Great question! There are a number of essential oils that are safe to use around dogs, and I've included a website below that lists them out. Please keep in mind that if you have a cat as well, they are much more sensitive to essential oils and the ones on this list may not be sure to use around your cat. http://www.usingeossafely.com/is-it-safe-to-use-essential-oils-with-dogs/
