Cedar oil (also known as cedarwood oil) is the active ingredient in Wondercides line of Flea & Tick control products. In addition to repelling pests and killing them when combined with the inactive ingredients in Wondercide, cedarwood has a relaxing effect on dogs and supports healthy skin. It can be used effectively for pets in a water diffuser to calm them. If your dog acts a little sleepy when you apply Flea & Tick Pets + Home to the skin and coat, its a response to the aromatherapeutic quality of the cedar essential oils.
Peace & Calming is an essential oil blend that Blanca used successfully with her most recent dog Penney Lane, a chihuahua mix. Penney was a hyperactive dog who benefitted from the relaxing qualities of this oil blend. Its meant to be used for fear, anxiety, behavior issues, car rides, and excitement. Like lavender oil, it can be used in any times of stress and in new environments to help build your dogs confidence. It is useful when diffused or applied to something close to your dog, like their collar, blanket, or toys.
Another insect-repelling essential oil, citronella can be found in our Geranium shampoo bar for pets. Diffuse oil instead of using those store-bought citronella candles, and wash your dog with our shampoo bar for added anti-flea-and-tick power.
Blanca also suggests the essential oil blend Valor, which helps with fear, behavior, and training. It can also aid in the healing of skin masses, itching, allergies, and infections. Try it in a diffuser, on your pups collar or with topical application.
“My life has been about educating people on the purest essential oils. They use no synthetics. Theyre unadulterated with the same properties of the plants they came from. Plants exude oil to protect themselves and help themselves grow. The essential oils have compounds that help us emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Essential oils are the life source of the plant. In my practice, I believe in treating the whole body. If youre having stomach problems, tell me about your stress. Changing the bodys beliefs is important for improving your health. And its the same thing for your pets. If your dog has the feeling that everyone with a hat is going to hurt him, then you need to rewire his brain so he doesnt attach to that past trauma. Feed them proper food. Give them enough exercise. Use the right (highest-quality) essential oils. We dont only have to be loving and caring but must be mentors to our pets. They learn from us and in turn, we are able to learn so much from them.”

If youve ever used Wondercides Lemongrass Flea & Tick Pets + Home, youve already experienced the benefits of lemongrass essential oils. Theres just a small amount of the oil in our products to create that very pleasant citrus smell, but it is actually off-putting to fleas and ticks and can improve the condition of your dogs skin as well.
Another insect-repelling essential oil, citronella can be found in our Geranium shampoo bar for pets. Diffuse oil instead of using those store-bought citronella candles, and wash your dog with our shampoo bar for added anti-flea-and-tick power.
Peppermint oil is a great reliever when dogs are overheated. It can be used on long hikes and added (in a tiny quantity) to drinking water for internal cooling. As an analgesic, it can be used for acute injury as well. Love peppermint? Youll love our Flea & Tick Pets + Home Peppermint spray. So refreshing!

**Note: Essential oils must be used as directed and not all can be used topically on pets. The two most important aspects of essential oil safety are purity and proper dilution. Not all essential oils that are safe for dogs are also safe for cats. Please consult a holistic veterinarian before using any new essential oils with your pet.
