Pet Health – Be Prepared Naturally

Are you concerned about your pet's health? Are reactions to harsh medications and ingredients in pet products getting stronger… but you just don't know where to turn for natural alternatives?

Rest assured that there are many wonderful natural products that can maintain and support your pet's health, with only beneficial "side effects." Veterinarians and pet owners are just starting to discover the amazing benefits of essential oils for pets.

Essential oils can cleanse minor wounds, abrasions, and lacerations naturally, they can help control fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes without toxic effects, they can provide respiratory and urinary tract support, soothe joint pain, and calm stress, fear, anxiety… all without toxic chemicals and harsh ingredients.

Trouble can strike instantly and unexpectedly. It's important to have the right essential oils on hand when you need them. That's why veterinarian Dr. Mary Hess of Madison, Wisconsin, recommends that every pet owner carry an essential oil emergency kit for pets.

Based on her experience as a veterinarian, Dr. Hess suggests these ten Young Living essential oil blends to keep pets feeling their best:

• Purification®: This blend is useful for external parasites such as fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes.
• Thieves®: Perfect for attending to minor wounds, abrasions, and lacerations, Thieves is also utilized for addressing dental concerns. This blend is safe for kittens and puppies.

And here's a great way to keep your cat's litter box clean with Thieves® Spray from Dr. Vera Franco Dahm:

“For years, I have used Thieves® Spray to clean and prep my pet's litter box. I dilute it and spray the box before laying down more litter. No odor at all and it cuts down on germs and mold growth, keeping it clean and fresh for my pet and for me.”

Thieves® essential oil is a blend of powerful, therapeutic-grade, antimicrobial essential oils. Lab test show that the Thieves proprietary blend was found to be 99.96 percent effective against airborne bacteria. (Thieves® Spray is an aqueous solution of Thieves essential oil in a handy spray bottle you can carry with you anywhere.)

• Melrose™: When used in conjunction with R.C. and Raven, Melrose provides respiratory support. It can also be used on minor wounds, abrasions, and lacerations if Thieves cannot be tolerated.
• R.C.™: Ideal for respiratory and urinary tract support, R.C is practical for cats that require bladder fortification, which does not respond to conventional therapy. (It can be paired with Raven for added support.)
• Raven™: Also utilized for respiratory and urinary tract support, Raven is more powerful than R.C. and features essentials oils not found in the latter. Combined, the two oils are highly effective.


• Di-Gize™: The gastrointestinal system responds well to this blend. Nutmeg and ginger can be added for additional support.
• M-Grain™: Provides relief from head discomfort resulting from sinus pressure.
• PanAway®: With osteoarthritis common in older pets, PanAway is valuable for relieving discomfort and relaxing the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. This oil blend can be used alone or in addition to other essential oils that aid in general discomfort. Using a moist towel over the area increases the effectiveness of the oils.
• Relieve It™: Especially beneficial for relieving discomfort, Relieve It can be alternated with PanAway for a wider spectrum of relief.
• Peace & Calming®: If stress, fear, anxiety, or other similar conditions are present, Peace & Calming can be used to calm a pet. If the pet is injured, Peace & Calming can relax the animal enough to administer other treatments. This blend can also been used on cats who are resistant to other forms of treatment for urinary problems or excessive grooming resulting from stress.

Do be aware that oils high in phenols are not appropriate for cats.

Why does Dr. Mary Hess recommend only Young Living Essential Oils?

Because she knows that not all essential oils are equal. Only therapeutic-grade essential oils are truly pure and un-adulterated. If your pet is sensitive and reacts to medications and chemical ingredients, you can be sure that inexpensive and inferior essential will not do! When you purchase 100% Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils, you know you are getting the very best for your pet's health.
