doTERRA Essential Oils For Cats

written by meowpassion September 7, 2019
doTERRA Essential Oils For Cats

We have been inspired to write an article on essential oils for cats by Lisa Powers, who is the organiser of a course in her Facebook group. In this article we will be talking about essential oils by Doterra, although we are doing our research on the best essential oils for cats and diffusers, and the blog post will be published soon. So stay tuned!


Cats and doTERRA essential oils

Pets metabolise essential oils differently than humans, so if you decide to use this gift of nature in your apartment, for yourself, your family, or for your furry friend, you should be sure that the essential oils are of the best quality. It means the essential oils cannot be synthetic, diluted with chemicals, and not tested at all.

If you wish to know more on how to check whether a product you are going to buy is a 100% pure essential oil, and is really the best quality, we recommend watching a Free Aromatherapy Using Essential Oils Introductory Course by Mark Perren-Jones on Udemy. From the course you will also find out about blending basics, notes on blending, blending tips, and more.

doTERRA was launched 10 years ago, and today  it is the world’s leading essential oil company, and they are known for their passion for a higher standard. As the company says on their official website their mission is to share therapeutic-grade essential oils with the world.


Frankincense oil for cats by doTERRA

do TERRA essential oils for cats doterra

Historically this oil is used as a holy oil, and it is applied topically, internally, or aromatically for cats. When you use the oil for the first time, remember to observe your cat’s behavior for the first 15-20 minutes, and leave your room door open so your pet can move freely. When you introduce new oil to your pet, do it SLOWLY, start from a smaller amount, and use guidelines as though for an infant. Before using any essential oils for your pets, you should consult with a vet, know your kitty’s health history, and use only Therapeutic Grade Essential oils.

Frankincense oil has been used widely on animals, has a wide margin of safety, and can even be applied on newborn kittens. It can be used for small and big cats, and can be applied topically, aromatically, or internally. The oil plays the role of an enhancer, and can be combined with other essential oils such as Myrrh or Lavender.

Frankincense oil is helpful:

  • for post-surgery recovery;
  • for relaxation, to help with negative feelings;
  • to promote a healthy nervous system;
  • to maintain healthy skin;

Topical application, recipe by Lisa Powers:
1 tsp. carrier oil to 1 drop of Essential Oil for cats under 20 pounds
