Listerine For Pet Odors

By

Listerine (amber colored only) is wonderful for pets itchy feet, hot spots, fungus and general itch. Do not use the pink, blue or green as it doesn't work the same. I know not why but our wonderful A C officer gave us tips on curing many things in the barns and our pets too.

Listerine is very sticky. You may be inviting ants and other small rodents into your house. Be careful.

I have used Scope and it works very well for cat odors, too.

I also have cats but I'm down to only 2, I found X-0 about 25 years ago it works, it is a bit pricey but it will last a long time, the directions on the bottle says to mix it 50/50 with water but I put 1 oz per cup of water and This works just fine.
I had a friend borrowed my spray bottle because someone threw a dead cat in the church dumpster in the summer, she sprayed the dumpster, it totally eliminated the odor, the dumpster wasn't picked up for 4 days after she did not have to spray again. Both my mail and female have a tendency to spray, if I catch them at it I can spray immediately
(Because I know where they sprayed) there is no odor.
Since Im not always sure where they sprayed I mist everything from my knees down every now and then and I have no smell, I even spray outside.

Wondering if anyone has used the "generic Listerine" for pet odors & the other stated uses. Does it also work? Do the pets resoil the same areas or is the smell gone for them also? Are we discussing the "original amber colored" Listerine or any variety? Does one work better than another?

Hi, thanks for this tip. I have also found that apple cider vinegar works well too :-)

Listerine is also perfect for cleaning ears. I have 4 Shih Tzu and moisten a cotton ball with Listerine to clean the inside part of their ears [only the part you can see] and if they are shaking their head because of an ear problem, put several drops in each ear [do this outside, when they shake their head, it can go everywhere!!]. If you sniff the Rx from the vet's, it is a Listerine base and why pay $8+ when a bottle of Listerine is so much less. Lasts for years in a cool closet!
