Aromatherapy for Pets: A Holistic Approach for Pet Lovers

At Urban Pawz Animal Clinic, we believe every pet deserves a safe and nurturing path to wellness. That’s why we offer pet aromatherapy services for dogs and cats — a gentle, holistic approach that supports relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being.
Our veterinary team ensures aromatherapy is done safely and effectively, using only pet-friendly essential oils and techniques designed with your companion’s health in mind.

⚠️ Important: Not all essential oils are safe for pets. Cats and dogs process scents differently, so always consult a veterinarian before introducing oils.

What Is Pet Aromatherapy?

Pet aromatherapy involves using carefully selected essential oils to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support overall health in animals. Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts with strong aromas and properties. When used properly, they may offer calming and soothing effects.
Common Essential Oils Used for Pets

Chamomile
Frankincense
Rosemary
Cedarwood
Lavender

How Aromatherapy Works for Pets

Pets—especially dogs—have an incredibly strong sense of smell. This makes them highly sensitive to essential oils. A few safe methods of introducing aromatherapy include:

Diffusion

Using a pet-safe diffuser to release diluted essential oils into the air.

Sprays

Diluted sprays can be applied to a pet’s bedding or favorite resting spot.

Topical Application

Very diluted essential oils may be applied to the skin under veterinary supervision.

⚠️ Never apply undiluted oils directly to your pet’s skin or fur, as this can cause irritation or toxicity.

Benefits of Aromatherapy for Pets

When done safely under veterinary guidance, aromatherapy may help pets:

Reduce stress and anxiety
Support emotional balance
Promote restful sleep
Ease mild discomfort
Soothe skin and coat issues

While scientific studies are still ongoing, many pet parents report noticeable improvements in their pet’s mood and comfort after aromatherapy sessions.

Safety First: Our Veterinary Approach

At Urban Pawz Animal Clinic, we take pet safety seriously. Our veterinarians:

Avoid toxic oils like peppermint, citrus, tea tree, and cinnamon
Always use heavily diluted essential oils
Provide aromatherapy-free zones for pets who need space
Closely monitor pets during and after each session
Offer tailored recommendations based on your pet’s age, health, and sensitivities

We never recommend trying aromatherapy at home without veterinary approval. Your pet’s health and safety always come first.

What a fantastic find for those that love their pets! Dr. Dias and her team (shout out to Noelle) are wonderful. The space is very modern and inviting to both pets and their owners and the obvious love and attention to pets is obvious. We had a counseling session for our little guy for weight problems, and Noelle did a fantastic job of walking us steps to keep him healthy. He also had surgery to have two teeth removed for his cleaning. While not cheap, it was incredibly professional. I would not just our little guy to any else. Steven

All I can say is wow!! We have been searching for a vet that we liked and was taking new patients since moving to this area 4 years ago. The clinic is beautiful, clean, comfortable & warm. The office staff was amazing, and Dr. Dias was so wonderful and thorough. We found our new “fur-ever” animal clinic, for our beloved dog, Kaine..

The facility is beautiful, modern, and welcoming, and the entire team goes above and beyond to make sure every fur baby receives the best treatment. Dr. Marcelle and Brian have truly created a space filled with compassion, professionalism, and love for our community’s pets. So grateful !

Last Monday, I was faced with the heartbreaking decision to put my cat down. I was distraught and anxious the entire day, calling around and eventually choosing to take her to Urban Pawz.
I can honestly say I have never been treated with as much compassion and care at any other vet. The staff was absolutely amazing—so kind, supportive, and consoling. They made me feel truly comforted and accommodated during one of the most difficult moments of my life, allowing me to say a peaceful goodbye to my beloved pet.
I would highly recommend Urban Pawz to anyone. The staff, the doctor—everyone—was incredible.

I have been going to Dr. Dias for years. She is friendly and personable and clearly has so much compassion with animals. I would highly recommend Urban Pawz for all your pet care needs

I’ve known Dr. Marcele for many years, and she’s been taking care of my Golden with incredible love and dedication since we got her. She’s truly exceptional — not just highly skilled, but also one of the most caring and compassionate professionals I’ve ever met. Now that she has her own clinic, I couldn’t be more excited! The clinic is amazing — modern, clean, and with great facilities that show how much thought, and care went into creating this space.

Dr. Dias is the most amazing vet, and my dog Bailey absolutely loves her! She’s kind, compassionate, and incredible at what she does. Her passion for caring for animals is clear in every visit. She’s been taking care of my 2-year-old Cane Corso since he was a puppy, and I trust her completely. Her new practice is beautiful, welcoming, and by far the cleanest vet clinic I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend!

After 15 years in America, I finally found a truly special place for my Shih Tzu. This clinic is absolutely exceptional — probably the best in Florida, maybe even the whole USA. The Brazilian veterinarian is incredibly skilled and caring, the clinic is spotless, elegant, and fully equipped with everything from a surgical center to travel documentation, all in one place. Every single staff member is kind and attentive, and the doctors… simply beyond words. I feel so grateful to have found them.
Thank you Dr. Marcelle

From the moment I walked in, I was impressed, beautiful decor, a calm atmosphere, and a warm welcome from everyone I encountered. The entire team, from the front desk to the vet staff, was genuinely kind and attentive. After having so many disappointing experiences with other vets, finding this place feels like such a relief. They treated my pet with compassion, took the time to explain everything clearly, and made us both feel truly cared for. I can honestly say this is the best veterinary experience I’ve ever had!

I’m extremely fussy about my dog as she is like a child to me . I put my dogs life in this vets hands. Most of all she walks out of the clinic with a wagging tail.

Urban Paws Veterinary Clinic is exactly what this area needed. We brought our dog, Mabel, in for a visit and were blown away by the experience. The clinic is spotless and modern, and every staff member we met was kind, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Dr. Dias-Appelblatt was exceptional — gentle, thorough, and took time to make sure all our questions were answered. You can tell they’ve built a place that truly puts pets (and their humans!) at ease. We’ll definitely be back.

My cat and I recently had an appointment at Urban Pawz Animal Clinic CoconutCreek. From the esthetically pleasing waiting room to the calming aroma therapy and fuzzy blankets awaiting my pet, I knew I had chosen the right place. Dr. Dias-Appleblatt is an extraordinary vet practicing solid medicine.
She has surrounded herself with a team of like minded employees. All are highly credentialed and share their knowledge and love for your pet with every aspect of the visit. It's not just a"catch"phrase over their door. You really do leave feeling as if you are part of a family!
