Question for those who use this oil on their dogs. Do you dilute it ( how) or undiluted? On their collars or skin? Thanks

I understood you put it on their skin between the shoulders and back above their tail. I haven,t tried it yet because I need to get a dropper. I thought one came with the bottle.

I put it between their collarbone and tip of tail. Did not dilute. Works great! When swimming, reapply.

I did not dilute it and I put a few drops on the inside of the collar. Seems to work, she did not have a tick after I used it.

I use it without diluting. Just one drop between the shoulder blades and another at the end of the back, just before the tail. For small dogs you should only use one drop. If you dilute it it shouldn't diminish its effectiveness so if you feel more comfortable you can do that as well.

I dilute my essential oils in many different carrier oils. The only differences are some carrier oils have a slight scent but I use coconut oil so often on my skin and hair for its many benefits that I don't have a problem with the slight coconut smell altering the scent of the Thieves oil.

I'm unfamiliar with hemp oil, but I am very pleased with how our pets are doing on this pollock oil. We have four Westies, a breed known for its skin problems, but ours have healthy skin and shiny coats. Hope that endorsement helps in some way.

I don't dilute it, I paint it directly on with a fan brush and leave it on for as long as I can stand it. When I first started using it, that was one minute or so. Now my skin can handle leaving it on for 3 or 4 minutes. Then rinse it off with really cold water until it doesn't burn anymore, and I usually put a cold washcloth in the freezer for a few minutes and hold that on my face afterwards too.

Hi Richard, Our Rosemary Essential Oil is truly pure and undiluted. And because it is soconcentrated, the components of the oil makes it unsuitable for flavoring.Thank you for inquiring!

Most essential oils should never be used on the skin undiluted. To use as a perfume, they should be combined with "carrier oils" (like almond oil), waxes, butters, alcohols, or other diluting media. Because they're so concentrated, if you use them without diluting, they can irritate the skin (with some exceptions, like tea trea and some others). But it's very easy to mix this oil with a medium and use it as perfume - the internet is full of recipes. I put this in homemade lotion, and it smells great.

I think if you can dilute it correctly, you'll be ok. It's a very, very strong oil, so it def needs the correct ratio of carrier oil to this. Plant therapy has a dilution chart here: http://essentialoilblogging.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/plant-therapy-dilution-guide.jpg

Please, please, please do not. Tea tree oil is highly toxic in even small doses when ingested for *humans*. Dogs are even smaller in size (obviously), and are therefore even more vulnerable to tea tree oil toxicity. In fact, it's best to keep tea tree oil away from coming into contact on dog's skin regardless of whether or not they can directly lick that part of their bodies; skin is the largest organ that absorbs "stuff", and it's no different for dogs.

No, never use them undiluted on the skin. You can mix with a carrier oil to dilute them if you want to apply to the skin.

~I know its good for skin and coat in general. Essential Fatty Oils will over some months bring health to the skin. So your dog should feel more comfortable with less dry skin, and healthier coat. This is a good product, very large amount & will last a long time. Its important for dogs, cats, and humans to have Essential Fatty Oils in their diet anyway. XO I also give my dog Coconut Oil (extra virgin)... I give my dog coconut oil, a spoonful daily on food, and I also rub it on her skin. If your dog as problem areas of skin, or dry areas, or rashes, the coconut oil will soothe it. Very healthy for them to take BOTH these oils daily. I give them to my cats too !

Either or. To stretch it out to make it last longer use a carrier. This is a safe oil to use without dilution, however it just depends on the sensitivity of your skin, as it does have a cooling effect.

My understanding is yes, it can be used on dogs, because it is already mixed with a "base", in this case, fractionated coconut oil. All essential oils MUST be mixed with a base for dogs (and in some cases, humans) because the oil itself is so powerful. HOWEVER, you can also apply this or any other essential oil to your dog's collar, which I do. (Lemon and geranium oils work great for mosquito repellent for dogs, too.)

I usually get the salmon oil and have not recieved this yet (comes tomorrow- recycled my old bottle last trash day). I noted that some others responded to similar questions on the product site in Amazon. I think my dogs like the salmon oil better but I like to switch it up alittle. They love both.

I have never diluted it but just used a few drops here and there. I think if you go on the website for the actual product there was info on how to dilute it. The product worked well for me in my back yard with just a few drops placed on skin.

I use a carrier oil... Because I think it is otherwise too strong for my personal choice.. I use coconut oil.4or 5 drops of balance to a tablespoon of carrier oil.I think it is also recommend on the website.But your personal choice as well. I love it.

You may use fractionated coconut oil or just coconut oil to dilute any essential oil. If you post your question on google, you will find many websites addressing this, but here is one link that is helpful. http://www.everythingessential.me/Hints/CarrierOils.html
