Cat Health & Safety

Please be careful if you use essential oils on yourself or in your home. Not only can the strong aromas of undiluted essential oils cause respiratory irritation and breathing problems for your cat, but if a concentrated oil gets on their skin or in their mouth — as can happen when a cat walks through a spill and when a cat grooms it off themselves — they can wind up with significant skin and tongue burns, as well as internal organ damage. If you plan to use any essential oils around your cat, do so only in very diluted concentrations and check with your vet first.
