It has also been used to treat ear mites as well as hair mites, which can cause mange.

ROAD TRIP (with your pet)!! : Never leave home without these tips
This is our first guest blog by our daughter, Olivia Stanley, who we are passing the torch to someday, and boy is she an adventurer at heart! So her tips here are valuable. No one I know has done more traveling with their dog (for fun) that I know. Are you embarking on a vacation with your furry friend and feeling a bit concerned about how to navigate this adventure? How about the things that can “make or break” the
Baby, it’s cold outside: Dog Sweaters and Coats –a ‘no’ or a ‘go?’
I would not be writing this blog if we didn’t have LABRADORS! Coats and sweaters are GREAT if you have a short-haired or toy breed of dog.

I also found the latest article about a 7-foot long peacock being denied entry to an airplane recently both hilarious but disturbing. In my mind (yes it works this way
SO WHY ALL THE NEGATIVITY ABOUT ESSENTIAL OILS IN THE PRESS/ MEDICAL FIELD?
