Here's a simple DIY recipe for a dog perfume that uses dog-safe ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup distilled water
- 2 tablespoons Franctionated Coconut Oil
- 5-10 drops of dog-safe essential oil (such as lavender, cedarwood or orange)
Instructions:
1. In a clean spray bottle, add the distilled water.
2. Add the fractionated coconut oil to the spray bottle.
3. Add 5-10 drops of your chosen dog-safe essential oil(s) to the spray bottle. Choose scents that are not overpowering and are safe for dogs.
4. Screw the spray bottle cap on tightly and shake well to combine all the ingredients.
5. Before using, give the perfume bottle a gentle shake to ensure the essential oils are evenly distributed in the mixture.
6. Spray the perfume lightly onto your hands and gently rub them over your dog's fur, avoiding the face area.
7. Be mindful of your dog's sensitivity to scents and avoid spraying too much or directly onto their face.
Remember to check that the essential oils you use are safe for dogs, as some essential oils can be toxic to them. It's always a good idea to do a patch test on a small area of your dog's fur to ensure they don't have any adverse reactions.
Additionally, always consult with your veterinarian if you have any concerns about using essential oils or other products on your dog.
