Eye Spritzer for Animal (Dog)

[Heritage Essential Oils]

Melissa Shelton, DVM offers the following formula. We would not use essential oils because essential oils don't blend well with water. Consider using Lavender hydrosol instead for a safe and effective alternative.

Lavender Eye Spritzer

4 drops Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia) HEO's comment: Lavender hydrosol would be our preferred, safe choice.

4 oz distilled water

Glass spray bottle. Shake well, mist into eyes or surrounding eye tissues.

Spritz into the eye 4 or more times daily. Some have used this daily for 2 months without harm.

Don't aggressively attempt to spray into the eye; the goal is to lightly mist the area, and if possible hold the eye open slightly while doing so.
