A Single Drop

When it comes to our aging pets, there’s always more to learn—and I believe staying current is part of giving them the best support possible. 🌿

Tonight, I’m attending another online workshop on natural approaches to arthritis and inflammation in pets. I’ve taken classes on these topics before, but I enjoy continuing my education, refreshing what I already know, and staying open to new information, perspectives, and approaches.

The three essential oils I’m holding in this photo are some interesting options to have in a natural pet wellness toolkit, but there is so much more to natural pet care than essential oils! 🌿

As our pets age, I’m always interested in learning about different ways we can support their mobility, comfort, vitality, and overall quality of life.

I also believe strongly that every pet is an individual. What may be appropriate for one pet may not be the right choice for another. That’s why I work with my clients individually—whether we're creating a daily wellness protocol or doing a more in-depth consultation—to help determine what may be appropriate for their unique pet.

Continuing education is something I’m committed to because I want to keep growing, keep learning, and keep bringing valuable information to the pet parents I work with. 💚

🐶🐱 Do you have an aging pet?

Have you noticed changes in their movement or concerns about arthritis as they get older?

What are you currently doing to support them?

And would you be interested in exploring natural options beyond essential oils as part of your pet’s wellness toolkit?

I’d love to hear what you’re doing for your aging pets! 🐾💚

Random Saturday night. Stormy weather rolling in. And here I am with my essential oil toolkit because one of my pups has been licking his back leg like crazy all day. 🐾 😒

Unfortunately, all that licking has turned into a raw spot, so the cone went on… and out came the toolkit. 🌿 🌺

I whipped up a quick cooling spray with ingredients I already had on hand and tucked it into the refrigerator so it’s nice and cool when I apply it. I’ll be using it a few times throughout the next few days in hopes of helping soothe the area and, most importantly, giving him some relief from that incessant licking.

This is one of those moments when I’m especially grateful for my knowledge of animal aromatherapy and natural wellness. I love being able to reach for natural solutions and supportive care first whenever appropriate, rather than immediately reaching for medication.

Now we wait and see how he does over the next few days.

Just another Saturday night in my house… stormy weather, a cone, an essential oil toolkit, and a whole lot of love. 🌿 🐾 ❤️

Spent some time at the barn today and got to watch the farrier work her magic—trimming hooves, working on the horses’ feet, and giving some of them brand-new shoes. 🐴❤️ She comes out about every five weeks, and I’m not always there on the days she’s at the barn, so it was nice to catch up, say hi, and chat while she worked. I loved hearing about some of the things she’s been dealing with lately and what she’s been seeing with horses at other barns. I always love learning more about horse care topics!
