TWIN FALLS, Idaho, June 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fourth of July fireworks are one of the most celebrated events for humans, but dogs and horses would beg to differ. It's no secret that the annual summer celebration often sends fur babies under beds, behind couches and over fences. In fact, animal shelters in the U.S. report that July 4 and 5 are their busiest days of the year.
Plant Therapy has just the remedy with its popular Pup & Pony essential oil blends for dogs and horses. Designed to assist pet owners whose four-legged friends go to pieces in thunderstorms, or shake before a car trip, the new line addresses the symptoms of anxiety and stress. While there are no known pharma-based solutions for issues like firework phobia in dogs, essential oil blends – long relied upon by humans - can now be used to calm and soothe animals.
Plant Therapy, a leader in 100 percent pure essential oil solutions, has combined its expertise in developing blends for humans with extensive research on exactly the right formula for dogs and horses. For Fourth of July stress relief, Plant Therapy recommends two of its four unique blends: Confident K-9 and Horse Whisperer. In addition, Plant Therapy has an extra bonus for calming canine pals: Paw Balm and Paw Pal Diffuser.
"Plant Therapy's Pup & Pony line was created to provide a safe, natural, and effective method for supporting our beloved four-legged friends on their journey to emotional and physical well-being," says Emilee Hughes, product manager for Pup & Pony. "We understand and have fully experienced the therapeutic properties of essential oils with humans and now, after undergoing extensive instruction and research, we are excited to extend the same benefits to our animal companions in a safe and efficacious manner."
Each Pup & Pony blend is specially formulated to address key issues that affect dogs and horses much like humans, including stress and anxiety, motion sickness, and immune health. These two blends could help make this Fourth of July a little more stress-free for all.
Confident K-9 (SRP $13.95)
This blend was formulated for dogs that struggle with being alone. It helps promote relaxation, support doggy confidence, and soothe worry. Excessive barking, shaking, chewing or clawing at doors and furniture are all signs of canine stress, and this blend of Blood Orange, Atlas Cedarwood, Vetiver, Ylang Ylang Complete, and Rose Absolute can be applied by adding a drop to a cotton ball and placing inside the dog bed, or by diluting and applying topically around the upper and inner foreleg, chest and neck. Confident K-9 can also be used on horses.
Horse Whisperer (SRP $19.95)
Just like humans, dogs and horses can develop fear and anxiety disorders after a traumatic experience. Trauma is especially common in rescue animals, but can also be caused by issues like forced weaning, ill-fitting tack, etc. This blend helps calm animals while supporting their emotional healing process. Horse Whisperer is also safe for dogs who struggle with similar issues. The blend features Bergamot, Himalayan Cedarwood, Frankincense Carteri, Roman Chamomile and Neroli. This blend can be diluted and applied topically to upper inner foreleg, chest or back of the neck, and it can be passively diffused.
Paw Balm (SRP $14.95)
Plant Therapy's Pup & Pony Paw Balm was formulated to moisturize dry, damaged paws and to offer protection from the elements. Paws that are dried out can be extremely uncomfortable for dogs. Pup & Pony Paw Balm helps soothe, nourish, and comfort irritated and lack-luster paws. This blend of protective beeswax, hydrating carrier oils, and soothing essential oils creates a moisturizing barrier and helps to restore skin health.
Paw Pal Diffuser (SRP $16.95)
The Paw Pal Diffuser is designed to be used with essential oil blends that dogs have already been introduced to. Add one drop of Pup & Pony essential oil blend diluted with a carrier oil onto the included felt pad. Clip the diffuser onto the dog's kennel or collar. Use for only a few hours at a time to avoid overwhelming the dog's senses.
Pup & Pony products are not intended to be used with animals other than dogs and horses. They are not to be applied topically or diffused near to cats, birds, aquatic animals or rodents. It is important to introduce Pup & Pony oils slowly to horses and dogs, starting with the lowest dilution blended into a carrier oil, until the animal is comfortable with the scent. The Pup & Pony blends, as well as other Plant Therapy essential oils, are available through the company website, http://www.planttherapy.com, and at online retailers including Amazon.com.
