i use aromatherapy for my 4-legged family, and highly recommend it. however, a word of caution: dogs' and cats' livers process out the essential oils more slowly than human livers, so not good to use every day, more like ever 2-3 days, and for just a few applications then a few days off. essential oils are efficacious and POTENT. use with care.
