Is your pet using Emu oil?

It probably isn’t the first thing you think about when your pet has an itch, a bite or a scratch, but did you know that you can use Emu oil to treat your pet?

As an anti-inflammatory Emu oil is an excellent natural, safe and non-toxic product you can use to treat your pets Arthritis, Eczema, wounds, mites and bites, ear infections, burns – just about anything.  In addition to Emu oil’s anti-inflammatory properties, Emu oil will also leave your pet with a thick, shiny and healthy coat.

Emu oil can be used on dogs, cats, horses and all other animals. After the Back Saturday bush fires in Victoria this year, many animals were left burnt and terribly wounded. Pam Cale and staff from Sleepy Hollow Wildlife Shelter in Tooradin used Emu Spirit Oil of Emu to treat 63 Koala’s, Kangaroo’s and Possums rescued from the fires. Most of the animals treated suffered burnt paws and tails. Sleepy Hollow used the Emu oil as a topic application directly onto the burns and noticed that Emu oil helped reduce swelling of the paws, reduced redness, and over the months since treatment, the animals’ burns have completely healed (photo’s coming soon). The last Koala rescued is marked for re-release very soon!

Dr. Wayne Backhouse, veterinarian, also uses Emu Spirit Oil of Emu of his animals. He has used Emu oil on his cat to treat her solar dermatitis and his horse for allergies resulting from ‘The Itch’ or ‘Queensland Itch’. To treat both animals he says that ‘anytime now that [the area] looks a bit raw, I put…Emu oil on it and it continues to improve.’[1]

You will notice with a topical application that your pet will lick the oil as soon as you put it on – Emu Spirit’s mascot and resident yelper, Bloke, is constantly licking his tummy every time we use Emu oil to treat his annoying itch (playing with ducks in the pond will do that!) and it doesn’t stay on his skin long. This is a good thing. By licking the oil, your pet is also receiving an internal application – much like you would if you were using Oil of Emu capsules. An internal application assists inflammation based conditions and will help attack the symptom from the inside out.

We recommend daily serves of Emu oil for your pet, especially if they have Arthritis. You can either rub Oil of Emu into their joints or affected areas (twice a day helps) or simply drizzle one to two teaspoons of Oil of Emu over food. They’ll never know they’re eating it.
