• Are essential oils safe to use around dogs? Is it safe to use an essential oil diffuser around dogs? Thank you!

    Hi Bonnie, thanks for your question. I recommend that you talk to your local veterinarian about this question. Essential oils can be toxic to dogs. The risk of this will depend on a few different factors including the type of diffuser being used, the oil being diffused, the proximity of your pet to the diffuser, and your pet’s overall health. Your local vet knows your pet and they will be able to talk to you about the risk to your individual pet.
