Holistic Pet Care

Rena I think you need to note that the articles you have listed refer to rosemary essential oil. The recipe given was for crushed rosemary or asprig of fresh rosemary doused with hot water. I don't think it would have the same effect as the esssential oil. However, it is well known that many essential oils can have adverse effects on pets.

For my part, even though it refers to rosemary oil, I don't think I would want to take any chances even with the fresh rosemary. I remember reading once that a dog had a reaction to an essential oil (can't remember which one) by being in the same room so you just can't be too careful.
