Hey there! I totally get why you’d want your space smelling like the holidays, but it's great that you're checking in about your pup's safety. Peppermint oil can be a little tricky because it's best avoided around pets. Some dogs might experience irritation or even toxicity from essential oils.
If your curious buddy happens to get into peppermint oil, you might notice:
If your dog is showing mild signs like drooling or maybe a little bit of upset stomach, keep an eye on them at home. You can flush their mouth with water and ensure they have plenty to drink. Don’t let them back around the oil.
But, if they seem really out of it, have trouble walking, are vomiting a lot, or their symptoms just aren't improving, that's when it's definitely time to call your vet. They might need a little help to feel better.
Always better safe than sorry. Don’t hesitate to keep your dog away from the areas where peppermint oil is used, or consider safer alternatives for festive scents. You’re doing a great job looking out for your fluffy friend!
If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
