Read More Because snuggling with your pup is so much more fun when they don’t smell like a combination of Fritos, farts, and whatever they’ve been rolling around in recently. Honeydew is a small business that sells dog and human body care. Promising review: "I just love how good our dogs smell after using this! It’s a little thick, but I feel like when we use this, there isn’t much of that 'wet dog' scent. They just smell nice and clean." —Suzanne Calcutt Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "It really works, and dogs love it! Started brushing both of my dogs' teeth again after not doing it as I should have. I notice my older dog's teeth are getting bad, and his breath is bad. My girl's teeth were also bad, and she’s only two! Well, after using this product for about two weeks, I’ve noticed their teeth are looking and smelling so much better! They love the poultry taste and they look forward to it every night. It’s like a treat to them! This is a great product!" —Mj Patino Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in two sizes and flavors). While reviewers love how this stuff handles gross smells, they warn against spraying it directly on pets, as some may find it irritating. Promising review: "LOVE this stuff! Great smell and stains come right out! Our new puppy went frequently in one room. That room still stank even after using almost a whole bottle of another cleaner! I sprayed this once, and the smell was gone!" —Jamie L Stewart Price: $16.99+ (available in two sizes and four scents). Promising review: "I love this product! I use it on my 90-pound Rottweiler, and it works! Once he’s been outside for more than five minutes, he starts to have an odor. It's nice to have something other than doggy cologne (which just masks the smell) to get rid of the smell. Super easy to use and worth the money since you get so many wipes in a pack!" —Ambily Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in puppy and odor-control versions, as well as in differently sized multipacks). Promising review: "They’re thicker than I expected, which makes them super easy to use without tearing or getting messy. The fresh aloe scent is a nice touch, and it helps deodorize while gently cleaning away wax and buildup. My dog, cat, and even my rabbit don’t mind them at all, which is a huge win. It’s a quick and natural way to handle ear care, and the 50-count pack lasts a good while. Definitely a must-have for pet parents looking to keep things simple!" —Elena Get a 50-count container from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in a 100-count container). Promising review: "I have several dogs in the house and am always concerned that it smells like that to visitors, even with cleaning every day. I have used other candles and melts that mask the underlying odor with a pleasant smell, but these candles do better. I have been able to leave the house for hours, and when I first open the door on my return, I don't smell dog. We recently had a house full of people (many of them pet parents) over for Christmas dinner, and it was actually commented: 'Your house smells really nice. How do you keep the dog smell out?' I laughed and told them I was just wondering if the candles were working. I guess I got the BEST answer." —LLL Texas Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in 14 scents and packs of two). Promising review: "Fresh Citrus smells absolutely delicious! I love coming home to a lovely-smelling home, knowing it is completely safe for my pup! I will be purchasing other scents asap! I highly recommend the reed diffuser." —Leigh Stumme Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five scents). Promising reviews: "I bought this after the groomer used it on my dog. It smells heavenly. She smelled like the Strawberry Shortcake doll I had as a kid. (Or the Blueberry muffin one?) Very light fruity scent. The bottle lasts a long time, too, because only a few sprays are needed!! Love this product!" —Lis G "Second order and I’m so pleased!!! I have several dogs, and when they're finished with their baths, this spray goes on. It lasts until the next bath time!! No irritation to the skin and no oiliness. Well worth the money!!" —Cocco Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in three scents and a pack of two). Promising review: "I've been buying these for five years since my dog was a pup. These work the best of those I've tried. I really love that there's no smell after my dog uses it and how quickly it absorbs! Also, nothing beats not having to look at pee stains. I have to look closely before changing it to see if she even used it! The only downside is she prefers using these over going to the bathroom, so I buy a lot of them. ;)"—Kristi Get a pack of 14 pads from Amazon for $5.32+ (available in four sizes and various multipacks). Bright Air is a small business that makes air freshening products for the home. Promising review: "This is the best product I have found for eliminating pet odor. I keep these in different rooms and in the vehicle I use to transport my dogs, and there is absolutely no animal smell." —Cranky*Girl Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 11 scents). Promising reviews: "Love this so far. We have seven dogs total: three large, three medium, and one small. When the weather doesn't permit, they have accidents. We have towels to lie down for these accidents. I used the product, and it worked very well. The towels came out clean and smelling good." —sktc "EXCELLENT product. After one use of cleaning all of my dog's laundry (towels, bedding, mats and toys) I was sold. Laundry came out so clean, odor- and stain-free, fresh, and fluffy. A must-buy and a keeper!" —Andie Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories. Promising reviews: "This stuff is a miracle. I had a severe issue after adopting a rescue. Before we completed his potty training, he urinated on the carpet in my den. It was bad. Even after cleaning with a carpet cleaner, it still smelled. I sprayed this stuff and immediately noted a change. After treating it twice, the odor was gone! —Linda Rowe "This is one of the few purchases that I have been impressed with its potency. It is worth the 20-odd bucks to eliminate odors and breaks down stains like sandcastles. It smells very minty fresh, which I was not expecting either. I tested it on a couple of stained spots on my floors and carpets, and it was easy to clean and wipe. Practically sparkling clean." —Philip Get it from Amazon for $23.92+ (available in two sizes). Promising reviews: "Amazing. I have two big dogs, and my house smells. This purifier fully takes away dog smells, and I don't even have to run it all day! Easy setup and scheduling. I would recommend it to anyone." —Emma "It's been an amazing addition to our home. The house smells and feels cleaner with our two cats and dog. I am noticing a significant difference in my allergies, and I love the different fan settings and how quiet it is." —Tina92306 Get it from Amazon for $48.99+ (available in five styles and three colors). Promising review: "A must-have cleaning tool. My huge dog had diarrhea on our brand-new designer rug, leaving a runny, smelly stain, but luckily, I noticed it within the hour and used my Little Green Carpet Cleaner on it. I scrubbed it with the brush and solution for five minutes, three times, and the stain and smell are completely gone!!! I have also used it on dirt and grim on a light-colored porch rug, and it comes clean every time. I love how easy it is to store, and I loved watching the YouTube video on where to put the water and solution." —DarrenL Promising review: "So I have a fat little doggie who leaks. It makes the entire house stink, not to mention my other two dogs have to roll around in it. Bought these diapers, and life was instantly better. No more pee-soaked blankets or odor." —Jen Blue Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 different color combinations). Promising review: "This stuff is awesome. Totally dominates my dog's farts. He can peel wallpaper. This smells so much better. Only need a one-second blast to make a room hospitable again." —Tim Haskell Get it from Amazon for $6.48+ (available in seven colors and multipacks). Promising review: "We live in a ~250-square-foot motor home with a dog (Frito feet and farts) and a cat (canned food and litter). It's fine when the windows are open, but my delicate nose and prissy sensibilities just can't stand it once the AC is on. Tired of my complaining, my husband found this. It arrived yesterday. I plugged it in in a central location, and within five minutes, no smell. The dog came inside, farted next to me while I was lying on the sofa: within less than a minute, no smell. Fishy cat food: no smell *at all*. Litter box (we use Feline Pine, which is terrific, but when she poops...): what litter box? Honestly, it's like I opened all the windows and scrubbed the place from ceiling to floor. I am so happy. So is my husband. And the dog can now fart in peace." —Leigh Fellner Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three styles). * It’s Always Shedding Season Here, 6 Products I Swear By Since Getting A Dog * Ultra-Handy Things From Chewy You'll Recommend To Every Other Dog Owner You Meet * Chewy Products For Anyone Whose Dog Goes With Them Basically Everywhere * Products Your Dog Will *Adore* If Their Fave Place Is O-U-T-S-I-D-E * I’m Your Dog’s Lawyer, And If You Don’t Buy Them These 28 Toys, We Will Take Legal Action BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life.
