Lavender has become my go-to essential oil for both me and my pug, Boq. When he was stung by a bee and his mouth swelled, I applied Lavender to his ear tips and let him breathe it in. It helped calm him quickly, and I took him to the vet right afterward for care.
For his first plane ride, a little Lavender on his spine and paws kept him relaxed the entire trip. And when he started losing hair after getting fleas at the dog park, one drop of Lavender on the thinning spots helped his coat begin to grow back within a week.
Lavender has truly supported Boq in so many meaningful ways — it’s a staple in our home.
