What Are Carrier Oils?
Before we dive into the world of essential oils and coco-nutty bliss, let's get the 411 on carrier oils! These veggie-based oils, aka base oils, will be your skincare's ultimate ride-or-die. They mix with essential oils to pamper your skin without causing a fuss. Carrier oils help your favorite scents go the distance, making them easier to apply to the body and fabulously long-lasting, all the while minimizing potential skin reactions.
From sources like seeds and nuts, carrier oil varieties like coconut, almond, grapeseed (great for acne prone skin), apricot, and jojoba oil embrace the spotlight. For more info about other carrier oils and what they can do for your skin, click HERE, otherwise read on as I highlight my fave, the fabulous coconut oil.
What Is Coconut Oil?
Coconut oil is one of the most popular carrier oils on the market today - and for good reason! It is rich in vitamins E and K as well as medium chain fatty acids including lauric acid which can help fight bacteria and fungus while moisturizing the skin. In this review published on PubMed, "fatty-acid components of vegetable oils are assumed to play a major role in the wound-healing process". Coconut oil can benefit your skin care without even adding essential oils! You can mix any essential oil you'd like with coconut oil. Frankincense, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Rosemary, even Oregano essential oil, to name just a few.
Lucky for us, in the world of coconut oil – we've got two fabulous variants to pick from.
First up, we have our star, the unrefined (virgin) coconut oil, perfect for creams, salves, and even your horse's hooves! (to read more about that, click HERE)With its minimal processing and delightful coconut aroma, it brings a tropical twist to any recipe as well as skin nourishing benefits. You can even use it to deeply moisturize your hair.
Now, for those moments when you need a lighter touch, enter the fantastic fractionated coconut oil! This magical liquid is created through steam-distillation of mature coconut oil - no grease, aroma, or stickiness here! It's processed so that it stays liquid 100% of the time. With its quick skin-absorption powers, it's ideal for roller bottles, massage rubs, aromatherapy recipes, and more.
How To Dilute Essential Oils With Coconut Oil
Ready for a whirlwind adventure into the world of essential oils? Then grab your trusty sidekick, coconut oil, and let's get mixin'! All you need to do is add your essential oils to your coconut oil. It really is that simple, grab a bowl, add some coconut oil, and add some essential oils. But hold on, don't go crazy – we've got our fur friends to consider. Plus, our noble steeds need some oil love too! Dilution rates can depend on where you're at in your oil journey, who you're applying them to, and the health and well being of the individual.
When you're just getting started, add 1-2 drops of essential oil per teaspoon of coconut oil, and if your senses dare for more, crank it up to 3-4 drops. But remember, easy does it, partner! We only want to use the amount of essential oils we need and too much can lead to irritation or sensitivity, so take it slow and enjoy the journey! Since essential oils are absorbed very quickly into the body, it's better to use smaller amounts more frequently.
Once you're more familiar with essential oils, try making a roller bottle. Making a roller bottle is super easy! Simply grab some 10 ml roller bottles from Amazon, add around 10-20 drops of essential oil, and fill the rest of the way up with fractionated coconut oil. For a step by step guide, click HERE.
Get ready to be amazed by how easy it is to use essential oils with a carrier oil like coconut! This magical mix makes using essential oils a breeze, while pampering your skin with extra nourishment and shield. So go ahead, dive into the uses of essential oils with coconut oil, and let your senses savor this delightful experience-you'll be hooked!

Are you struggling to maintain a fresh and clean-smelling home due to persistent pet odors? Don't worry, you're not alone! Every pet owner comes across this issue at some point, but fortunately, there are simple steps you can take and DIY's you can make, to help eliminate pet odor. In this blog post, I'll share a host of quick, natural, and safe tips to eliminate pets odor from your living space. So, let's dive right in and make your home smell amazing once again!
The basics: understanding pet odor
Before we talk about how to eliminate pet odors, it's essential to know what causes them. Pet odors can originate from various sources, including pet fur, dander, saliva, urine, feces, and even poor hygiene. These odors then become a part of your home, settling into carpets, furniture, and other surfaces, making it challenging to remove them completely. If your dog has an excessive odor, check in with your veterinarian as that's not normal. Skin issues and dental issues may need to be addressed.
Preventing pet odors in carpets and furniture
Being proactive and preventing pet odors from settling into your home is the first step towards maintaining a fresh and clean environment. You'll want to regularly (as in at least once per week):
-wash your pets toys, bowls, collars, and leashes.
-vacuum
-mop
Don't forget about your pets favorite spots, such as stairs or closets.
Use slipcovers on furniture that can be easily removed and washed. Also buy pet beds that have a washable cover. Try adding a pet odor neutralizer to your carpet before vacuuming.
For an easy DIY pet odor eliminator for carpets, use baking soda. I like to add Lemon essential oil. Simply add 15 drops of essential oil to 1 cup of baking soda. Sprinkle on carpet and let sit at least 10 minutes or even overnight for really tough odors. Then vacuum up. Occasional deep cleaning of carpets and steam cleaning furniture can greatly contribute to maintaining a fresh and pleasant home environment.
Regularly bathing your dog is helpful. For times when you can't bathe, use a pet deodorizer. This DIY dry shampoo is helpful. Grab the recipe HERE
You can also make easy DIY pet wipes and wipe your dogs coat and paws when they come in from outside, get the recipe HERE
Ensuring an odor-free litter box for your cat can also help prevent the accumulation of unpleasant smells. Scoop your letterbox daily, completely change out the litter and wash the box weekly, and consider a layer of baking soda underneath the litter. You can also make an essential oil kitty litter deodorizer by adding 5 drops of essential oil to a cup of baking soda and sprinkling in the bottom of the litter box. Use a pure and premium essential oil, I like Lavender.
DIY pet odor removers
There is a wide range of DIY pet odor removers and cleaners, utilizing everyday household items, including baking soda, vinegar, citrus, and hydrogen peroxide. Head to this blog to find out what needs to be on your shopping list for natural home cleaning. The addition of essential oils can help neutralize pet odor and give your home a fresh and clean aroma.
For hard surfaces, a mixture of water, hydrogen peroxide, and lemon juice can be used to clean and eliminate odors. Citrus can be a natural enzymatic neutralizer.
Enzymatic Surface Cleaner
1 cup hydrogen peroxide
2 cups water
1/4 cup lemon juice

This is my favorite pet urine remover DIY:
Pet Urine Remover
2 cups water
2 tablespoons of liquid Castile soap
15 drops lemongrass essential oil
15 drops cinnamon essential oil
Freshening the air naturally
DIY air fresheners are easy to make and cost effective. They are also safer than chemical laden air fresheners or plug ins that you can buy. All you really need is baking soda and essential oils. And yes, pure essential oils diluted as an air freshener can be safe for your dog and cats! To grab a quick and easy recipe for a DIY air freshener using baking soda, click HERE
To eliminate pet odors in the air naturally, try using essential oils in a diffuser, such as lavender or lemon. These natural fragrances can be beneficial in neutralizing unpleasant smells and promoting a clean environment.
Investing in an essential oil diffuser is an easy and cost effective way to neutralize odors. Using an ultrasonic diffuser dilutes the essential oil, keeping it safe for your dog. To read more about safely diffusing essential oils with your dogs, click HERE.
Diffusing 2 drops of lemongrass essential oil and 2 drops of cinnamon essential oil in a diffuser can be a powerful urine odor eliminator.
Additional tips for eliminating pet odors
Beyond the standard cleaning methods and DIY solutions, there are a few extra tips to consider. For instance, using an air purifier to filter out pet dander and other airborne particles can significantly reduce pet odors. If the weather permits, open up windows regularly and air out the house. Opening windows to improve airflow and allow fresh air to circulate in your home regularly is a must.
Additionally, placing DIY air fresheners in common odor hotspots such as the vicinity of litter boxes or near pet beds can work wonders. You can easily make safe air fresheners with baking soda. Adding essential oils gives more odor control and a pleasant aroma to your home. For some quick and easy DIY air freshener recipes and tips, click HERE.
Pet odors may seem like a permanent problem, but with the right measures, you can keep your home smelling clean and fresh. By understanding what causes pet odors, proactively preventing their accumulation, and using natural and safe DIY remedies, you can maintain an odor-free and inviting home. Remember, the key is consistency in your cleaning routine, and with these tips and tricks, both you and your beloved furry friends can enjoy a comfortable and odor-free living space.

Essential oils offer an all-natural and cost efficient way to support your horse's health and wellbeing. Why spend a fortune on expensive chemical products for horse care, when you can make your own safe and natural alternatives? Here are two of my favorite recipes using essential oils: a hoof spray to ward off ‘gunk’; and mane detangler that not only helps release knots without damaging hair but also can support hair growth and provide a calming aroma! Try these two popular recipes today; you’ll love them! Download the recipes HERE!
Hoof Spray
I was definitely tired of turning the barn aisle green and having to wear gloves to apply a product to my horses hooves. This essential oil hoof spray recipe helps keep your horses hooves 'gunk' free, without needing gloves or turning your hands different colors.
You will need:
A spray bottle-glass and stainless steel are ideal as essential oils degrade plastic. You can use plastic as that is a much safer option than glass at a barn, just be sure to use a high quality PET or HDPE chemically resistant plastic for durability and longevity of the bottle.
Essential oil- I definitely have my favorites for this recipe which are Tea Tree Oil, Clove Oil, and Oregano. Other essential oils I have used successfully are Lemongrass, Rosemary, Thyme and Eucalyptus. If you only have one of the essential oils listed, use that one and see how it gos. Essential oils can be very adaptogenic and plants use their essential oils to maintain their viability, so use what you have and see what happens.
Vodka or apple cider vinegar- I prefer vodka because it has no aroma. It helps to disperse the essential oil into the water and then evaporates quickly leaving the essential oil residue behind. I've seen many recipes using only apple cider vinegar with successful reports but in times when I have used apple cider vinegar instead of vodka, I haven't been able to discern a true difference and since apple cider vinegar has an aroma, I prefer vodka. Use one or the other, no need to use both.
Water- I always prefer using purified or distilled water in my recipes as the impurities have been removed. However, you can use tap water, especially for a recipe that will be used up quickly. With the addition of the essential oils and vodka, I dont think you have to worry so much about longevity of the mixture.
Fill your spray bottle up halfway with water and halfway with vodka, leave room at the top to add the essential oils. I like to use a 16 oz. spray bottle, so I add 1 cup vodka and 1 cup water. Then add your essential oils. I add 60 drops of essential oil per 2 cups. So for a 16 oz. spray bottle, I add:
30 drops Tea Tree
20 Drops Oregano
10 drops Clove
Shake well and spray this mixture on the white line, frog, bars, and sole of your horses hooves after picking out. I use daily if my horses hooves seem 'gunky'. If I'm using it as a preventative, I'll maybe spray two or three times a week.
Mane Detangler
This is very easy to make and the essential oils I like to use give off a very calming aroma, making this a perfect addition to help your horse relax as well as keep the mane tangle free.
8 oz. spray bottle
2 TBS All Natural Conditioner (I like to use Young Living's Copaiba & Vanilla Conditioner) You can also sub out a carrier oil for this like fractionated coconut oil, olive oil or sweet almond oil.
6 oz. water
20 drops each Rosemary, Lavender, and Cedarwood
(or 30 drops each Frankincense and Cedarwood)
Add the conditioner to the spray bottle, then add your essential oils and swirl to mix. Then add the water and after adding the spray top, really shake it well until the conditioner is fully blended with the essential oils and water. Spray on the mane and hand comb out or use a hair pick (this helps eliminate breaking hair or pulling it out). Shake well each time you spray and spray as often as needed if you are getting tangles out. If you are using as a preventative, I usually will comb through my horses mane a couple times a week. You can even use this as a coat conditioner. I live in a hot and very dry climate, so I like to apply it during brushing, as it helps keep the dust down.
By using essential oils with your horse, you have the opportunity to create a healthier and more wholesome environment for both you and your horse. Not only will essential oils help support health and wellness, but they’re also an effective substitute for toxins that are commonly found in barns. For a fantastic source of natural products, give making your own barn products a try. With a few basic ingredients, it’s more cost-efficient than purchasing from the market - plus it can be great fun! With this knowledge, I encourage you to take initiative by creating your own hoof spray and mane detangler. Don't forget to download the recipes HERE!

Over the years, I’ve had several readers write to me saying tea tree oil isn’t safe for dogs. One reader even asked me to take down my homemade dog shampoo recipe because it contained tea tree oil.
I get it. Our pets’ safety is always the top priority. And when there’s conflicting information online, it can be hard to know who (or what) to trust. That’s why I want to share my full response here — grounded in veterinary research, safe dilution guidelines, and my own ten years of safe use with my dogs.
What Is Tea Tree Oil?
Tea Tree oil is an essential oil extracted from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant, native to Australia. Indigenous Australians have long used it as a natural remedy, and today it’s found in countless human and pet products because of its wide range of cleansing and odor-neutralizing benefits.
Tea Tree oil has even been studied as an antiviral agent, with promising results in recurrent herpes infections. In veterinary settings, it’s been investigated as a supportive treatment for prostatic abscesses in dogs, and another study found that 82% of dogs with localized dermatitis responded well to a 10% tea tree cream.
Is Tea Tree Essential Oil Safe For Dogs?
The most important factors when using essential oils with dogs are:
- Quality of the oil
- Appropriate dilution and use
- Careful observation
When used correctly, tea tree can be safe for some dogs. The problems you may hear about usually involve undiluted or excessive use. Reviews of toxicosis cases on PubMed show that most involved inappropriately high doses, and the majority of dogs made a full recovery with supportive veterinary care.
What the Research Shows
- Toxicosis review (PubMed): Most cases involved undiluted or excessive doses. Supportive veterinary care typically led to full recovery.
- Fatality cases: In a large review of 443 canine/feline exposures, two deaths were documented — both under extreme and unusual conditions:
- A 7.5-year-old Old English Sheepdog was accidentally given 0.3–0.4 mL IV tea tree oil and immediately went into cardiac arrest.
- A 15-year-old Miniature Poodle had ~28.5 mL of undiluted tea tree applied topically once daily for 3 days. After the third dose, the dog developed severe ataxia and later died. These cases highlight inappropriate routes and massive doses — not normal, diluted use.
- Dermatitis study: In a controlled veterinary trial, a 10% tea tree cream for localized dermatitis resulted in 82% of dogs showing good or very good improvement.
- Prostatic abscesses: Tea tree was studied as a promising supportive treatment in dogs with infections. These studies were conducted in veterinary research settings, meaning veterinarians themselves formulated and tested tea tree under controlled conditions, demonstrating it can play a role in animal care when used appropriately.
What We Don’t See in the Literature
According to current scientific veterinary literature, there are no reports of dogs dying from diffusion at normal household use. While anecdotes may circulate online, they aren’t supported by published, verifiable research.
Current Veterinary Guidelines
The current Pet Poison Helpline states that products containing less than 1–2% tea tree oil are generally considered non-toxic for dogs when used exactly as labeled.
👉 All of the recipes I share here dilute tea tree to levels well under that guideline (see below for the exact percentages).
Why I Still Use Tea Tree (and When Not To)
So why do I continue to include tea tree in some of my recipes?
- I’ve used it safely with my own dogs for over ten years, with good results.
- I’ve found it particularly effective in certain circumstances, particularly for skin support and odor control.
- I don’t want to contribute to misinformation or fear when there is real research and guidance that shows it can be used responsibly.
That said, if you’re not comfortable with tea tree, don’t use it. You can swap it out for cedarwood, copaiba, frankincense, or lavender and still have effective recipes. Every dog is unique, and your comfort level as a pet parent matters too.
My goal isn’t to push tea tree — it’s to share safe, fact-based options so you can make the choice that feels right for your pets.
How to Dilute Tea Tree Oil Safely for Dogs
Dilution is the most important step in using tea tree oil safely with dogs. Essential oils are highly concentrated, and applying them “neat” (undiluted) is where problems occur. Mixing tea tree with a carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil, olive oil, or jojoba spreads the oil safely over the skin and reduces the chance of irritation or reaction.
For water-based sprays, always use an emulsifier such as vodka or witch hazel to help the oil disperse, and shake well before each use. Avoid spraying near your dog’s eyes, face, or sensitive areas — if you need to apply there, put the blend on your hands first and rub it in gently.
👉 Want to learn more about choosing the best carrier oils for pets? I break it all down in this post HERE.
Following proper dilution not only makes tea tree safer but also more effective, since a little goes a long way with essential oils.
Tea Tree Recipes
Homemade Dog Shampoo
- 1 cup liquid castile soap
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 10 drops tea tree (~0.17% Very low, far below the 1–2% guideline.)
- 5 drops cedarwood
Combine the liquid castile soap and coconut oil in a bottle or jar, then add the essential oils and stir or shake gently to mix. Be sure to shake well before each use. Apply a small amount to your dog’s coat, lather, and rinse thoroughly.
Roller Blend for Skin Support (10 ml bottle)
- 6 drops Lavender
- 2 drops Tea Tree (~1% )
- Top with carrier oil
Add the essential oils directly into a 10 ml roller bottle, then fill the remainder with your chosen carrier oil. Attach the roller top, shake gently to combine, and roll on as needed.
Skin Spray (2 oz / 60 ml bottle)
- 5 drops Tea Tree (~0.4%)
- 5 drops Frankincense
- 1 oz vodka
Add the vodka to a 2 oz spray bottle, then add the essential oils and swirl gently to combine. Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water, shake well before each use, and apply as needed, avoiding eyes and sensitive areas.
Outdoor Comfort Spray (2 oz / 60 ml bottle)
- 3 drops Citronella
- 3 drops Tea Tree (~0.25%)
- 4 drops Palo Santo
- 2 tbsp vodka
Add the vodka to a 2 oz spray bottle, then add the essential oils and swirl gently to combine. Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water, shake well before each use, and spray before outdoor time, avoiding eyes and sensitive areas.
Final Thoughts
Tea tree oil is powerful — and like any tool, it needs to be used responsibly. The science shows problems occur at very high, undiluted doses or unusual exposures, not at the low levels used in carefully diluted recipes.
If you’re comfortable with tea tree, safe dilution is the key. If you’re not, that’s okay — there are plenty of alternatives. The most important thing is to make informed choices based on facts, not fear.
That’s why I’m careful about what I use with my own animals. I personally use and trust Young Living™ essential oils for my dogs, horses, and home. Their Seed to Seal® standard means I can feel confident that what I’m using is pure, safe, and effective.

If you’re an equestrian looking to explore natural, holistic remedies for your horse, then you’ve likely heard of frankincense essential oil. But what is it? How is it obtained? What are its benefits and how do you use it with horses? These are all important questions that can be answered in this blog post. Read on to learn more about frankincense essential oil and why it may be beneficial for your horse.
What Is Frankincense Essential Oil?
Frankincense essential oil has been used for centuries due to its wellness properties. It comes from the resin of the Boswellia carterii tree, found in Africa and India. The resin is steam distilled to create the essential oil, which is then often used in aromatherapy. The scent of frankincense essential oil is warm, woody, balsamic, and slightly spicy.
History of Frankincense
Frankincense has a long history dating back thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians used frankincense as an ingredient in perfumes, incenses, and medicines. It was also used by ancient Greeks and Romans as a remedy for indigestion and respiratory ailments. Today, frankincense essential oil is still widely used in aromatherapy due to its calming effects on the mind and body.
Is Frankincense Safe For Horses?
Frankincense oil is a remarkably gentle yet effective essential oil with minimal safety concerns. It's easy to use, even for newcomers - and can be blended with a carrier oil for increased safety of topical use. Frankincense is also on the FDA's GRAS list (generally regarded as safe) and is also listed as a food additive and flavoring agent. It is generally agreed upon by those in the aromatherapy field that frankincense is safe for pets when pure and used properly.
Benefits of Frankincense
Frankincense doesn't just smell amazing; it has been studied for its many health benefits! An article published on PubMed.gov contributed to our understanding of this ancient resin's immune system powers, demonstrating that the oil "exhibited a strong immunostimulant activity". According to this review, published on PubMed.gov, contemporary studies have also shown frankincense can reduce pain and inflammation as well as aid in fighting bacteria - making it great choice for massage oils and joint rubs. Even more impressive? This review reports "we have accumulated research evidence from the beneficial effect of Frankincense consumption in memory improvement".
One of my favorite benefits of using frankincense with horses is its calming effect on the nervous system. It can help reduce tension levels both physically and mentally while providing a sense of relaxation.
Frankincense can also promote healthy skin and in people has been studied and recognized to reduce uneven skin tone. I like to add it to many natural DIY products I make for my barn like mane detanglers and hoof oils.
This unique substance is definitely worth exploring further if you're looking for natural alternatives to promote overall wellbeing!
How To Use Frankincense With Horses
The benefits of Frankincense can be utilized by simply inhaling the aroma, applying a small amount topically, or even using as a supplement.
To use aromatically:
- Wear as a perfume and become a walking diffuser
- Allow your horse to smell from the bottle
- Apply a drop to your palm, rub your hands together, and then offer your hands to your horse to smell
- Apply several drops to a cotton ball and stash in the trailer or tack room
- If you have electricity at your barn, you can use an ultrasonic diffuser (out of reach of the horses-tho!)
To use topically:
- You can apply a drop to your hands and then rub on desired area of your horse. The poll or chest are good places to start.
- Make a roller ball by adding 20 drops to a 10 ml roller bottle and adding a carrier oil-For a step by step guide to making a roller, click HERE
- Make a spritzer by adding to a glass or high quality plastic (HDPE or PET) spray bottle and filling up with water-For a step by step guide to making a spritzer, click HERE
- Apply a drop directly and rub in, frankincense is considered a mild essential oil and in most cases ok for undiluted application. if you or your horse are new to essential oils, or have sensitivities, it's recommended that you dilute for topical application. If you are applying to a large area, you'll want to consider dilution as well.
- Use in DIY grooming sprays, hoof oils, and massage oils or liniments
As a supplement:
- Only use essential oils labeled for ingestion like Young Livings Vitality™ line
- Add a drop to a treat
- Add a few drops to a mash
- Add a few drops to grain
