Skunk Smell Remover for Dogs and Cats
Now here’s a cool product if you are looking to get rid of skunk smell, or bad smells in general. This XO stuff is made from essential oils from herbs, shrubs and trees. It neutralizes odors, and it is actually so safe that you can spray it directly onto your cat or dog (keep it away from the eyes, please!) to get rid of skunk smell on pets. I wish I would have had some last time our Jack Russell got sprayed, because tomato juice just didn’t work very well. But here’s the best part. It also works to get rid of other bad smells, so you can use it in a refrigerator, on dirty laundry waiting to be washed, in your car, in stinky shoes, on carpets and just about anyplace else you can think of. You can find the regular version of the XO odor eliminator here.
