There is a lot of information on the internet being misconstrued around the use of essential oils with pets. While we absolutely agree that essential oils have the potential to be dangerous and toxic for pets, this is also the case for humans if safe practices are not followed.
When it comes to diffusing essential oils, we do not believe there are any essential oils in our Zea Essentials range you should actively avoid. Instead, we have four general rules we recommend to our customers. They are as follows:
- Avoid continuously running the diffuser all day and all night.
- Ensure the room is well-ventilated with fresh air
- Ensure your pet can leave the area that is being diffused if need be
- Observe your pets response to new scents when trying an oil for the first time
As for ingestion and undiluted topical application of essential oils, we do not recommend or encourage either of these methods of use on pets. The most common risks that are involving the use of essential oils with pets, and in particular cats, come from the unsafe topical application of high doses of essential oils.
