oh
hey everybody this is rebecca tetilo
with aroma hut institute and look who
is here tanner come here tanner
come here he's our essential oil dog
he's here today because we are going to
be making some products
essential oils for dogs is a great way to
use your oils
and for this spray today we want to make
something for bugs well
we say bugs because it will help keep
away other
pests but primarily the ones we're
concerned with
is fleas and ticks is that right and it seems to
be a year-round problem for us down here
in the south because it never gets cold
enough for them to die and so they go in
cycles as you know and i'm sure you've
already probably googled and looked for
a lot of things online to find
something to help you get rid of fleas
naturally
i mean you know if we use essential oils on
us we think hey why can't we use them on
our pets
and you can to a certain point we want
to make sure these are extremely diluted
they should not be more than one percent
for what we're going to be using
one to three percent is normal dilution
rate
for dogs that are less than 10 weeks old
you want to
wait until they're older so about three
months is about a good time to
use the oils around the pet now for the
most part
it would be hydrosols hydrosols would be
a diluted form
of a floral water it is the byproduct of
an essential distillation and so
that way we're using something that's
very very diluted
and it's really going to be up to the
pet whether or not they like it
now these are very potent and strong
fragrances so a lot of times they just
don't want to get around them
this way that would repel the bugs so
we're going to be using in this blend
lavender essential oil cedarwood
essential oil geranium can you imagine
and eucalyptus now that would keep away
a lot of things i can imagine
but i think this will be really nice
we're also going to be adding in
apple cider vinegar and dish soap
to help keep the fleas away as well as
we have our distilled water and again
you could use a carrier oil if you
prefer that remember this
is a blend that is for primarily for
dogs
we have another video that we made for
cats which is a fleece spray
and so go to that video up there if you
will
check that one out because this one is
just for the dogs this time
okay so we're going to let rachel do the
blending here
i'm going to start with the glass 2
ounce
size so let's start with the lavender
and this one we're going to use
15 drops of lavender and
15 drops of cedarwood
now you could try to see how your
pet likes these before making this blend
because i know this is a lot of drops
so you might want to just put one drop
on your palm rub it in
and just let them smell it so this
allows the pet to choose whether or not
they want this
oil on them or around them
whenever you're diffusing essentials you
also want to make sure that
doors are open windows opener you know
where they can get away
from the smell if it's too strong
because if it's overwhelming
it could do a lot of harm we don't want
to do that let's see what else do we
have we have
five drops of geranium wow
that oil is so powerful this one is
oh i could see why bugs would stay away
and then we're gonna use eucalyptus
another powerful
gee i might have to use this one around
the house spray around because we had
had some ants taken over all right so
let's go ahead and put in
our apple cider vinegar one tablespoon
this smells strong oh yeah
definitely keep the bugs away yeah
use a drop of the soap
just any kind of dawn or something else
and then we're going to fill the
remaining space with
our carrier which is going to be the
distilled water
we have literally been diffusing
a diffuser right under the air
conditioned vent
because we the ants were coming in from
the ceiling
and they're coming in by the thousands
they're taking over so we started
diffusing
and we were using peppermint lemon
cedarwood it worked
got rid of the ants we found them all
did all over the room
we've been cleaning up ants for three
days
tanner we we need to check this one we
gotta see
tana likes it he said no i am not coming
in there
i know what you're doing can you trick
me again
huh not sure hey maybe he doesn't mind
this one too much
right so we got a nice blend there so
this
is essential oils for dogs it's a great
bug
blend that you can use to keep the fleas
away and also use around the house
i hope this helps i hope you've enjoyed
