FAQs

What is aromatherapy?

     Aromatherapy is the inhalation and topical application of pure essential oils from aromatic plants to enhance health, beauty and well-being.

What are essential oils?

     Essential oils are the volatile oils from the rind, flower, leaf, bark, root, or resin of aromatic plants. Fragrance oils are synthetic and not used in authentic aromatherapy.

How are the products used?

     Mist the air behind your dog’s head, inside the travel crate or car, or directly onto bedding. Alternately, spray onto your hands and massage the dog’s outer ears or abdomen.

Do the dogs ever associate the product itself as negative?

     You may want your initial use of the product to be at a non-stressful time. Lightly mist yourself and hold your dog to help associate the scent with a person of comfort and a relaxed moment.

 

 

How many “mists” are needed to be effective?

     For small, young or infirm dogs, one or two mists may be appropriate, and for medium to large dogs it may be necessary to use four to six mists.

How long before the product takes effect?
