WARNING: Essential Oils Dangerous for Pets, “Natural Flea Prevention” May Do More Harm. A friend of mine recently sent me an email warning me about using essential oils on Pocket.
As i posted recently, i have blended an essential oil mixture to use on Pocket to prevent fleas, ticks and mosquitos without relying on those nasty chemical treatments. I’ve been using it with good success, as an occasional neck drip but mostly as a “rub it around on her belly and tail feathers” barrier when we go hiking.
She’s had no problems, but i was also careful to dilute the essential oils i used with a lot of jojoba oil. It’s very important to remember that essential oils must ALWAYS be diluted before use, for humans and pets alike.
There are a few exceptions that can be used undiluted on occasion, but as. Please read her warning below and weigh your options carefully when choosing a flea treatment for your pet: Be very, very careful when using essential oils on Pocket. Please be careful when using any medication on yourself or your pets, natural or chemical. Also avoid clove oil like the plague: it is intensely volatile and dangerous even to humans if undiluted. Use it on your gums, carefully, but keep it away from the pups! Prevention is always the best policy: plant flea and mosquito preventing plants in your landscaping like pennyroyal and catmint, brush and pick over your pet often to see if fleas are even a problem and always be careful when using a new product on your pets as they may respond differently than you’d expect. I like to mix a carpet powder for home use that should be safe for everyone involved: a blend of 6.
I’ve also heard from a reader that you can shake salt all over your house and let it sit for a day before vacuuming.
