Doggie Cologne

Doggie Cologne

Let's face it:  Fido can get funky.  And I don't mean he's a good dancer!  Spray this minty mixture--a homemade funk-fighter--on him and his bedding to eliminate "doggie odor" and keep your house nice and fresh, too.

Ingredients:

5 drops of pennyroyal essential oil

5 drops of peppermint essential oil

5 drops of pine essential oil

5 drops of cedar essential oil

warm water

Instructions:

1.  Mix the essential oils together in the warm water.

2.  Place in a spray bottle.

3.  Lightly spray the dog's bedding and hairbrush with the mixture periodically to eliminate doggie odor.
