Anxious Pup?

Help! My dog is so anxious! She is constantly running around, panting, barking at every little movement. When I leave, he goes into destruction mode! I don't know what to do to help him! I just want her to be calm and be able to relax.

Sound familiar?

It is probably the most common thing I hear from dog-moms and dog-dads. My first pup suffered from the worst anxiety. He would pant constantly, especially in the car. It was a 4 hour car ride from my house to my parents house and he would sit in the back panting and drooling the ENTIRE TIME. It would make my anxiety rise just trying to figure out how to make him comfortable. Boy do I wish I had oils back then!

My pup ended up passing away from stomach cancer. When I went back and told his original Vet his fate, the Vet replied, "Makes sense. He was a nervous dog. Nerves cause upset stomachs and lead to unhealthy environments." I had never put two and two together! Now, I doubt it was the exact cause, but it was likely part of the equation.

So I wanted to hop on here and share our tried and true recipe for our signature Anxious Blend Spray. Our clients just spray this on their pups bedding, couch, or drapes (for window barkers) where their pups like to be. And everyone relaxes, pup-parents included, knowing their pup is best taken care of! You can also diffuse this blend while you are away.

Calm Dog:

25 Drops Lavender

10 Drops Frankincense

10 Drops Cedarwood

5 Drops Vetiver

1 tsp Epsom Salt

Distilled Water

Glass Spray Bottle

Place the epsom salt at the bottom of the glass spray bottle (epsom salt helps the oils disperse into the water better). Then add the essential oils. (A word about quality here, we have never seen the results and purity that we have from doTerra. I only recommend using this brand on your pets as this is the only brand that puts its oils through all 11 purity and potency tests, and is completely transparent through publishing these testing results.) Fill the bottle the rest of the way with distilled water. Shake well before each use.
