For your Dog :
Ingredients
– 3 lemons
– 3 cups water
– 1 ½ cups vinegar
- Cut and juice the lemons. Slice the lemons and place into a large pot. Use a fork to mash the lemons a little so they release some of their juices.
- Boil the lemons in water over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and let the lemons simmer for 30 minutes.
- Remove the pot from heat and let the lemons soak in the water overnight, or for about eight hours.
- Strain out the lemons and discard, saving the water.
- Add the vinegar to mixture and pour it into a spray bottle.
