Anyone who has watched The Drew Barrymore Show will know that the actor-turned-host is very much a people person. However, her affectionate nature extends to animals, too – in fact, ‘Dr. Drewlittle' serves as an informal moniker.
An owner of two dogs , four cats, a bearded dragon, a fish, and a snake, Barrymore knows a thing or two about pet care – previous Drewlittle wisdom has included a lint roller that is a magic eraser for pet hair – so we trust her when she suggests a product that will make life as a pet parent slightly easier.
Her latest rec? A pet odor eliminator spray with a lovely scent. In the latest iteration of Drew's Doggy Bag segment on her show, she discussed how she uses the fragranced spray to remove any unpleasant pet smells in the home.
‘All pet owners know, our furry family members that we love like to leave us little surprises to find later,' she states on her show. ‘This is where this comes in. This is the Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator spray (available on Amazon), and it smells so good. It's an enzymatic cleanser that works on fabrics and hard surfaces. It's totally non-toxic for kids and pets.'
Angry Orange Odor Eliminator
This concentrated cleaner is small but powerful. Just add 4 tbsp of this odor eliminator into a 32oz bottle of water (yes. that's all you'll need) Then, just shake it up and spray to your heart's content. Derived from the oils found in orange peels, this enzyme cleaner is pet-friendly and aromatic and leaves your home smelling like a ‘tropical wonderland.' We'll take Barrymore's word for it.
Since it is a concentrated formula, it is recommended to add four tablespoons of the odor eliminator to a 32 ounce bottle of water, shake it, then spray it anywhere from carpet or tile to wood or grass (the only material that it does not work with is leather).
As a bonus, the fragrance is made from real orange peels, guaranteeing a refreshing, citrus scent that will ensure our homes always smell nice.
Introducing a new fragrance to a pet is a process and one that should be carefully planned out. In the case of the Angry Orange spray, experts say that small amounts of the scent should be introduced slowly.
‘There are a number of ways to present these fragrances to your pets, such as by rubbing the fruit, flower, or a small drop of pet-friendly fragrance oil onto a bandana and tying it around their neck,' says Chris Socratous, a pet expert and senior brand manager at Bob Martin. ‘To make your pet feel even more comfortable, you could add the scent to one of your old jumpers or tee shirts, so they have both this relaxing scent and the familiar fragrance of their owner.'
