The short answer is yes, emu oil is safe for dogs. But not only is emu oil safe, but it is also extremely beneficial for your pet. Emu oil is a great source of Omega 3, 6, and 9. These are known as essential fatty acids, which contribute largely to many body processes such as healthy eyes, brain and effective response to inflammation.
Theses fatty acids are also needed for growth and reproduction. They are especially helpful for puppies because they help brain, eye, and learning develop.
Emu oil is a great penetrating agent which makes it great for the speedy relief of both acute and chronic ailments that your pet may have. It does not contain any toxins and is hypoallergenic, so it is safe for both external relief as well as internal. There are many benefits to applying emu oil internally and externally. Since emu oil is such an effective anti-inflammatory, it can assist with increased mobility and relief of joint pain. This can be accomplished by both internal and external application.
The benefits of external application include: soothing flea bites, hot spots, and skin irritations such as dermatitis. Emu oil is a great moisturizer so it will heal dry noses and cracked paw pads. It helps to heal any bites, broken skin injuries, ear infections and inflammation and joint pain. Adding emu oil to your dog’s meals also has many benefits. When taken internally it can help your pet maintain a healthy heart, organ and immune system function, ease symptoms of arthritis and joint pain, maintain healthy teeth and gums. Giving your dog emu oil both internally and externally will also help your dog cosmetically as well. Emu oil is great for dry skin/coat and will help maintain and restore lustre, shine, thickness and softness to your pet’s coat. Giving your puppy emu oil internally at a young age is also very beneficial to development of healthy brain and learning function, eye sight development, and ensures that your puppy is growing big and healthy.

One article states the reason why emu oil is safe and so beneficial. “Research reports point to Emu Oil’s high level of hormone like compounds Eicosanoids as a reason for its effectiveness. Eicosanoids have been shown to increase blood flow near areas it is applied to resulting in quicker and deeper healing. These hormones also promote cells to open up and soften, which in turn allows oxygen to penetrate deeper into the skin.”
In conclusion emu oil is definitely safe for your dog and will help improve your dog’s overall health and appearance.
