I know some can be toxic, anyone know of some oils that can be used on cats and dogs that are not toxic?
NO!!!! All essential oils are extremely toxic, please don't use any!

Because I know many vets, nurses and aromatherapist who have all been adamant with me that they all essential oils are toxic. Google it! You'll see. Not everyone agrees but a real aromatherapist even states it on their site never to use them on pets. I would never chance it. I don't chance anything that could be potentially dangerous. Their livers are incapable of filtering out the elements of the oils. Plain and simple. Especially cats, they are incapable of filtering out many things with their livers and can easily develop liver disease if not liver failure.
Im sorry but your Misleading people with this information and its wrong. I'm a perfumer i make my own perfumes soaps laotions bath soaks and such from essential oils and they are NOT all toxic. Some can be if improperly used. But most are safe and useable infact many have Medicinal properties and are quite good and healthier then useing over the counter drugs or treatments. I myself use essential oils to keep fleas off my dogs and they are living strong healthy lives at the ages of nine and four.

I wouldn't ever give any oils to my pets, especially ones intended for human use. The people who say they aren't toxic are usually the same people who believe doctors are evil and pharmaseutical drugs are poison.
Maybe that book you were talking about isn't helping everyone who reads it. Some animals might be able to handle oils better than most, but it isn't made for them. You could potentially kill your pet by putting oils chemicals into its body. Why chance it?
