Essential Oils and Dogs: Unleashing the Safety Tips for Your Furry Friend

Essential oils have gained popularity for their therapeutic and aromatic properties in the realm of holistic health. While humans often enjoy the benefits of these oils, the use of essential oils around pets, particularly dogs, requires careful consideration. Dogs have unique physiological characteristics, making them more sensitive to certain substances found in essential oils.

Understanding the Risks

Just like with cats, essential oils can pose risks to dogs due to their distinct metabolism. Dogs have a heightened sense of smell, and their skin can absorb oils more readily than humans. Moreover, they lack specific enzymes to process certain compounds found in essential oils, making them vulnerable to adverse reactions. The consequences of exposure can range from mild skin irritation to more severe symptoms like drooling, vomiting, difficulty breathing, and liver damage.

Toxic Essential Oils for Dogs

Several essential oils are particularly toxic to dogs and should be avoided entirely:

a. Tea Tree Oil: Known for its antiseptic properties, tea tree oil can cause toxic reactions in dogs, leading to skin irritation, lethargy, and even paralysis if ingested.

b. Cinnamon Oil: This oil can irritate a dog's skin and gastrointestinal tract, potentially causing vomiting and diarrhea.

c. Peppermint Oil: Although safe in small doses for some dogs, concentrated peppermint oil can cause digestive issues and respiratory problems.

d. Citrus Oils: Oils like lemon, lime, and orange contain compounds that can lead to skin irritation and upset stomachs in dogs.

Safe Usage of Essential Oils Around Dogs

If you use essential oils in your home and have a canine companion, follow these precautions to ensure their safety:

1. Dilution: Always dilute essential oils significantly before using them around dogs. Using carrier oils like coconut oil or jojoba oil can help reduce the potency.

2. Avoid Direct Contact: Refrain from applying undiluted essential oils directly onto your dog's skin, especially in sensitive areas like the abdomen and face.

3. Diffusion: When diffusing essential oils, ensure proper ventilation and avoid using the diffuser in a confined space.

4. Observe Your Dog: Pay close attention to your dog's behavior and look for signs of distress or discomfort. If you notice any adverse reactions, discontinue use immediately.

Alternative Approaches to Aromatherapy for Dogs

While essential oils may not be suitable for all dogs, there are alternative methods to create a calming environment for your furry friend:

1. Herbal Infusions: Some dog-safe herbs like chamomile and lavender can be used to create gentle infusions for their beds or living areas.

2. Professional Advice: Seek guidance from a veterinarian or a certified animal aromatherapist before introducing any new scents or remedies to your dog's routine.

While essential oils have therapeutic benefits for humans, it's crucial to approach their use around dogs with caution. Dogs' unique physiology makes them vulnerable to potential dangers associated with essential oils, especially when used irresponsibly. Always prioritize your dog's well-being by choosing safe alternatives or consulting with a professional before introducing any new scents into their environment. By being mindful and informed, you can create a harmonious and safe living space for your beloved canine companion.

Can birds use essential oils without risk?

Essential oils are getting more and more popular as a means of treating certain medical issues and relieving anxiety. These strong oils have long been used in aromatherapy and are occasionally seen as natural alternatives to conventional medicine. People are also utilizing them more and more in their houses for a range of purposes; however, is it safe to expose the birds you love to these oils? It all depends on the oils they use, the way you use them, and, above all, what your veterinarian has to say. The simple answer is probably not likely yes or no. Read More...

hey mod do you have any insight into why dog food smells wretched?

their sense of smell is more sensitive than ours, but it isn't that different, is it??

why do we make food for them that smells like crap garbage and why do they accept this

there are dogs who think the highest dining experience is cat shit, i can't know their machinations.

Do Essential Oils Pose A Risk To Cats?

While you may find essential oils, aromatherapy, or potpourri to be relaxing, your cat may be at risk from the natural components in these scents. When using these products, exercise caution to prevent a harmful reaction in your cat. It could be better to remove these goods from your cat's surroundings if they have any liver damage.

five recipes for an exciting life (in my opinion)

spending enough time creating things with your hands (baking, drawing, scrapbooking, doodling, crocheting, journaling and so on)

keeping track of things like pretty skies, milestones, happy memories, appointments you're looking forward to

listening to music that genuinely makes you feel happy and energetic

making a habit of reaching out to people in a way that's comfortable to you (i send my dad songs he might like, my friend sends me monthly life updates)

being kind to all your five senses → like investing in a scented candle or essential oil dispenser or body mist, having a soft blanket or socks (or a soft animal to pet), listening to birdsong or the rain, looking at the sky more often, and having your favorite foods enough times

I love telling my non-pagan friends about what it’s like to be an academic pagan surrounded by the fluffy *~*woo*~* crowd because sometimes people will see me wearing some of my special jewelry or some charm or something out in public and they’ll walk up and it’ll be like

Princess Morgana Moonbeam Tatertits: WOW OMG I just love your crystal/brooch/thing are you one of us?

Me: That all depends on how stupid you’re about to sound.

Princess Morgana Moonbeam Tatertits: I don’t wear deodorant or brush my teeth because it interferes with my ability to harness the sacred f--

Me: Aaaaaand we are done here.

Emerges from my cave to announce I have created a new sophont

Tentatively calling swimslugs for now, as their designs mostly draw from mollusc anatomy. These small, colorful creatures dwell on a high gravity world dominated by shallow golden seas. Electrical engineering came early in their history, inspired by the ability of some of their native animals to generate electrical currents… and their own natural electroreception. The last few centuries have been peaceful and prosperous; their myriad cultures emphasize an exchange of art, culture, and friendly competition to sport the tackiest color schemes imaginable. Due to the high gravity of their world and their own physical limitations as aquatic creatures, swimslugs have a very limited history of aviation and have been generally uninterested in space travel, despite having been digital penpals with another group of sophonts for generations now…

On their biology:

Swimslug life relies on symbioses with two different organisms: a worm and a sessile “tunicate”. The worm (also simply referred to as an ‘arm’) is functionally a parasite; biting into the flank under the gills of its host early in life and fusing with its nervous and circulatory systems. This union allows the swimslug to develop fine motor control over the untethered end of the worm by adolescence. Most swimslugs only host a single arm; two or more become difficult for most individuals to acclimate to and can lead to health issues. Many genetic and cybernetic variations of the arm are available in the current era. The ‘tunicate’ (I will refer to as the Vase) is essential to swimslug reproduction; all parents spawn into the Vase to ensure a safe shelter and a steady current of oxygenated water for the developing offspring. The average swimslug has at least two fathers; the hybridization of multiple sets of gametes is essential to the proper development of their species. Family groups often consist of the egg layer, her family Vase (these can last for generations), and a 3 or 4 mates, though the particulars vary enormously by culture. Their eggs have a relatively low hatch rate; unviable eggs are consumed by surviving larvae shortly after hatching. The Vases themselves periodically produce free swimming larvae that are affectionately kept around dwellings as pets.

Swimslugs communicate by grinding and clacking modified stomach-teeth, as well as percussing on the adjacent ‘oil-sac’ organ that also serves to regulate buoyancy and store energy. They come in a dazzling variety of colors owing to both their complex hybridizations and genetic engineering. Cosmetic nanobots applied to their slime coats enhance their appearance by functioning as artificial chromatophores.

And that’s the gist of em! Many thanks to @nknatteringly for all the idea pitching and bouncing in their early development, wouldn’t have felt half as inspired without ya. Not sure how much further I’ll develop these guys, they exist mostly as a fun diversion to contrast the gritty, low-tech world of the birgs and a love letter to all the sparkly stuff I liked as a kid.

| Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley head cannons

Being in a relationship with Ghost

Warnings: fem!reader x Simon Riley, strong language, fluff, slightly suggestive and mentions of sex, mention of blood and wounds, lots of pet names, simons awful dad jokes😨

Simon is a very intimate and physical lover.

He loves touching you and will always want to be close and affectionate with you, as he didn’t get that kinda physical affection as a kid.

He’s not big on PDA but as soon as you guys walk through the front door of your house, he’s all over you.

He’s absolutely terrified of accidentally hurting you like his father use to do to his mother.

So when you first started dating he was so cautious and gentle with you.

He was scared he’d break you.

But eventually he got more confident and comfortable with you…thanks to all your late night counselling sessions together on random nights. 

He never tells you about his injuries after returning from missions, so you’ll randomly find wounds on his body through out the night.

It’s an effort to get him to let you patch him up and be acts all tough as he doesn’t want to worry you.

“Just let me patch you up…it’ll be quick!”

“It’s fine, darlin’.”

“Simon, you’ve got a huge slash up your arm…”

“I’m alright. Let’s just go to the bedroom, I missed you.”

“I love you but we are not having sex with your arm sliced open.”

He’d eventually give in after lots of whining and complaining from him.

He hates to admit it but he does like it when you play doctor and sit in his lap, patching him all up.

“Look so pretty in my lap, lovie.”

You just roll your eyes, fighting back a smirk as you clean his wounds.

He loves when you give him back massages after missions and he happily returns them.

Loves when you use all your special essential oils and lotions to massage his sore muscles.

100% has fallen asleep mid massage.

Simon hates spicy food.

But he will suffer through it if you make it for him because he loves it when you cook.

“Simon? Are you alright?” You try to hold back a laugh as you stare at him from across the table.

“Hm? Yeah, yeah, m’fine…” He mumbled out, tears welling up in his eyes as he reluctantly scoops another spoonful of spicy pasta into his mouth.

You raise a brow suspiciously, “you don’t look fine…are you crying?”

“No! No, I’m not. Promise.”

“If you don’t like it you don’t have to have it,” you chuckle.

“I told you, I’m fine. Just a bit of spice…” there are tears practically spilling from his eyes and down his flushed cheeks.

You still tease him about it to this day.

He has also taught you how to make tea like a proper Brit.

He doesn’t believe in water.

This man lives off tea and bourbon. NOTHING ELSE.

He’s super quiet for a big guy.

He’s stealthy 🤨

So sometimes you don’t even hear him approaching and it scares that shit outta you.

He finds it hilarious yet he doesn’t even mean to.

Simon also sneezes so fucking loud.

Like you know those big ass sneezes dads do…yeah like that.

It quite literally makes you jump, every. single. time.

No matter how long you’ve been together…it always gets you.

DAD JOKES! DAD JOKES! DAD JOKES!

“Hey love,” he rasps out, voice croaky from sleep.

“Hm?” You groan, opening your eyes slightly.

“What do you call a soldier who survived mustard gas and pepper spray? A seasoned Veteran.”

“Simon, it’s 2 am.”

A/N: you guys seem to like my Ghost head cannons, so eat up🫶🫶

Also…more Konig and potentially Price fics coming up next!
