Essential Oils Help Yellow Lab
We have a 5 1/2 year old yellow lab. He joined our family at 5 months of age and was suffering from chronic itching and paw chewing. He arrived 
with a supply of prednisone. We promptly weaned him off of it and began what has been a very long and frustrating investigation into what might be causing his condition. We have taken him to see 3 different veterinarians. Two recommended putting him back on drugs and one suggested that we look into his food and what ingredients he might be allergic to. At this point, we had already been doing that with the help from the people at Bridger Feeds. After trying at least 12 different dog foods over the years (all of them the top of the line and most expensive) he was still chewing on his paws. Hi body scratching wasn’t as bad but the chewing of the paws was a constant, driving him and us crazy! After hours of my husband researching the Internet, we decided to try a very low protein dog food put out by Hills Science Diet, which is recommended for allergic conditions. After being on it for two months his chewing abated some but it was still daily.
FINALLY, (duh) the thought occurred to me to try my oils! I used a blend of tea tree, lavender and Spice of Life oils mixed with carrier oil. I was not at all scientific about measuring it. I just went by what felt right although I did use at least 3x more of the tea tree to the other two oils. I applied it to all of his paws with a Q-tip every day for 5 days. We saw an immediate improvement and within 2 days he wasn’t chewing on his paws at all!!! It has been over two weeks and he hasn’t touched his feet once! We still don’t know what the cause is or was but I call that a miracle.
We are hoping to get him back on a higher protein food as he is a very active and energetic boy and live our days itch and stress free.
Living in gratitude and keeping my fingers crossed,
