My dog ate Myrrh, Peppermint, Fleabane essential oils. Are they toxic?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 12 lbs

So My dog might have ate an essential oil blend. The cap wasn't off when I got the bottle out of her mouth. However I want to make sure she doesn't get sick. After some research the blend had Myrrh, Pepermint, Canadian Fleabane (Conyza), Idah Balsam Fir, and Frankinscense essential oils. Are any of these toxic?

Thank you for posting more information on the essential oil blend! From what I can find, it appears that the essential oil in that blend does not contain any toxic oils for dogs. The fact that the cap was still on the bottle makes it more likely Rosie didn't ingest any of the oil. Hopefully she should be just fine, but if you do notice vomiting, anorexia, nervousness, lethargy, tremors, or any other strange symptoms, have her seen by a vet right away. In the future, make sure that Rosie has no access to any essential oils at all to be safe.
