Great Essential Oils for Cats

                  Learn how to safely use essential oils on our sweet and loving cats!




Essential oils work on our fabulous felines too! Just like dogs, cats respond incredibly well to essential oils.

One of the many benefits of all natural essential oils is that they work fast and get into the bloodstream within 20 seconds of being applied. .  


Our sweet and loving cats are small and sensitive. When using essential oils, use less than a drop of essential oil at one time. Use a half of drop for pregnant females and kittens. Dilute essential oils with coconut oil. Use citrus, melaleuca and pine essential oils with caution on cats and only when diluted with coconut or olive oil. Avoid these oils on kittens.

When applying essential oils to cats, apply the oils between the toes and on the pad of the foot when doing foot applications. Be sure to avoid getting oils in the eyes. If oils get into the eye, flush with milk as needed.
