Question: My dog has dry skin, what oils do you recommend to moisturize it?
From Dr. Janet Roark, the EO Vet:
COCONUT OIL COAT MASK RECIPE
• 1 c. raw, unrefined Coconut Oil
• 1-2 tsp. raw local Honey or Manuka Honey
• 2 drops Lavender Essential Oil
• 2 drops Roman Chamomile Essential Oil*
• 1 drop Myrrh Essential Oil
• 10 drops Vitamin E Oil
Mix all ingredients together and store in a sealed container. *Optional
DIRECTIONS: Bathe with shampoo regularly. Rinse and leave damp. Scoop a small handful of coconut oil and apply to skin. Rub over entire body, paying close attention to the ears, underneath the front legs, the legs, and belly. Do not get any into the eyes. Leave the Coconut Oil Mask on her body for 5-10 minutes (it's okay if they lick it.) Rinse and shampoo again to remove any greasy feeling. Towel dry and repeat every one to two weeks.
