This mixture smells
wonderful and, if therapeutic-grade oils are used, is
safe to use repeatedly throughout the day
on your dogs, on you, and even on your
kids! In situations and environments where insects are extremely
concentrated, drop a few drops of each essential oil into your hand, and massage
it through your dogs coat,
paying special attention to the legs and areas with less coat. Be careful
to avoid direct contact with the eyes.

IMPORTANT: We have been doing research on essential oils, and have gained some very disturbing, yet very important, new knowledge! At least 95% of the essential oils available in the world are "cosmetic grade", which means they are are improperly distilled, adulterated, mixed with carrier oils, and/or even mislabeled (for example, many "Lavenders" sold in Health Food Stores in the United States are actually Lavandin (Lavandula x hybrida - a hybrid of Lavender) - which is a completely different plant (and, hence, oil) than Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia). Lavandin contains chemical constituents which burn the skin, while true Lavender is actually used to heal burns!! Many people who have read that Lavender helps to heal burns have gone to their local Health Food Store, purchase a bottle of "100% pure Lavender Oil", which was really Lavandin, and have applied it to their minor burns only to end up with a more serious burn!) Not all essential oils are the same, in fact, MOST essential oils available in the United States are simply plant oils that smell good. To use oils therapeutically and safely, it is important to understand the difference! READ THE LABEL! Cosmetic-grade (unsafe for internal and therapeutic use!) oils will state "For External Use Only"; therapeutic grade oils will state, "For dietary or topical use." Please use only organic, therapeutic-grade essential oils on your family - both two legged and four! As far as I can tell, Young Living Essential Oils is the only company in the United States distilling and providing therapeutic grade oils with AFNOR and FDA certification. There are other such companies in other countries (particularly France), but the large majority of essential oil manufacturers are producing cosmetic grade oils (and the United States consumers are being duped!! In Europe, the "every day consumer" knows the difference, since Essential Oils have been used medicinally there for years!). For more information, please email or call!
