to use in any of the ways you indicate, i need to make the oil and then dilute it with carrier oil. this is for a diffuser, too? or just the thieves blend in there? any topical or internal use is diluted?

I’m wondering if you can share what you know about some essential oils not being safe for dogs and cats? I own an eco residential cleaning company and our main general purpose cleaner is Thieves household cleaner. It was pointed out to me by a client with cats that many of the oils this product is made up of is not safe for cats. I looked it up and found this:
Not safe for dogs:
• Citrus limon† (Lemon) peel oil
• Cinnamomum zeylanicum† (Cinnamon) bark oil
Not safe for cats:
• Citrus limon† (Lemon) peel oil
• Cinnamomum zeylanicum† (Cinnamon) bark oil
• Eucalyptus radiata† leaf oil
The full ingredient list of Thieves is:
• Eugenia caryophyllus† (Clove) bud oil
• Citrus limon† (Lemon) peel oil
• Cinnamomum zeylanicum† (Cinnamon) bark oil
• Eucalyptus radiata† leaf oil
• Rosmarinus officinalis† (Rosemary) leaf oil
I also diffuse Thieves EO in my own home and we have a dog. I haven’t noticed any issue with her but want to be safe. I’m wondering if the amount that’s in a cleaning product that is diluted with water 1:40 is an amount that is safe? I would love any feedback on this subject. Thank you!

Can you use Thieves as an alternative for Tea Tree for Psoriasis of the scalp?

I use peppermint EO for my homemade vinegar cleaning solution (50/50 vinegar and water with 10 drops of EO) and haven’t had any problems. However, if you’re worried, I think it’s best to speak to your vet. Perhaps after using the solution, you can spray a second round with water only.
