Although essential oils are extracted from natural plants, it does not mean that they are absolutely safe for other animals. Family pets, such as cats and dogs, can also use essential oils for daily care appropriately, but because their sense of smell is thousands of times more sensitive than humans, extra care should be taken when using essential oils, to avoid damaging your pet’s normal sense of smell.
At present, it is internationally recognized that the use of highly pure tea tree, peppermint, pine, wintergreen, fennel, clove, garlic, thyme and other strong and irritating essential oils will affect the normal sense of smell of pets, and even cause pets to suffer from essential oil poisoning symptoms. Some mild-smelling essential oils, such as chamomile, bergamot, grapefruit, lavender, etc., can be used in pet care, but require large dilutions.
According to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, there were 443 cases of tea tree oil poisoning in cats and dogs between 2002-2012, it should be more than that amount till now. The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) based on the chemical reaction principle of substances, and with reference to rare toxicity case reports, learned that the root cause of pet essential oil poisoning is the lack of a glucuronyl transferase in pets, which cannot volatilize high-purity essential oils. The chemical substances “terpenes” are metabolized, and these substances are insoluble in water and therefore cannot be excreted from the animal body, resulting in poisoning.
The main symptoms of poisoning are: listlessness, lethargy, coma, unsteady gait, weakness, tremor, seizures, drooling, diarrhea, vomiting, sneezing, difficulty breathing, coughing, watery eyes, hypothermia, liver failure and death, etc. . In daily care, you can consider using a derivative product of essential oil—hydrosol instead. Hydrosol retains part of the efficacy of essential oil well, and at the same time can add moisture to pets, and has the effect of moisturizing and nursing.
If so, how can we safely use essential oils if we have pets at home? Here are a few suggestions:
