Add essential oils of choice to 4 oz spray bottle
Add vinegar
Add optional vegetable glycerin or almond oil
Top off bottle with alcohol free witch hazel, attach spray top and tip back and forth to blend.
Shake well before using, apply often especially when perspiring.
Be careful not to get near the eyes.
CHILDREN UNDER 8: Reduce essential oils to 10 drops each.
Use in moderation on pets. A test patch is recommended for both you and your pet.
Remember, your dogs sense of smell is much more powerful than yours, we all need to keep that in mind! Be careful around their nose and eyes, spraying repellent on a bandana then carefully applying by wiping on vulnerable areas is helpful and suggested.
