Servings

serving-suggestions
  • It is generally recommended to dilute red raspberry seed oil before applying it to the skin. Dilute the oil with a carrier oil, such as almond oil or coconut oil, at a ratio of 1:10. This means that for every 1 part red raspberry seed oil, you should mix in 10 parts carrier oil.
  • Test a small patch of skin before applying the oil to a larger area to ensure that your dog does not have an allergic reaction. If you notice any adverse reactions or worsening of your dog's skin condition after using the oil, discontinue use and consult with a vet.
  • Gently massage the diluted red raspberry seed oil into your dog's skin, taking care to avoid the eyes and ears.
  • Alternatively, red raspberry seed oil can be added to dog shampoo.
