Essential Oils & Animals

Young Living Independent Distributor # 3212642

You love your pets almost as much as your children and spouse, so treat them with the best products and support their well-being naturally with Young Living, because t
he QUALITY of an essential oil MATTERS!!
I ONLY use & recommend Young Living Essential Oils!

If you love using Young Living products in your home, you’ve probably wondered how you can share their amazing benefits with your animals. Which oils are safe to use? How much can I apply? Should I diffuse or apply topically?

If you’ve ever had questions like these, I'm here to help!* Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Most animals are more sensitive than humans to essential oils.
  • Start by diluting heavily and use in moderation.
  • Every animal is different, so carefully observe how each animal responds to the oils. Use common sense and good judgment as you try different methods.
  • NEVER use or diffuse oils in a room where the animal is trapped, and cannot exit to another part of the house if they are bothered.
  • Take special care to not get essential oils in an animal’s eyes.
Your animal’s size affects the amount of oil you should use.
For smaller animals like cats and small dogs, use 3–5 drops. Be sure to dilute 80–90 percent prior to application (for example, for every 1 drop of oil, use 4–5 drops of a diluting agent, such as V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex).

For larger animals, like large dogs, start with 3–5 drops. Unless otherwise indicated on the product label, dilution is unnecessary.


For very large animals, like horses and cattle, start with 10 drops. Unless otherwise indicated on the product label, dilution is unnecessary.

  • Apply oils to yourself or diffuse to introduce animals to essential oils and help them get comfortable.
  • Wear oils around your animals, diffuse in their space, or apply to your hands and let the animal smell them.
  • If your animal is jittery or resistant to essential oils, try applying an oil to yourself and staying near the animal for several minutes so it can get used to the aroma.



Once they’re used to essential oils, animals can respond well to topical application.

  • For cats and dogs, paws are a great place to apply essential oils.
  • For hoofed animals, we recommend application on the spine or flanks.
  • Try rubbing oils onto your own hands and then stroking the animal’s fur.
  • For large or hard-to-reach areas, combine essential oils with V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or water in a spray bottle for easier application.
  • Animal Scents™ Ointment can be used to seal and protect areas where essential oils have been applied topically.
  • Essential oils can be administered internally. 
  • Some essential oils can be mixed with your animal’s food. 
  • For large animals, you can pull out the bottom lip and drop oils directly into the mouth.

Story at-a-glance (Emmett the parrot's story seriously had me in ALLL THE FEELS!!)
  • Dr. Melissa Shelton is a holistic DVM who has pioneered the use of essential oils to treat animals in her practice – with really outstanding results.
  • Dr. Shelton’s interest in essential oils began very gradually, but ultimately became her passion. She considers the importance of oils to heal pets second only to a solid nutritional foundation.
  • Using essential oils, the doctor has brought several animals back from the brink of euthanasia, including a cat named Cowboy, Emmett the parrot, and one of her own pets.
  • Dr. Shelton believes the quality of essential oils and proper handling is the key to success with oils. According to her extensive research, the bad reputation essential oils have received is wholly undeserved, and certainly, the results she has achieved in her practice are a testament to the benefits of their use.
