I recently came across the book Aromatherapy For Dogs by Tracey Peapell. When I first read the title of this book I thought ‘how the heck can I use Aromatherapy for my dog?’ ‘Do you light an oil burner and get your dog to sniff it?’ Crazy I know so I was intrigued. Turns out there are many ways your dog can benefit from the power of Aromatherapy. What is Aromatherapy anyway? Well the author explains it in very simple terms along with a brief explanation of how essential oils are extracted from plants and flowers. This book is a very easy, informative and educational read with pictures throughout. It teaches you blends you can mix yourself to alleviate conditions like arthritis and rheumatism, fleas, ticks, skin problems, bad breath, anxiety and nervousness and many more.

Along with those aromatherapy tips there are blends to improve your dogs coat, stop lethargy and boost your dogs energy levels. There are also blends to simply rid your carpet and dog bedding from that all too familiar ‘doggy’ smell. Not all oils are good for dogs and the book covers those to avoid. The author also shares her own and her friends experiences with aromatherapy making it a very entertaining read. All in all, a good concise 39 page book packed with ideas to improve the health and happiness of your dog. Have a look for yourself here.
