RECCOMENDED USE

Preferred Method - "Self-Selection" Put a few drops onto a cotton ball or small fabric/wool dog toy or simply open the bottle and offer for your dog to take a whiff (without touching their nose to the oil). Place the scented object/cotton ball on the floor where your dog has easy access. Next, allow your dog to "self-select" by choosing the frequency of dosing or choosing to avoid. If your dog avoids the EO blend, do not force them to take it or rub it on them. If they are highly attracted to it, you can allow for them to "dose" themselves by smelling, licking or rubbing on the object as often as they wish. You may then also proceed to use the below method if your dog is a willing participant and comes towards you for additional doses/interaction with the EO blend.

• For small dogs, use 1-2 drops.
• For medium sized dogs, use 3-4 drops.
• For large-giant breed dogs, use 5-6 drops.

Massage Method Place recommended number of drops on the palm of your hand. To evenly distribute, gently rub hands together. Then pet your dog's chest or front legs with scented hands. Re-apply as needed, but no more than 4 times/day. Can be combined with body work treatments including acupressure, T-Touch or gentle massage.
