More sensitive sense of smell
Animals and essential oils is a tricky one. Animals’ sense of smell is far more sensitive than ours and therefore use of oils should be limited and controlled. Some oils are considered toxic for animals.
Keep the area ventilated
It is recommended to keep the area well-ventilated and allow the animals the opportunity for easy exit if they do not like the smell.
When to act
If there is ever a negative reaction or unusual behaviour from the pet, then you should stop use immediately. Just as in humans, animals can react differently to the same oil.”
Size
I would like to add that animals are also much smaller than we are – so if we bear in mind that some medications are worked out per body weight, it would be logical to bear that in mind for animals as well.
I recommend that you look up some articles on the internet, and/or consult your vet if in doubt.
