Ear Infection and Inflammation Remedy
Apply
Peppermint
Essential Oil along the ear line, on the outside of the ear (never internally, because it would burn the tender ear canal), applied over the fur down the tube of the ear from the outside.
Dog Skin Soother
Just like people, dogs often get dry and itchy skin. Soothe minor skin irritations by mixing 2 Tbsp. of almond or
coconut oil
and 10 drops of Lavender essential oil.
Massage the oil mixture into skin irritations to help reduce itch, kill bacteria and even calm nerves.
Calming Mist For Dogs
Measure essential oil into an empty and clean 8-oz spray mist bottle. Add the water until it is filled. Put on cap and shake well before each use.
Spray around the dog and even on its coat since Lavender is a good essential oil to repel mosquitoes and fleas. This is great for use in a car with a nervous dog or at any time your dog is over-energized.
Doggie Tummy Troubles
Whether it is constipation, dog motion sickness or they just ate something they shouldn’t have….just place one or two drops of
Peppermint
, Ginger, Tarragon, or Lemongrass Essential Oils on their paw.
May also be rubbed on their stomach.
First Aid for Dog Burns
