Pawareness Podcast #15 │Essential Oils for Pets - Dr. Janet Roark

On this episode of the Pawareness Podcast, we welcome Dr. Janet Roark, a veterinarian and the proud owner of Hill Country Mobile Veterinary Service in Austin, Texas. Dr. Roark specializes in using essential oils with animals and she’s here to share her story of how she started integrating essential oils into her veterinary practice after suffering from ice pick headaches and depression in vet school.
She also speaks on the importance of diet in the health and wellbeing of pets and her candid thoughts on the pet food industry, offering recommendations for what type of food and supplements you should be feeding your pet.
“I really love using essential oils for stress related problems which everyone is dealing with right now, humans and animals because their humans are stressed out and our animals actually absorb that stress that is around them.” - Dr. Janet Roark
