Highlighted Reviews
"Haven't used this since my dog grooming days. So happy to have found it again! Not only do I love the smell, I love how the coat colors stand out more. I don't have skunk dogs. I just love the results. The smell lasts longer imo too."
"I used it on our dog after she got sprayed, was hoping it would make the skunk smell go away. All it did was make it worse."

If expecting miracle results with skunk odor, do not use this product. But, for general freshening or less persistent smells, it can offer a decent product experience.
