Aromatherapy Benefits for Animals

Aromatherapy has been around for centuries. It is commonly used in skin care products, to flavor foods and disinfect hospitals.

Scent to an animal can dictate if they are in a safe environment or if they are in danger. Historically, we have seen animals employed to sniff out the scent of missing people and drugs. Their heightened sensitivity to smell is an example of the significance and importance scent may play on emotions, behavior and physical concerns.
