In the continuum of whole pet health care there is a great demand by pet guardians to include products derived from natural sources. Unfortunately, the research or evidence to support the use and/or safety of various complementery or alternative care modalities is generally lacking in the veterinary literature.

- Lavender and its chemical constituents
- Publications in the veterinary literature supporting the use of lavender in the management of animal behavioral health
- Precautions and considerations when using essential oils
- Product selection
