Overview
A ready-to-use, non-enzymatic shampoo from Thornell marketed under the Odorcide/Skunk-Off name for removing skunk odor from dogs, cats and surfaces like carpet and car interiors, sold in an 8 oz bottle.
Being non-enzymatic sets it apart from enzyme-based odor removers that break down organic residue biologically. The maker's directions call for a minimum 4 oz application, so one 8 oz bottle likely covers only one or two full treatments on a larger dog.
- Non-enzymatic formula
- Ready to use
- Works on dogs, cats, carpet and car
- 8 oz bottle
Who it's for
Owners who need to treat a pet after a skunk encounter and want a product that also works on carpet, car interiors and other household surfaces.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Works on pets and surfaces like carpet and car interior
- Ready to use, no enzymes required
- Clear application directions provided by the maker
- 8 oz bottle may cover only one to two full treatments at the recommended 4 oz dose
- May require repeat applications if odor persists
Performance notes
The directions call for working the shampoo fully to skin level, including hard to reach areas like eyelids and between toes, since spray can land anywhere on the coat, then rinsing and repeating if odor persists.
