What do you need
Making a perfume for dogs at home is very easy and super simple, yes, remember that you must not use alcohol or substances that can irritate your skin. To start you will need to gather all the products that allow you to make a perfume for your dog at home:

To achieve your homemade perfume for dogs you must have all the above elements prepared and be in your kitchen, follow these steps:
- In a small container, bring the distilled water to a boil over low heat, set the amount yourself: if you want the perfume to be smooth, use a lot of water.

- Let it simmer over low heat for at least an hour and a half.
- Once the necessary time has elapsed, you must completely strain the liquid from the saucepan so that there are no traces of mint or lemon.
