DIY Herbal Anti-Itch Spray for Pets — Natural Relief from Itching & Irritated Skin

Is your pet scratching more than usual? Constant itching in pets is often caused by allergens like dust, pollen, grass, or even certain fabrics and foods. While chemical sprays may offer quick relief, they often come with long-term risks.

That’s why we’ve created this safe, natural, and effective herbal anti-itch spray — made with simple ingredients that calm irritated skin and reduce inflammation, without harsh chemicals. Bonus: it smells earthy and fresh too!

💚 Why Go Natural?

What goes on your pet’s skin doesn’t just stay there — it gets absorbed into their body. That’s why we believe in using clean, herbal remedies for everyday issues like itching, rashes, and mild skin infections.

This spray combines roots, leaves, and flowers known for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and skin-soothing properties.
