea pigs have been pet with it, and it has been diffused in a variety of ways.



Common ways to use Frankincense on all animals including Birds & Exotics, Cats, Dogs & Large Animals:  Adding one drop or more to 1 liter of drinking water, adding one drop, (or more) to 1 tablespoon of food, adding to a Species Specific Raindrop Technique, water misting with 4 drops(or more) added to 4 ounces of distilled water, via petting (neat or diluted) direct application (neat or diluted) indirect diffusion, and water diffusion.

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 Nutrition 101 ~ Sulfurzyme® Powder & Capsules for Health & Healing (Animals & People!)


Sulfurzyme® combines wolfberry with MSM, a naturally occurring organic form of dietary sulfur needed by our bodies every day to maintain the structure of proteins, protect cells and cell membranes, replenish the connections between cells, and preserve the molecular framework of connective tissue.  MSM also supports the immune system, the liver, circulation, and proper intestinal function and works to scavenge free radicals.  Wolfberries contain minerals and coenzymes that support the assimilation and metabolism of sulfur. FOS is added to this formula to support normal digestive system health.




Sulfurzyme Capsules




Sulfurzyme® is a source of MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) which is a natural anti-inflammatory and vital nutrient for body function.  Joined with NingXia Wolfberry, this product far surpasses any other MSM product on the market and appears to have much greater bioavailability from the combination.  Both the capsule and the powder form can be used in all animals.  Sulfurzyme® is incredibly helpful in cases of arthritis, all forms of skin conditions, autoimmune diseases, healing of wounds, reductions of scar tissue, and just general cell structure and function.  There are not many conditions that are not benefited by Sulfurzyme®.  Both the opened capsule and powder form can be mixed into foods, and even cats easily ingest it in this way.  It is very difficult to give too much of this product, and if you did, you would likely only see softened stools.  One capsule of Sulfurzyme® contains approximately 1/4 teaspoon of the powder. 

Birds & Exotics:  Start with a small sprinkling into foods, and gradually increase as needed. Approximately 1/4 to 1/2 of a capsule is generally consumed per day.  More can certainly be used in cases of need.

Cats:  Gradually increase to 1/4 to 1 capsule per day.  More can be used when needed.

Dogs:  Small dogs up to 20 pounds (9 kg) will generally get between 1 capsule once or twice a day, to 1 1/2 teaspoons per day.  Medium dogs 20-50 pounds (9 - 23 kg) will generally get between 1 capsule twice a day, to 1 heaping teaspoon per day.  Large dogs over 50 pounds (23 kg) will generally get between 2 capsules twice a day, to 1 tablespoon per day.  Daily amounts are split into multiple doses to be given throughout the day, and larger amounts can be used, if necessary.

Large Animals:  Up to 1 heaping tablespoon can be given twice a day in cases of need (especially in autoimmune conditions).

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.
