Aromatherapy can be an effective tool to promote well-being and calm for our furry friends. In this post, we'll look at which essential oils are best suited to help reduce stress and anxiety in dogs and cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Essential oils for relieving stress and anxiety in dogs and cats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Essential oils, extracted from plants, have properties that can be very beneficial for pets' well-being. Here are three essential oils recommended to help relieve stress and anxiety:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Valerian essential oil: <\/strong>This oil is known for its sedative properties and for increasing the activity of the neurotransmitter GABA in the brain, which has calming effects on the central nervous system. It is effective in reducing agitated behavior, such as excessive barking, howling and compulsive paw licking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lavender essential oil:<\/strong> helps preserve cognitive functions, which suffer alterations especially in elderly pets. It improves the quality of rest and sleep, helping to keep moments of rest more peaceful and restorative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ylang Ylang essential oil: <\/strong>with its sedative and relaxing effect, helps to control anxiety and promote better social interaction between pets and their owners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use essential oils safely on dogs and cats<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to remember that essential oils should never be used purely on animals. Consult a veterinarian for advice on the right amount and the correct way to apply it. Choose products specifically formulated for dogs and cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/softcare.com.br\/en\/produtos\/bem-estar\/pet-serenity\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"207\">Pet Serenity<\/a><\/u><\/strong>&nbsp;is an aromatherapy spray designed to promote relaxation and relieve anxiety in pets. With a combination of Valerian, Lavender and Ylang Ylang essential oils, this spray is ideal for helping pets adapt to new environments, living with other animals and dealing with separation anxiety syndrome. It contributes to a more restful sleep and a more harmonious interaction with people and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To use, spray Pet Serenity on the area where the animal usually stays, or on beds and blankets. It can be applied two to three times a day or as needed. Ideal for continuous use, the spray offers a long-lasting solution for the well-being of dogs and cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Want to know more about the benefits of aromatherapy for dogs and cats?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/softcare.com.br\/en\/a-aromaterapia-para-caes-e-gatos\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"667\">Click here<\/a> to explore more about how essential oils can improve your furry friend's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veterinarians can contact <a href=\"https:\/\/softcare.com.br\/en\/contato\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"21\">SAC - Customer Service<\/a>to find out more about <a href=\"https:\/\/softcare.com.br\/en\/produtos\/bem-estar\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"114\">Soft Care Wellness Line.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how aromatherapy can help reduce stress and anxiety in dogs and cats.
