The physical therapist that we take Seymour to (and we also took Shelby there) uses lavender oil. It is not just a "Scent" but genuine lavender oil from GNC. She puts a dab between her 2 fingers and rubs her fingers together and then rubs it on the tips of his ears and also on his forehead. It DOES help with calming!!! A little goes a long way!!!! She said that it can also be used for dogs that need a little extra something when traveling or even if afraid of storms.
I like it because it seems to help during the therapy sessions AND makes the ride home very pleasant smelling!
Remember it is NOT to be used or given orally!!!!
