Is Roman chamomile essential oil safe to use near my cat and dog?

It’s probably safe to diffuse it for most cats. However, if Tigger has any history of asthma or breathing condition, I do not recommend diffusing anything (or incense or candles or smoking indoors for that matter). Also keep in mind that some essential oils can smell extremely strong to our pets - who have a much better sense of smell. If it smells strong to you, it’s overwhelming to Tigger- so turn it down. Best of luck to you and Tigger!

When diffusing these oils, make sure that Chloe has the option to escape the room if she is uncomfortable. They should be safe, but we can’t guarantee that she won’t have a negative reaction to them.

Hello, and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Our pets are very sensitive to the chemicals in essential oils (think how much more sensitive their sense of smell is!), and exposure to diffused essential oils can be dangerous. Cats are particularly sensitive, but it's best to avoid diffusing oils around dogs as well. If you must use diffused oils, do so in an enclosed room and keep the pets out to minimize their exposure. Hope this helps!

Peppermint essential oil is toxic to dogs, so do not use that. As for lavender, while it isn't toxic, dogs can have negative or allergic reactions to it, so use only small amounts initially. If you have a cat, do not use any essential oils as many are highly toxic to cats. I hope this helps!

Rose essential oil is considered safe for dogs. Make sure it is a high quality oil with no other oils and properly diluted. Monitor for lethargy, sneezing or coughing. Discontinue use and ventilate the room if necessary.

Peppermint oil and tea tree oil are unsafe to use on or around dogs. Lavendar, spearmint, coconut, lemongrass, frankincense, sweet orange and vanilla EOs are safe. Purchase only quality oils from reputable suppliers.

Tea tree oil is toxic to cats, and I would not use it at all in your home, as there is a chance Poe could lick the oils and become very sick. Lavender is also toxic, as are citrus oils (orange) and eucalyptus. Peppermint and lemongrass are the only safe ones you have to use around Poe, and I would restrict your use to those essential oils only. You can also use cedar wood and rosemary.
