25 Common Essential Oils and Their Uses For Dogs
Consider These Essential Oils To Get Started!
There are many essential oils. Singles and blends. It’s very difficult to narrow down a list to just a few. But people often wonder where to start.
Adding a couple of essential oils to your collection at a time is a budget-friendly way to begin.
Remember that a 15ml bottle of essential oil generally has about 270 drops of oil in the bottle. Why do I say “about”? Because essential oils have different viscosities (thickness) and may vary the # of drops in the bottle. So a single bottle will likely last you a very long time if you’re only using 1-2 drops a day topically or 5-6 drops in the diffuser!
