Many pet-raising families want to create an atmosphere through aromatherapy, but are worried about harming their pets’ health. Veterinarians remind that pets are highly sensitive to some aromatherapy ingredients, and need to be carefully screened before use to avoid poisoning risks.

It is reported that ingredients such as tea tree oil, peppermint oil and eucalyptus oil are toxic to cats and dogs, which may cause vomiting, diarrhea, listlessness, and even damage the nervous system in severe cases.

Ingredients such as lavender and chamomile are relatively mild, and moderate use is not easy to cause discomfort, but ventilation still needs to be maintained.

Experts suggest that pet-raising families prioritize reed diffusers to avoid harmful substances from open flames and high-temperature volatilization; control the duration when using, no more than 1 hour each time, and keep away from pet activity areas.

If pets have symptoms such as sneezing and loss of appetite, stop using immediately and seek medical attention in time. At the same time, you can consult the brand whether there is a “pet-friendly” certification when purchasing to ensure product safety.
