RELAX USDA Certified Organic Lavender Dog Deodorizing Spray

Many pet parents report that it does — and the science supports the anecdotal evidence. Lavender contains naturally occurring linalool and linalyl acetate, compounds that have been studied for their calming effects in both animals and humans. One of our most cited reviews comes from a professional pet groomer who reports that the Lavender Relax spray helps calm dogs during thunderstorms and wind events, and from a pet parent of senior dogs with anxiety and sleep difficulties who calls it "a savior." We are careful not to make drug claims — but we do confidently say: a genuinely calm dog is the most common outcome pet parents report. And there are no pharmaceutical side effects. Just organic lavender.

Shake the bottle gently before each use — the organic oils and water can naturally separate between uses, and a quick shake reunites them.

Hold the bottle 6–8 inches from your dog's coat and mist lightly in the direction of the fur.

Two to four spritzes is typically all you need.

You can brush through the coat after spraying to distribute the oils evenly, or simply let it settle naturally.

To use on bedding or blankets, hold the bottle 10–12 inches away and mist lightly — no need to soak the fabric.

Use the spray as often as your dog (or you) needs a reset.

Yes. Because our formula contains only four USDA Certified Organic ingredients — purified water, organic lavender essential oil, organic olive oil, and organic rose hip seed oil — there are no harsh chemicals, alcohol, synthetic fragrances, or preservatives to worry about. The spray is appropriate for dogs at any life stage. For puppies under 10 weeks, we recommend a light misting on their bedding rather than directly on their coat until they are fully acclimated to new smells and sensations. Senior dogs with sensitivities, anxiety, or dry skin often benefit most from the moisturizing and calming properties in this formula.

Organic lavender essential oil delivers a genuine, natural scent — one that dissipates gently over a few hours, leaving your dog smelling clean (not perfumed). That's actually the point. Because the lavender is real and organic, it interacts with your dog's coat and the environment naturally, rather than coating everything in a synthetic fragrance designed to linger for days. Most pet parents re-apply once or twice throughout the day as desired — and because the ingredients are clean and certified organic, frequent use is perfectly safe.

Using the spray on your dog's legs and paws is a great habit to get into to remove environmental toxins picked up on your walk.

It just takes a few minutes to spray their legs and paws and wipe them down.

No — and this question deserves a direct answer.

Human perfumes and colognes, and most commercially marketed "dog perfumes" or "dog colognes," are formulated with synthetic fragrances, alcohol, phthalates, and other compounds that are known irritants and potential hormone disruptors. Dogs have a sense of smell that is 10,000–100,000 times more sensitive than a human's. An overpowering synthetic scent isn't just unpleasant for them — it can cause headaches, nausea, and chronic stress. Our lavender deodorizing spray uses certified organic lavender essential oil at a concentration that freshens without overwhelming. It is not a perfume. It is a clean, functional grooming product that happens to smell beautiful.

Absolutely — and this is one of the things pet parents love most about this spray. The four ingredients in our formula are safe on fabric, and the organic lavender provides a gentle, natural freshening effect without any toxic residue. Mist your dog's bed, their favorite blanket, or the back seat of your car the same way you'd spray your dog — lightly and evenly. It's a clean, organic alternative to synthetic air fresheners and fabric sprays in every space your dog shares with you.

Most conventional dog freshening and deodorizing sprays use synthetic fragrance to mask odor — they don't address the actual odor source, and the fragrance ingredients themselves are often undisclosed proprietary blends that can include phthalates, parabens, and dozens of synthetic chemical compounds under the word "fragrance" on the label. Our spray uses four USDA Certified Organic ingredients, every one of which is disclosed, certified, and purposeful. Organic lavender genuinely freshens by interacting with odor compounds in the environment. Organic olive oil and rose hip seed oil support the skin and coat rather than simply coating the fur. The difference isn't just in what we put in — it's in what we leave out.

Miron violet glass is a specific type of glass developed to filter the light spectrum. Visible light (especially the wavelengths between 400–700nm) accelerates the degradation of organic compounds — essential oils in particular. Standard clear or amber glass lets in enough of these wavelengths over time to reduce the potency of the ingredients inside. Miron glass filters harmful light while allowing beneficial infrared and UV-A wavelengths to pass through, effectively preserving the organic essential oils without synthetic preservatives. The result: the last spray from the bottle is just as effective as the first. Plastic bottles introduce an entirely different problem — potential for chemical leaching, especially from petroleum-based plastics in contact with essential oils. The Miron glass bottle is heavier, more expensive, and more fragile than plastic — and it is the right choice for a certified organic product.
