Are essential oil diffusers safe for dogs? What scents are safe?

Question

I recently received an essential oil diffuser as a gift. I'd it safe to use with a dog in the house? Are there certain scents that are harmful to dogs and certain scents that are safe to use? Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Pinscher | Male | neutered | 2 years and 1 month old | 12 lbs

This should be completely safe for use in your household. The only contraindications would be if your dog has any respiratory issues like inflammatory airway disease, allergies, tracheitis or a collapsing trachea. Any frangrance should be safe as well. Just keep in mind that dogs do have exceptional noses so they may be more sensitive to the odors and so if you find one scent overpowering they may as well. I hope this helps.
