It is only in recent years that aromatherapy, or essential oil therapy, has gained substantial acceptance; this is primarily due to French veterinarians who have begun using essential oils and hydrosols in their practices. Laypeople, of course, have been enjoying great success treating animals with the very same substances for many years; for it is not just the medical professionals who can safely and effectively administer these aromatic oils. Anyone enabled with quality essential oils or hydrosols and adequate knowledge can use a plant’s most concentrated and energetic byproducts to improve the health of their animals, and treat and prevent various illnesses and common ailments. Aromatherapy is actually a science that has a much larger archive of supported scientific data than most other holistic care methods. However, most of these studies were originally published in French or German. Aromatherapy was the first natural, holistic therapy the author began using, and she relies on it as my primary form of healthcare to treat and balance all sorts of minor ailments and discomforts in the lives of her family and their pets. She has rarely needed to use any other sort of remedy to achieve the desired result. These powerful substances are the most fascinating, sensual and complex of all natural therapies–a combination that proves to be so enthralling it eventually develops into a grand passion for many.

    Holistic Aroma Therapy for Animals
    This book is well written, easy to comprehend and provides detailed information. The reading is enjoyable and very educational. I particularly appreciate the care taken to describe what makes high quality products, and why and how so many product are not truly pure or of the highest quality. I also appreciated the many excellent references and the case studies that were sited.The information is science based. Cautions for use are emphasized and described for different species. The descriptions of individual essential oils and hydrosols are excellent. There are many recipes for specific problems. This a book that I highly recommend to anyone interested in the subject regardless of their level of expertise.

    THE BEST AROMATHERAPY BOOK FOR ANIMALS!
    This is an easy-to-understand MUST have book for anyone interested in treating everyday animal maladies the safe and effective way. I have bought several books on the subject and still find myself reaching for this one first. I have lent it out so many times I bought two of them! Provides simple recipes as well as the information you need to safely develop your own!

    Awesome informative book
    I found this book to be well written with pertinent information. It has a great review of essential oils as well as hydrosols SAFE for pets. Great for anyone looking to formulate more healthful remedies for their dog or cat. Great selection of recipies. What was a bit disappointing is a lot of the resources no longer exist. Doing a search brought up tons of locals so I would say this is a definite ADD to your Library.

    Amoratherapists take note!
    A wonderful book that contains pretty much all you need to know to work with essential oils and applications/uses on animals. (You could also use some of the recipes for humans too!) Well written and researched. Easy to read and put knowledge into application. I highly recommend this for student of Aromatherapy.

    A very happy addition to my essential oils library!!
    Really interesting information on treating pets with essential oils. It was a real eye opener for me, especially in regards to treating cats. I’m so glad I read this before thinking I could treat my cat just like my dog… wow, could have been fatal! I love using hydrosols myself, so was super happy that she includes the use of hydrosols in this publication. A very happy addition to my essential oils library!!!

  7. Fantasy Author Sandy Lender

    Not for bird owners
    Out of the 221 pages in this guide to aromatherapy use for pets, about two and a half pages are devoted to use with pet birds, including chickens. Throughout the book, Kristen Leigh Bell gives credit to and attributes much of the text and information to other researchers, lining up facts for the pet owner interested in using essential oils, hydrosols or scents to relieve symptoms and/or create a healing environment for the animals in his or her care.My unease with recommending this book for companion parrot owners comes from Bell’s own wise counsel within the book. On page 22, she lists the essential oils that she recommends owners avoid using with animals. The list does not include Tea Tree; but Tea Tree oil is listed as dangerous to companion birds in section 6 of the book.Bell also takes a recipe for creating a hydrosol spritz for felines, and shows on page 191 the modification for use with small mammals, rather than giving a recipe designed for a small pet. While that may be all that’s available in aromatherapy circles for small pets at this time, I find myself uneasy with recommending the concept and state merely that the book provides the diluted recipe for small-animal pet owners. I wouldn’t include the use of the modified example for companion birds because it calls for 1/2-ounce Witch Hazel hydrosol and 1 ounce of Vodka.Bell has obviously done a good job of collecting information on the plants that give us oils and those from which we make synthetic oils, and she explains the differences clearly. The newcomer to aromatherapy may find this guide useful in walking him or her through basics of essential oil and hydrosol use for pets. I would be remiss if I didn’t add that responsible bird anatomy and the sensitivity of bird air sacs and respiratory systems before they introduce any new scent or scent delivery system into a home or aviary.

    Good reference book!
    I am relatively new to essential oils especially with respect to pets. A friend had given me one page from this book as to what not to use! I located the book on amazon ordered it and have already referred this book to others. this book has helped me help my elderly Great Dane who has arthritis etc. The language is clear and the rationale provided for what to use and how to use I find very helpful. Additional reference material is also a plue. I keep this book handy with my other people and pet remedy information. I would read more from this author!
