Even though these deodorizing spray for dogs can help, they still don’t replace regular bathing. Our dog bathing tips will help you keep your pup’s odor to a minimum.

Paw Choice Dry Dog Shampoo Review
#2
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 deShedding Waterless Pet 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 (but please don’t put Febreze directly on your pet). And similar to Febreze, it isn’t a long-term solution, only temporary.
