Highlighted Reviews

"Very happy with this product. I often spray around the house in the dogs favorite laying places. Very deodorizing"

— Nan

"The dog spray was in the same box as a 28 lb bag of dog food. It was jostled around and started leaking in the box. I lost about 1/3 of the bottle. I've made this complaint before and it falls on deaf years. I also do not consistently see a packing slip in the box."

Bottom Line

If you are looking for an effective deodorizing spray for dogs, this product works well for skunk smell. However, due to frequent packaging and quality issues, we suggest looking into other brands or ensuring robust packaging when purchasing.
