I love essential Oils but that doesn't mean my pets do!

So although many of us LOVE our essential oils as a great way to keep the house smelling good but also provide a natural way to help control that which ails us it could have a negative effect on our animals.  There are many oils the are toxic to both cats and dogs. The ASPCA has put out a notice about using essential oils and their affects and snopes as confirmed that it is true that essential oils can have a terrible affect on our animals and can even cause death. So I have found a list of the most  common oils that are toxic to our Cats and Dogs.

For dogs:

• Clove
• Garlic
• Juniper
• Rosemary
• Tea Tree
• Thyme
• Wintergreen

 For cats

• Cassia
• Cinnamon
• Citrus
• Clove
• Eucalyptus
• Lemon
• Lavender
• Peppermint
• Spruce
• Tea Tree
• Thyme

Adverse reactions to oils include squinting, excessive drooling, scratching, increased breathing rate and lethargy.

• If a pet accidentally ingests essential oils, you should call your veterinary office or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center.

 The ASPCA recommends that if you are using a diffuser to remove your pet from that room while you are using it  As a person who both promotes essential oils and loves my animals I feel it is my duty to ensure you are informed in these matters.
