i put about 3 drops of lavender oil and 4 drops of tea tree oil in about 1 cup of olive oil and 1 cup of water and mixed it all together. then i brushed it on her. now she's licking it off. can that hurt her?


i was trying to kick some flea butt, but now i'm all worried that it's gonna hurt her.Could tea tree oil and lavender oil hurt my dog if she licks them off of herself?
At the amount you used on her it will not harm her, both lavender and tea trea can be used internally. Of course since essential oils are highly concentrated they are not recommended to be used internally.Could tea tree oil and lavender oil hurt my dog if she licks them off of herself?
i highly doubt it will


they are very natural ingredients


if you are very scared call a vet and just ask over the phone
It might give her the runs as dogs do not generally eat high fat content foods, or she might throw up. That would be the worst though, none of those items are toxic in the long-term. They just might upset her digestion.





I understand the reluctance to use most commercial flea treatments as they are toxic. I would suggest you talk to your vet about an organic flea treatment such as FleaFree or various others if you are looking for a non-toxic (and effective) flea treatment. Try this site:

cider vinegar or garlic will give u better results..i dont use the vet stuff ...waste of time mix equal parts of cider vinegar(also known as apple cider vinegar)and water in a spray bottle and spray the animal it will kill the fleas on contact , can b used daily, grlic can b crushed in the dinner to kill any infestation from inside the body and can be rubbed over the animal on a daily basis, again killing on contact ..tea tree oil can actually paralise a dog so id steer clear of that xxx
That's not going to help with the fleas. Apply some Advantage, Frontline, or Vectra to kick flea butt. Lavender oil can be harsh on the digestive system, and even on your skin if it's not diluted in a carrier oil, like almond oil. Tea tree oil is very nasty tasting but I'm not positive of its effects on the body when ingested. Call your vet ASAP. She may need treatment.


EDIT: Advantage, Frontline, and Vectra have been tested and are not toxic. (Vectra is toxic to cats, though. Don't apply it to a cat ever.)
