I went in seeking sweet birch oil for scent work with my dog Memphis and they were immediately amicable, approachable, and helpful. (Precautions are taken when we train with essential oils so Memphis is safe when she is sniffing!)

This is something I would recommend to everyone if you are interested in wearing...
