CAN ESSENTIAL OILS BE USED ON CATS?
Yes, Young Living oils CAN be used on cats.
The reason that rumors about essential oils were started (about them being toxic to cats) is because normally essential oils are not completely pure in their final state. Either the company has grown it with chemicals, not in virgin soil, has harvested them wrong, or heat distilled. Even carrier oils that they use tohelp created more quantity and get a way from the quality of the oils is another reason for toxicity in cats. It is not the oil itself that is toxic but the chemicals that were in the soil, plant, or carrier oil that makes the final product to be toxic. Remember, if it is toxic to a cat, it is toxic to every living creature. It only shows up in the cat first due to their delicate systems.
I have 2 degrees in Veterinary Medicine as well as my license for a Veterinary Technician. I have studied cats my entire life and have used ONLY Young Living oils on cats for the past 3 years now. I am a rescuer of feral cats and kittens and I use Young Living oils on all of my cats (23 of them at this current time) on a daily basis.
I am in the process of finishing a reference guide for using YLEO on animals and I have written a pamphlet on using essential oils on animals, especially cats; I hold seminars and lectures all over Michigan about this topic and I even produced a video on the subject as well (which is available on my web site
So I am not just a person off the streets saying that it is ok to use essential oils on cats. I also own a group on yahoo that focuses on using YLEO on cats (open to all animals, but specifically for cats). You can visit my website above for the address to that group, or see my signature. I also own, author, host and produce a show called The Pawz Cauze
to help educate people on using YLEO on catsas well as other animal issues. In addition to all of this,
I have been a guest on Animal
Talk Naturally 5 times to discuss this very issue. (CD copies of the 5 shows I did are available for purchase; please visit Animal Talk Naturally for more information).
As a general rule, you NEVER want to use essential oils on cats unless they are from Young Living. I NEVER recommend using any other brand nor do I support the use of any other brand of essential oils because ONLY Young Living oils are pure and properly distilled enough to use on cats. Due to their sensitive olfactory, one must always dilute the oils prior to use on a cat. The only oil I do not dilute is Lavender unless the cat is extra sensitive to smell. I watch their eyes and if they squint when I am near them with the oil, then I know it is still too strong.
I use YLEO for injuries, diseases, internal parasites, ear mites, fleas, ringworm, and all forms of mange. I use the supplements to help build up their organ systems when they are rescued and help to build their immune systems. I have also successfully eliminated FIV, FIP, and FeLV from cats and kittens that were tested positive with my version of a Kitty Raindrop Therapy as well as helped to rebuild damaged nerves and nerve endings. Plus I have helped cats suffering from Hyperthyroidism to level out their thyroid levels and help to rebuild their thyroid so that it functions properly-all without the use of manmade drugs!
The kittens I take to South Shore Animal Hospital to be adopted have been proclaimed as "in excellent health with extremely shiny coats and no indications that they were once wild". So in answer to the question proposed: YES Young Living Oils and ONLY Young Living Oils can be used on cats as long as you dilute them properly with V6 oil to keep from overpowering the cats Olfactory sensory nerves.
