Looking to enjoy essential oils without putting your pets at risk? Some oils are safer than others when it comes to pets. Lavender, chamomile, frankincense, myrrh, and cedarwood are commonly considered pet-friendly, especially when used properly in a well-ventilated space and at low concentrations. In contrast, oils like tea tree, peppermint, citrus, clove, and eucalyptus should be avoided, as they may be harmful if inhaled or ingested by your furry friends.

If you're crafting DIY soaps at home or creating natural cleaning products using essential oils, make sure to choose pet-safe oils and dilute them well. Never apply oils directly to your pet, and store all products out of reach to avoid accidental exposure.
By selecting the right pet friendly essential oils and using them with care, you can maintain a welcoming space for both you and your pets without giving up the benefits of natural aromatics.
