Wait \u2013 let me clarify &#8211; I truly believe my cats think providing me with a nonstop supply of litter gifts to scoop in the litter box, the litter box that is the closest to the vicinity of where I spend most of my time \u2013 my office \u2013 is the greatest gift they can give me. That\u2019s why when the folks at <a href=\"http:\/\/noseoffense.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">NOse Offense For PETS<\/a> reached out to me to review their fragrance-free air &amp; fabric odor neutralizer and eliminator spray product, I pounced at the chance!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I have several litter boxes around the house and nearly as quickly as they go, I scoop. But no matter how obsessively compulsive I am, with seven ready and willing cats to keep me busy, there are times when air quality can be less than desirable \u2013 especially as I said, when they prefer to use one litter box far more than the others.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16620\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Litter-in-use.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16620\" class=\"borderGreen wp-image-16620 size-full\" title=\"Rolz using the litter box\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Litter-in-use.jpg\" alt=\"In a multi-cat home it is a good idea to have several litter boxes so that cats will not exhibit bad litter habits\" width=\"460\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Litter-in-use.jpg 460w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Litter-in-use-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In a multi-cat home there is nearly always a cat in a\u00a0litter box!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I know they consider it a compliment \u2013 they want to be as close to me as possible, but I do have to be able to work without \u201cunpleasant distractions.\u201d I don\u2019t like to use cloying perfumes to cover up the\u00a0odors and I absolutely don\u2019t want any chemicals sprayed about that could harm my babies.<\/p>\n<p>NOse Offense For PETS is the purrfect solution! Why? Because it\u2019s a non-toxic, fragrance-free, pet-safe, eco-friendly formula that comes in a convenient ready-to-use spray bottle. I use it primarily as a spot cleaner on the litter boxes to keep them fresh and odor-free because when my cats go, sometimes the litter can stick to the sides and bottom of the litter box. I dab a bit of water on a paper towel and spray it with the Nose Offense \u2013 a few wipes on the offensive area and all is good!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16621\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/NOlogo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16621\" class=\"borderGreen wp-image-16621\" title=\"NOse Offense For PETS\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/NOlogo.jpg\" alt=\"NOse Offense For PETS is a safe, non-toxic spray developed to eliminate pet odors\" width=\"460\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/NOlogo.jpg 1668w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/NOlogo-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/NOlogo-1024x739.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16621\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">NOse Offense For PETS is a non-toxic, fragrance-free, pet-safe, eco-friendly product that comes in a variety of sizes to accommodate the needs of your household.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If odors are particularly strong, I will spray the air a few times to neutralize the odor. Does it work? Probably the biggest endorsement is when we have company. Most people don\u2019t believe we have seven cats, so I think that speaks volumes.<\/p>\n<p>We also had a backdoor visitor \u2013 a raccoon who\u00a0used\u00a0our pool to wash his food. The cats were\u00a0less than thrilled and we had a couple incidents by the door where someone marked the area with urine. I sprayed with the NOse Offense and it worked like a charm \u2013 no more markings!<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s my personal take on NOse Offense For PETS. But why should you use the product when there are so many others out in the market, and how does it remove odors without a fragrance? Here\u2019s the actual science behind it all:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/NO24-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"borderGreen alignleft wp-image-16622\" title=\"Convenient 24 oz. and 2 oz. bottles\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/NO24-2.jpg\" alt=\"NOse Offense For PETS comes in a convenient spray bottle to eliminate pet odors.\" width=\"200\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/NO24-2.jpg 669w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/NO24-2-236x300.jpg 236w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>NOse Offense For PETS is a patent pending product that uses the scientific principle of odor conjugation to eliminate odors completely. Translation: the molecules in the spray immediately combine with the bad odors to create a smell free environment without masking the smells with fragrances or perfumes. Products made with fragrances or perfumes might use a group of harmful chemicals known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.petpoisonhelpline.com\/uncategorized\/top-five-feline-toxins\/\" target=\"_blank\">phthalates <\/a>to produce those artificial fresh smells that are left behind.<\/p>\n<p>NOse Offense For PETS uses none of these chemicals, which, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inutritionals.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.inutritionals.com<\/a>, can cause significant toxic effects such as disruption of hormone activity and thyroid function. There are also other potential consequences related to brain development, immune system function, birth defects, asthma, cancer, metabolism, and even reproduction.<\/p>\n<p>But with no smell coming out of the spray bottle, how do you know the NOse Offense is working? According to the team at NOse Offense For PETS, you can be assured it is! The active ingredients in NOse Offense For PETS are zinc salt, emulsifiers, preservatives and proprietary odor counteractants, and the product is manufactured to be 100% free of enzymes, alcohols, phenol &amp; phenol derivatives, phosphates, phthalates and fragrances.<\/p>\n<p>NOse Offense For PETS is a conscious company from start to finish \u2013 not only is NOse Offense For PETS a green, organic and non-toxic pet product, the product\/packaging is biodegradable. The spray bottle is made from recycled plastic, the carton packaging is constructed from 100% recycled material, and the entire carton is recyclable.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a winner all the way around! And while my focus is clearly cat-related, NOse Offense For PETS is perfect to eliminate odors for any pet you might have such as dogs, ferrets, hamsters, rabbits and more. It comes in a variety of <a href=\"http:\/\/noseoffense.com\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\">sizes and packaging options<\/a> and if you would like to try it out for your household, the team at NOse Offense For PETS has kindly agreed to offer Zee &amp; Zoey Cat Chronicles readers a special <strong>20% off discount offer!<\/strong> Just enter code <strong>zeezoey20<\/strong> at checkout.
