Just like applying oils to your babies, we want to always dilute our oils with our pets. Based on information by Dr. Janet Roark, here is a simple dilution percentage to follow.
Cats: 0.5% - 2% (1- 4 drops per 10ml of carrier oil)
Rabbits and other small Rodents and Reptiles: 0.5% - 1% (1-2 drops per 10ml of carrier oil)
Dogs: 0.5% for hot oils and for dogs under 20 lbs/ 9 kg, use up to 3% for gentle oils with larger dogs (1- 6 drops per 10ml of carrier oil)
Goats or Sheep: 2% - 10% for hot oils - gentle oils may be used undiluted (1- 20 drops per 10ml of carrier oil)
Horses: 5%-10% for hot oils with sensitive-skinned horses, otherwise undiluted (10- 20 drops per 10ml of carrier oil)
Remember, each animal is an individual, and your pet may be more or less sensitive than others. Observe their behavior – they will tell you❗
