A DOG-FIRST APPROACHĀ
Dogsā acute sense of smell and their unique metabolism and anatomy can make them more susceptible to the effects of botanicals. Some oils that are generally considered safe for humans may pose risks and distress to our furry friends, so it is crucial to approach pet formulations with caution.

Magical alchemy! And possibly a touch of canine chaos. In a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, you will learn how to transform plants into sumptuous potions designed to enhance your petās health. You will make and take home your botanical creationĀ to start pampering paws right away.
Combining theory and practice in a way that's easy to understand and follow, we will cover:
š¾ Dog-safe formulation basics
š¾ Basic paw anatomy
š¾ How to extract the magical properties of plantsĀ through oil infusion
š¾ How to transform plantsĀ into nourishing petcare, step-by-step
š¾ Hands-on formulation (making a natural healing paw balm)
