Botanical protective coat spray
A botanical protective coat spray.
Made the way I make it for my own dog and myself.
Crafted with turmeric, cedarwood and lavender essential oils for dogs and humans who love countryside walks and outdoor adventures but no so much ticks.
Inspired by decades of daily outdoor activities, professional dog walking, days of research and science-based dog training. Our Botanical Protective Coat Spray is crafted with carefully selected botanical ingredients including turmeric, cedarwood and lavender essential oils. Designed for active dogs who love exploring the countryside, it's the perfect addition to a regular outdoor grooming routine.
Why I Developed Pawtastic Botanical Protective Coat Spray?
Every week, I spend countless hours outdoors training and walking dogs through parks, woodland trails and countryside, often in tick infested areas.
Like many dog owners, I became increasingly interested in whether carefully selected botanical ingredients could complement a sensible outdoor grooming routine.
Rather than relying on social media claims or marketing hype, I spent months reviewing published scientific literature, including research from the University of Bristol and other peer-reviewed studies investigating turmeric, cedarwood and lavender essential oils.
I also tested carefully diluted formulations during my own walks and hikes with my dog Max and alongside friends who regularly explore the countryside with their dogs.
The result is Pawtastic Botanical Protective Coat Spray, a premium botanical grooming spray inspired by both scientific curiosity and years of practical outdoor experience.
What's actually in the bottle. Three ingredients, nothing hidden.
No long list of unpronounceable extras, just a water base carrying three botanical oils, each chosen for a reason.
Turmeric essential oil
A warm, earthy botanical long valued in natural wellness traditions. Included as part of the blend's grounding, herbal character.
Cedarwood essential oil
A woody, outdoorsy oil traditionally used in natural coat-care blends, chosen for its grounding scent and long history of use in pet products.
Lavender essential oil
Known for its calming, familiar scent, a gentle, soothing note that softens the blend for dogs and owners alike.
This is a coat-care product, not a substitute for vet-prescribed flea or tick treatment. It's designed as a natural addition to your dog's outdoor routine, not a replacement for it.
Why these three oils? What the research says?
I'm a dog trainer, not a scientist, so before formulating anything I had read the published research on each of these oils. Here's the short version, the full write-up with sources is linked below.
Simple to use. How it fits into your walk routine?
01.
Shake well
Give the bottle a good shake before every use to blend the botanical oils through the water base.
02.
Spray onto the coat
Hold 20–30cm away and mist lightly over the body, avoiding the eyes, nose, mouth and any broken skin.
03.
Brush through
Work through with a brush or your hands before heading out, or as part of the after-walk clean-up.
Worth reading first. Using it safely.

Water, turmeric essential oil, cedarwood essential oil and lavender essential oil, three ingredients, nothing else.

There is no staining reported but a patch-test is recommended.
Yes, a University of Bristol field trial (Goode, Ellse & Wall, 2018) found a diluted turmeric oil spray reduced tick attachment on dogs, and separate reviews report repellent activity for cedarwood and lavender oils. See the full literature review, with sources, linked below.
No, it's a natural coat-care addition to your routine, not a licensed veterinary or biocidal product. It doesn't replace vet-prescribed parasite prevention.
