Q. Now that I know ODOR FREE is safe for my dog, please tell me how ODOR FREE works to eliminate “doggie” odors?
A. ODOR FREE’s active ingredient, Mojave Yucca, works internally to prevent odors from forming. Odor Free uses the natural odor-reduction properties of the desert Yucca plant, Mojave Yucca (Yucca Schidigera, stalk).
   

Q.

I have a 20-lb. mixed pooch and a 60-lb. Labrador. How much ODOR FREE do I give each of my dogs per day?

A.

ODOR FREE is given to each dog based on its weight. ODOR FREE contains 340 full sprays. Daily usage is 2 full sprays per 10 lbs. We suggest that for dogs over 50 lbs., you start with 11 full sprays per day. Since each dog’s metabolism is different, experimentation in total sprays per day may be necessary to achieve a maximum reduction in odors. You may want to use 12-14 sprays per day, depending on the odor issues and their severity. For the larger the dog, it will take close to 30 days for the odors to be 95-100% eliminated.

 

Q.

I think ODOR FREE is expensive. What is so special about ODOR FREE that I should try it?

A.

By using ODOR FREE you are actually going to save both time and money. And, what a relief that you don’t have to try to force a pill or tablet down your dog’s throat! Plus, your dog is going to love the great peanut butter taste of ODOR FREE! It replaces many products that solve only one problem. You no longer need to buy a product that only eliminates bad breath, urine odor, fecal odor, gas odor, a smelly coat, that indefinable “doggie” odor, stool eating, or dead lawn spots! Plus, you will no longer need products to get rid of doggie odors on the furniture and carpets. And that’s why ODOR FREE is quite a remarkable product! And, we have a “No Questions Asked” 100% Money-Back Guarantee within 60 days of purchase.

 

 

Q.

My dog has a really offensive gas odor that can clear a room in minutes! Will ODOR FREE really eliminate that problem?

A.

Yes, within 30 days, your dog’s gas odor, along with all other “doggie” odors, will be gone… continuously with regular use of ODOR FREE. Just a few spritzes a day, and you have a sweet-smelling dog that you will enjoy being with at all times!

 

Q.

Does ODOR FREE have a flavor?

A.

Yes, ODOR FREE has a light peanut-butter flavor that dogs really love! You can use ODOR FREE on both wet and dry food. You may want to mix in ODOR FREE with the wet food. ODOR FREE is equally effective on dry and wet food.


Q.

Is the suggested daily usage of ODOR FREE to be given at one feeding, or can I spread the daily sprays over the course of the day?  

A.

You can spray whenever you wish, as long as your dog gets the suggested sprays per day. If there’s a hint of odors, more spritzes per day are suggested. Since each dog’s metabolism is different, experimentation may be necessary for an odor-free environment. As there is no harm in overspritzing, some dog owners use ODOR FREE as a treat during the day. For small dogs, we suggest that it’s good to round up the number of suggested sprays, and add one spray to that number.

 

Q.

Is it hard to calculate the right amount of sprays of ODOR FREE to have a totally odor-free environment?

A.

Since each dog’s metabolism is different, dosage experimentation may be necessary. There is no maximum dosage restriction. So feel free to add extra spritzes. ODOR FREE helps keep the environment odor free, and your dog will love the extra spritzes!

 

Q.

How soon will I be able to notice a difference in the initial strong offensive urine and fecal odors?

A.

It’s a gradual change. But, typically, by day 5, you’ll notice somewhat a difference in the level of offensive odors. Within 10 days, the offensive odors are significantly reduced by more than 60 percent. Within 30 days, ALL odors are 95-100% eliminated. The smaller the dog, the sooner you will notice the difference in odors.

Q.

We use a self-feeder for our dog. Do you have any tips for that type of feeding method?

A.

With today’s hectic pace, that is a great way to feed your dog. One idea is to spread out your dogs’ dry food on a baking sheet and spritz it generously with ODOR FREE, let it dry thoroughly, then put it back in the self-feeder. Now you’re all set for a totally effortless odor-free environment! You can also pre-spritz treats to give to your dog at any time. There is no maximum dosage restriction for ODOR FREE.

 

Q.

I use a self-feeder for my 3 dogs (a Labrador, a beagle, and a Lhasa Apso). How can I be sure that each dog is getting the correct amount of ODOR FREE so that it’s effective in removing all of their odors?

A.

One idea is to spread out your dogs’ dry food on a baking sheet and spritz it generously with ODOR FREE, let it dry, then put it back in the self-feeder. You also need to compensate for the 3 dogs sharing food from the same feeder as you don’t know how much ODOR FREE each dog is receiving daily. So, overspritz the dog food with ODOR FREE before putting the food back in the self-feeder to compensate for the sharing of food.

 

Q.

My dog has a medical condition. Is it safe to use ODOR FREE?

A.

We recommend for dogs with any type of medication condition that you seek the advice of your veterinarian about the introduction of ODOR FREE, as well as other additives, to their diet. The list of ingredients above should be helpful information for your veterinarian. Also, we provide free samples for all veterinarians so that they can see first-hand the remarkable results of ODOR FREE.

 

Q.

I am not concerned with my dog’s odors, but he does have the really disgusting habit of stool eating! I’m really desperate to find a product that eliminates this habit! Will ODOR FREE really stop this disgusting habit? And how soon will it be totally gone?

A.

Based on feedback from clients and dog professionals, ODOR FREE has a very high success rate for eliminating stool eating. ODOR FREE is effective by totally removing the odor from the stool so that your dog is no longer attracted to the stool. To eliminate stool eating requires more than the suggested daily usage. For ODOR FREE to eliminate all of the stool odor for your dog’s keen sense of smell requires more spritzing than to eliminate the odors for our sense of smell. Also, be patient because it’s going to take 45-60 days for this habit to totally be eliminated. If your dog is eating another animal’s stool, that pet(s) must be on an increased amount of ODOR FREE as well.

 

Q.

My dog has odors that I’d love to live without, but what really drives me nuts are the urine burn spots on my lawn. I am desperate! Will ODOR FREE really get rid of the urine burn spots on my lawn?

A.

Yes. In approximately 45 to 60 days, the dead yellow lawn spots will no longer appear. With regular use of ODOR FREE, you will never have to worry about yellow dead spots on your lawn again!

DEALING WITH A STOOL-EATING DOG

**COPROPHAGIA (Stool Eating): Coprophagia is one of the most difficult bad habits to eliminate. It takes 45-60 days to eliminate the offensive habit of stool eating. To eliminate stool eating requires more than the suggested daily dosage of ODOR FREE. Start with the suggested daily dosage, and gradually increase the daily dosage until the bad habit of stool eating is eliminated. There is no maximum dosage restriction. For dogs with the habit of eating another pet's feces, that pet must also be on an increased dosage of ODOR FREE. ODOR FREE has the highest rate of success for the elimination of stool-eating on the market!

Due to the many reasons for a dog’s habit of stool eating, ODOR FREE is not successful in all instances.
ODOR FREE removes and eliminates the odor from the poop so that your dog is no longer attracted to it.
We hope the following is informative and helpful for your particular situation.

Your dog’s behavior can be surprising, complicated, interesting, and endearing. It can also be somewhat repugnant – especially the habit of eating feces. Although not the favorite topic of dog and puppy owners, stool eating/recycling, or coprophagia, is a universal canine behavior.

At some point in a dog’s life, he’s likely to sample the feces of cats, other dogs, cats as well as large animals such as horses, cows and deer. He may even be interested in eating his own stool.

Why would your dog be compelled to engage in such a revolting habit? Because he’s driven by the forces of nature. Coprophagia happens to be a normal behavior for dogs and has evolutionary underpinnings. Back in the days when our dogs’ ancestors lived in cramped dens, the living space quickly became soiled with waste from puppies – an ideal environment for the transmission of parasites and other disease carriers. The mother and other adults ingested poop to keep the den clean. From this, we know that, in a primitive sense, dogs are “programmed” to seek and eat poop in some situations.

For a different reason, as an omnivore, your dog may also be attracted to the stool of deer, horses, rabbits and other animals for the nutrients and vegetable matter they contain. Of course, these nutrients are adequately supplied by commercial dog foods and are no longer needed from other sources, particularly one so disgusting. But, your dog may not be interested in such nutritional trivia, especially while running through fields in search of bounty.

Evolutionary behavior notwithstanding, however, it’s still upsetting when your dog sweeps the yard in search of “snacks.” Equally annoying is a raid on the cat’s litter box. As many of us who live with both dogs and cats can attest, cat poop seems particularly attractive to dogs for some unknown reason.

Eating feces can develop into a problem when it becomes habitual. The behavior is most commonly observed in puppies and juvenile dogs, and is often associated with the dog spending long periods of time alone with little stimulation. Coprophagia is especially likely in caged puppies (such as those in pet stores), puppies or dogs kept in crates for long periods, and in dogs that spend long days in a fenced yard. The problem is often resolved when dogs are properly supervised.


PREVENTION AND OTHER SUGGESTIONS

What can you do about this repugnant habit? Prevention is very helpful. Your dog is less likely to ingest feces if you supervise him more closely. Use a leash when walking him and clean feces from the yard (or litter box) daily. If your dog spends a great deal of time outdoors, and the stool eating habit is troublesome, consider keeping him indoors when he is alone.

If you prefer to correct the behavior, here are a few suggestions. Some “home remedies” include sprinkling meat tenderizer or crushed breath mints on the food. Alternatively, you can try “doctoring” the dog’s feces with a spicy hot sauce in the hopes of rendering the stool aversive. This solution requires that your dog sample the stool for it to be effective, and it is less practical than simple avoidance.

J&G’s recommended solution is the regular use of ODOR FREE. ODOR FREE removes and continuously eliminates the odor from the stool so that the dog is not attracted to it, which is effective in most instances. Based on feedback from dog professionals and owners, ODOR FREE has the highest success rate of any product on the market. But, because of the many reasons for a dog’s habit of stool eating, ODOR FREE is not successful in all instances.

In addition, you can try leaving your dog’s feces in the yard and covering them with a nontoxic chemical, but this is unlikely to fool your dog. He is likely to avoid the trap, but not necessarily to learn a lesson. Should your dog’s chosen smorgasbord be the litter box, you can effectively restrict access to the room that it is in by installing a hook-and-eye mechanism on the door and propping it just wide enough so the cat (but not the dog) can come and go freely. Or, give ODOR FREE to your cat to remove its odors, and your dog will no longer be attracted to your cat’s feces.

In most cases, one or another of these efforts might help resolve the problem. But, if your dog’s habit persists in spite of all of your efforts, or if it seems compulsive in any way, consult your veterinarian for evaluation of your dog’s health and for help with a behavior modification plan.
