Essential Oils for Dogs — Used With Intention, Not Hype

Why This Approach Is Different
I don’t treat oils as a cure-all or a trend.
I teach how to use them intentionally, minimally, and in context — always with respect for your dog’s body, sensitivity, and current health.
Calm support.
Clear education.
Real-world use that actually helps.
