I am researching all kinds of stuff to try to keep Tanner healthy (Eric has been checking him for lumps practically daily), and I've come across some information on essential oils (mostly for people). Has anyone used essential oils on dogs? I know there are some that definitely can't be used. I am looking to start taking Tanner to a holistic vet (who actually works in the same vet office and with the oncologist we used for both Jake and Roscoe), and it's one of the questions I want to go over with her but I wanted to see if anyone here had any experience with them? 

I became really sold on holistic medicine when my daughter came down with the flu. The doc gave her theraflu and I read horrible stuff about it (Plus the doc said it hadn't been helping) so I didn't want to give it to her. We have a friend who is Japanese and into holistic remedies and he gave us a simple recipe (a cup of broth containing as much tumeric, fresh garlic and cayenne as you can stand). We gave it to her a few times and within 24 hours her symptoms were practically gone. Both myself and Eric have used this recipe too and it has always helped. So I've been looking into holistic health for us pretty much since. When Roscoe passed away, it really kicked me into high gear.
