    Yes, viscosity that is too high for a sprayer bottle causes the issue. Remove any gums and anything thickening.

    Just what I thought, thanks for your quick answer! I’ll remove gum, not sure why they use it in original formula. As far as I know gums are only there to thicken

    Glycerin, allantoin and proteins don’t do anything useful or noticeable in rinse off applications, so you can get rid of them.

    Thanks for the advice! I will get rid of allantoin and proteins. I want to keep glycerin tho- I find it much easier to mix xanthan gum with glycerin than with water.

    I recall it’s more alkaline than human. Swiftcraftymonkey has an article about pet formulations. Might be worth it to have a look.

    Yes, it is more alkaline, I’m trying to keep it a little above 7.
    Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for forums and communities to help me learn more.

     I would nix the essential oils, they might smell good, but could easily irritate you pet’s skin.

    Thanks for the advice! Would you recommend just using perfume oils? Or maybe using EO at really low %?
