Hello. I would be very hesitant to recommend any product containing essential oils be used on dogs, but if a very light wipe was used, avoiding any areas easily reached by the dog licking, then occasional use should be fine. Just do not go heavy at all. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
