Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus is a genus of trees and shrubs that is primarily found in Australia but is also encountered in other parts of the world. The leaves of the eucalyptus tree contain essential oils known for their distinctive scent. Traditionally, eucalyptus leaves are used in folk medicine and aromatherapy, especially for their refreshing and antiseptic properties.

For dogs, eucalyptus can be used in moderate amounts in certain natural products, such as insect repellents or as an air freshener. However, it is important to emphasize that not all eucalyptus species are safe for dogs and that its use should be carefully considered. In chickens, eucalyptus can help improve air quality in coops and can deter insects. Some farmers use eucalyptus leaves to support the health of their chickens.

In horses, eucalyptus oil can be applied to help with respiratory issues or as part of a massage treatment. The use of eucalyptus in animal care should always be done with caution and under the guidance of an expert, due to potential side effects and variations in sensitivity among different animals.
