Dog breath cider / oli / honey formulation

I am trying to make a dog breath spray using oils with apple cider vinegar in my formulation. I would like to add honey also. Does anyone have any ideas / tricks about how to make a clear version of this which does not separate. Is this possible or is it a moot point to try?Thanks in advance! -

Products rubbed on the gums ‘could” have some buccal absorption. This is of note since it would bypass the liver’s first-pass metabolism. Many compounds can be administered in this manner.
