We went to Florida for the holidays and left our dog, Max with our trusted dog sitter. A few days into the holiday she called me and said Max was scratching and biting a raw spot on his inner leg and seemed to be very agitated. . Missing his Mom, I was sure! We'd faced this problem before. Max is a scratcher if he gets nervous, or their are weeds and pollens that set his skin crawling. I asked her to apply lavender essential oil straight on the raw spot and around it.
Lavender essential oil does mulitple duty in this case:
1. Heals the broken skin.
2. Soothe itchy skin.
3. Soothe nervous, agitated feelings.
4. Repel any insects, fleas, ticks, etc.
5. The strong pungent taste of lavender oil prevents further licking and biting.
Later that day, our dog sitter reported that Max had left the spot alone, and by the time we returned the spot had healed.
Makes me wonder if we should launch a line of pet products!
For the Love of Lavender, Rebecca
