Fireworks + Axious Pets: Tips for the 4th!

Sparklers 💥 are my favorite firework! 🎇 Though as a kid I didn't realize how dangerous waving around a burning hot piece of metal can be.... I also like snaps, glo-worms and the big professional fireworks that are all sparkly!

Our dog 🐶 Daisy doesn't show a lot of anxiety during noisy holidays like the 4th or NYE, but many pets do and it can stressful and even dangerous for them (if they run away). 😢

One of the simplest and best ways to care for your nervous pet is by using Young Living essential oils. Introduce oils to your pet slowly.

1- Apply essential oils to your skin or clothing and let your pet check it out at his or her own pace.
2- Pet your dog with a few drops of essential oil on your hands.
3- Diffuse essential oils in an open space that your pet can enter or exit freely.

Suggestions for anxiety from the Essential Oils Animal Desk Reference:
- Apply Lavender, Cedarwood or Frankincense to the tips of ear, crown of skull, base of skull and along spine as needed.
- Apply 1-4 drops Stress AWay and Peace & Calming over the front paws twice daily or as needed.
- Pet your dog with a few drops of White Angelica in your hand.

Diffuse: Lavender + Cedarwood, Peace & Calming, Stress Away, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Valor, or Sacred Frankincense.
