Does your dog smell “ripe” in between baths? Other than bathing our pups nearly every day, how can we eliminate their offending odor? Use a scented or unscented dog odor eliminator. Some of the products even double as neutralizers for floors, furniture and carpets.
Even though these odor neutralizers can help, they still don’t replace the need for regular bathing. Our dog bathing tips will help you keep your pup’s odor to a minimum.

Top 3 Pet Odor Neutralizers
Aromatherapy Freshening & Shining Spray For Pets Review
This Aromatherapy Freshening Spray will not only remove that odor from your dog’s coat, but it also has aromatherapy benefits. Among the list of ingredients is lavender oil which fights against bacteria, chamomile oil which is good for dogs with eczema, and aloe vera which is an anti-inflammatory agent and soothes irritated skin.
This spray has a great scent and is cruelty-free, which are reasons why it’s our pick for the best pet odor eliminator.

Paw Choice Dry Dog Shampoo Review
Unlike our #1 pick, this Paw Choice Dry Dog Shampoo is a pomegranate, mango-scented foam mousse that you massage into your dog’s coat and let air dry. There is no water required, but it does require a little more work than the typical spray bottle.
However, pet parents are pleased with the performance of this mousse. Paw Choice claims that this mousse is better than a spray or cologne because it eliminates the odor and doesn’t just mask it.

Other Pet Odor Neutralizer Reviews
We reviewed some other pet odor eliminator products that didn’t make our top 3 list but are popular among consumers.
FURminator deOdorizing Waterless Dog Spray Review
This waterless dog spray will keep your pup smelling good in between baths. It can be used for both cats and dogs and is made in the United States. The biggest complaint is that this spray is not scent-free.
Some customers liken this spray to Febreze — it masks the odor with another scent. And similar to Febreze, it isn’t a long-term solution, only temporary.

Oxyfresh Pet Deordorizer Review
This vet-recommended odor neutralizer is a great option if you’re looking for a spray with no harsh scent. Oxyfresh does a good job of eliminating odors rather than just masking them. It even proves effective on cat urine and litter boxes.
