How to Eliminate Pet Odors
As much as we love our pets, they can sometimes bring unpleasant odors into our homes. There are several common pet odors that pet owners should be aware of, including urine, feces, wet dog, bad breath, anal gland odor, sweat, dander and skunk spray among others. Understanding the causes of these odors and how to prevent and eliminate pet odors can make life more pleasant for dogs, cats and their owners.
Common Pet Odors & Causes
Here is a list of some of the most common pet odors found in homes. Learn what causes these odors, how to prevent them and why Chlorine Dioxide (CIO2) and Bio-Bombs are the best solution to eliminate pet odors from your home:
Pet Urine Odor
One of the most common pet odors is urine. Pets may urinate indoors due to accidents, marking behavior, or medical issues, and the odor can be difficult to remove. It is important to clean up any urine promptly and thoroughly to prevent the smell from becoming overpowering. We sell a variety of odor eliminator products to remove pet urine odors from your home, but considering the destructive, acidic nature of pet urine, prevention is the best approach to avoid the issue altogether.
Feces & Litter Box Odor
Another common pet odor is feces. Keeping the litter box clean and promptly picking up dog waste can help prevent this odor from becoming overwhelming. Pet owners should also make sure their pets are on a healthy diet to help regulate bowel movements and reduce the frequency and intensity of the odor.
Wet Dog Odor
After a bath or when dogs are outside in the rain, they can have a distinct odor. This is caused by the moisture on their fur, and it can be difficult to eliminate. Proper grooming and drying techniques can help reduce this odor, and using a deodorizing shampoo during bath time can also help.
Bad Pet Breath
Many pet owners notice bad breath in their pets, especially in dogs and cats. Bad breath can be caused by dental issues, such as plaque buildup or gingivitis, or other medical problems. Regular dental care and checkups with a veterinarian can help prevent this odor and identify any underlying health issues.
Anal Gland Odor
Some pets, particularly dogs, have strong-smelling anal glands that can emit an odor that is difficult to ignore. These glands produce a substance that is used for marking and can become impacted or infected, leading to a foul smell. Regular grooming and veterinary checkups can help prevent this odor and address any underlying medical issues.
Pet Sweat Odor
Pets can sweat, and the sweat can sometimes have an odor, especially in the paws and ears. This odor is usually mild and can be managed with regular grooming and cleaning.
Pet Dander Odor
Cats and dogs can shed dander, which can cause allergies and can have a distinct odor. Regular grooming and cleaning can help reduce the amount of dander in the home and prevent this odor from becoming overwhelming.
Combat Pet Odors with Chlorine Dioxide
Chlorine Dioxide is a powerful oxidizing agent that can be highly effective in eliminating pet odors. It works by breaking down the molecules that cause odors, rather than simply masking them with a fragrance. Chlorine Dioxide can be used in a variety of ways to eliminate pet odors, including as a spray, a fogger, or as the scientific force behind Bio-Bombs and our full-line of odor removal cleaning products.
When it comes to urine and feces odors, Bio-Bombs and CIO2 can penetrate deep into carpet fibers, upholstery, and other porous surfaces to neutralize the odor-causing molecules. This makes Bio-Bombs a highly effective solution for eliminating the source of the odor, rather than simply masking it with a fragrance.
CIO2 is also effective at neutralizing the lingering odor of wet dog, unpleasant anal gland smells, pet sweat, dander and bad breath from pets.
Finally, Chlorine Dioxide and Bio-Bombs can neutralize the odor of skunk spray if a family pet encounters a skunk. By breaking down the molecules that cause the skunk odor, it can effectively eliminate the smell and prevent it from lingering in the air or on other surfaces throughout a home.
