One of the most common questions I get asked about in our facebook group is: "What brand is best?" or "Which brand do YOU use, Lea?"

Sometimes it's because the person knows about the 3rd party testing I pioneered a while back which we did to discover what's really in those essential oil bottles?

"What brand is best?" was one of my first questions, too, before I found out the...

It makes me cringe to see people using essential oils on their dogs and cats without trying hydrosols first.

As a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist, I know when it's best to use essential oils, and when it makes more sense to use hydrosols.

I'll explain what hydrosols are in a minute, but they're a remedy, unlike essential oils, that are safe for dogs, cats and other small pets.

One of my pet peeves is when companies try to sell you essential oils that aren't safe like Basil, Fennel, and Nutmeg.

The steam distillation process, the most common method of turning plants into essential oils, can cause safe and even beneficial herbs to be harmful once they've gone through the distillation process and made into essential oils - and I'll let you know how to tell the difference between esse...

A lot of people struggle when it comes to using essential oils with their pets. And it's no surprise when you look at all of the unsafe information out there. I've seen recommendations for dropping essential oils into your pet's food, rubbing them into your dog's fur without diluting, and brushing your puppy's teeth with them.    It makes me cringe. None of us want to see our puppy suffering from adverse re...

It really bothers me seeing so many consumers rush into using essential oils with their dogs without doing their research, quickly leading to their four legged friends gagging, having skin reactions, liver issues and more.

None of us want that for our dogs, right? Essential oils are supposed to make our lives better!
