Essential oils take away

Please use any essential oils with caution and only as directed. Just because some oils are safe for dogs, does not mean it is completely safe for yours. Please ask a vet or do a small test before use. It is always better to be safe than sorry. Your dog may have allergies that make these oils not safe for him or her. Please ask your vet before using any essential oils on or around your dog.
