• Species-specific: Not all oils are safe for dogs. Avoid oils like tea tree oil and oregano, which can be toxic.
• Dilution: Essential oils are highly concentrated and must be diluted with a carrier oil, such as coconut oil or jojoba oil, before application.
• Vet consultation: Always consult with your veterinarian before using essential oils on your dog, especially if they have any underlying health conditions.

• Aromatherapy: Diffusing oils into the air can create a calming or invigorating atmosphere.
• Topical: Diluted oils can be applied directly to the skin for targeted treatment.
• Inhalation: Some oils, such as eucalyptus, can be inhaled directly from a diffuser or by placing a drop on a bandana near the dog's nose.
• Internal: Only certain oils, such as ginger and peppermint, can be ingested by dogs. Always consult with your veterinarian before giving internal oils.
