As an adult who has never had children, I’ve always treated my pets as if they were my babies. [Natural pet care](https://mountainroseherbs.com/dr-kidds-herbal-dog-care) is important to me, and I bring that approach into everything from the food they eat to the things I put on their coat/skin. As a gal with a 180-pound dog, I needed a way to keep my beloved St Bernard’s coat smelling and feeling nice, without having to put my wrestling gear on to bathe him all the time. That’s when I decided to make this softening and refreshing leave-in conditioner spray. It allowed for some more time in between washes and made for a more enjoyable cuddle time. ## [![Ingredients in a basket to make leave-in conditioner for dogs, including MCT oil, vegetable glycerin, rosemary hydrosol, and vitamin E oil](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DogCoditioner_Ingredients.jpg?width=600&name=DogCoditioner_Ingredients.jpg)](https://mountainroseherbs.com/fractionated-coconut-oil) DIY Rosemary Dog Conditioner Spray Makes about 3-ounces. **Ingredients** - 1/3 cup [organic rosemary hydrosol](https://mountainroseherbs.com/rosemary-hydrosol) - 1 tsp.
