Treat Your  Best Friend: A Natural, Non-Toxic Pet Pest Repellent That Really Works

Hey there, fellow pet lovers! We know how important it is to keep our furry friends safe and healthy. That's why we're so excited to share this awesome recipe for a natural, non-toxic pet pest repellent. It's easy to make, super effective, and gentle on your pet's skin. Let's dive right into the ingredients and steps to create this fantastic solution to keep your pets pest-free!

Here's What You'll Need:

Gather these simple ingredients to whip up your pet pest repellent:

  1. 2 oz. of carrier oil OR 4 oz. witch hazel (go for carrier oil if your dog will be in water or rain)
  2. 10 drops of citronella or eucalyptus essential oil
  3. 8 drops of lavender or cedarwood essential oil
  4. 6 drops of peppermint essential oil

Easy-Peasy Repellent Prep

Follow these quick and easy steps to create your very own natural pet pest repellent:

  1. Grab a spray bottle (glass is best) and pour in the carrier oil or witch hazel.
  2. Add the essential oils - citronella or eucalyptus, lavender or cedarwood, and peppermint.
  3. Give it a good shake to mix everything up nicely.

How to Use Your Homemade Repellent

Applying the repellent is a breeze! Just follow these tips:

  1. Dab a small amount on a collar or leash, spray a bandanna or shirt, or lightly mist your pet before heading outdoors.
  2. Remember to shake well before each use.
  3. Spray your dog all over, but watch out for their eyes. If your pup's hanging out with mosquitos for a while, reapply the spray every few hours.

Carrier Oils vs. Water: What's the Deal?

You might wonder why we recommend carrier oils instead of water. Well, carrier oils have some great perks:

  1. Long-lasting: Carrier oils won't evaporate or mold quickly, so your spray stays effective longer.
  2. Skin and fur love: Carrier oils are super nourishing for your pet's skin and coat.
  3. Dilution magic: Carrier oils help dilute essential oils, making them safer for your pet's skin and easier to absorb.

Popular Carrier Oils for Your Repellent

Here are some common carrier oils you can use in your pet pest repellent:

Always dilute essential oils before applying them to your pet's skin to avoid irritation.
