How to Make Homemade Dog Deodorizing Spray with Baking Soda & Lavender

Ingredients

  • Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate): Neutralizes odors without covering them up.
  • Distilled water: Reduces mineral buildup and keeps the spray fresher.
  • Lavender essential oil: Pleasant scent, and many dogs tolerate it well in low amounts.
  • Optional: Aloe vera juice or witch hazel (alcohol-free): Helps the scent disperse and can soothe skin. Use only if your dog tolerates it.
  • Optional: Vegetable glycerin: Adds mild conditioning and helps bind scent.

Instructions

  1. Add the baking soda to your clean spray bottle.
  2. Pour in the distilled water. Swirl or shake until dissolved.
  3. Add 2–3 drops of lavender oil. Do not exceed this; more is not better with pets.
  4. Optional: Add aloe/witch hazel and glycerin, then shake again.
  5. Label the bottle. Store at room temp, away from sunlight.
