Best Air Fresheners for Pet-Friendly Households

Designed precisely with pets and their owners in mind, this air freshener is both safe to use around cats and dogs and formulated to battle the strongest of pet odors. It will instantly neutralize bad smells, whether they’re coming from the litter or from your dog’s wet coat, and all it takes is 1 to 3 spritzes for the stench to disappear completely. Made in the USA without dyes, paraffin, parabens, formaldehyde, synthetic preservatives, and other toxic ingredients, these concentrated air fresheners come in 5 scents: lavender green tea, evergreen forest, mango peach, pumpkin spice, and sunwashed cotton.

If you prefer the set-it-and-forget-it method, you’ll love this oil diffuser plug-in: it banishes all pet odors and leaves behind a pleasant scent of your choice. The process is simple, you just plug it in an outlet, and it will diffuse oil-based air freshener, which lasts about 30 days before you need a refill. The fresh, gentle scent of the essential oils is enhanced with a baking soda infusion which is there to neutralize all odors – the natural way. You can pick between fresh breeze or lavender fields fragrances.

Whether it’s your pet’s stinky paws or their potty training pad you don’t want your guests (or you) whiffing in, this discreet but highly efficient air freshener does the trick. It works by absorbing the unpleasant smells in the gel and neutralizing them, while at the same time, as gel naturally evaporates, it releases fragrance from natural oils in the formula. This means that this air freshener won’t just mask pet odors, but fully eliminate them before pleasantly scenting your space. The gel formula is non-toxic, non-GMO, and non-hazardous, and contains no harsh chemicals, synthetic perfumes, alcohol, or phthalates – no wonder it earned Safer Choice Certification from the EPA! You get to choose between original, lavender, or lemon scent.

No matter how much you clean after your pets, sometimes, the smell lingers. And no one wants their home smelling like a used litter box or dog farts, especially not after putting in all that effort into keeping everything tidy. That’s where air fresheners such as this one come to the rescue – not only will it whisk away the odors, but it will diffuse a cool, citrusy aroma all over your home. The plant-based gel is completely safe and the formula is based on natural essential oils, so it contains no phthalates, triclosan, or BHT. It will work for up to 60 days and one piece covers medium-sized spaces, but since you get 6 air fresheners in the pack, you can strategically place them all over your home for absolute, lasting freshness.

If you travel with your pet in tow, your car can quickly lose that “new car smell” and adopt a, well, muskier aroma. Sharing that small space with a stinky pet isn’t all that fun, so a pet-safe car freshener is a must-have if you want to enjoy your pet’s company in the car without worrying about any odors lingering after your road trip. These eco-friendly, pet-safe, and non-toxic car fresheners are a fantastic alternative to toxic commercial options: they are made from paper, fully recyclable, and non-toxic ingredients from nature for a fragrance, to make them safe to breathe in. You get 3 packs of two slim “auto stix” fresheners, so you can customize the intensity of the fragrance – the more “stix” you hang in your car, the stronger the scent. There are 3 fragrances available – Coastal Storm + Teakwood, Black Vanilla + Mandarin, and Seaside Coconut + Verbena.

Most pet owners keep their cat’s litter box in the bathroom which can cause some pretty potent odor – but even without one in it, bathrooms are not known as the freshest-smelling place inside the home, so an air freshener is a must-have. This absorber gel air freshener is formulated to tackle the most persistent odors, including pet odors, and will fully neutralize any bad smell for up to 90 days in up to 450 square feet of space. The scent it leaves behind is a “soothing breeze” which is best described as light and pleasant. Made in the USA from plant-derived ingredients and formulated with a blend of essential oil-based fragrances, this air freshener is safe for kids and pets both.

What’s not to like about essential oils? They are completely natural, come in a ton of different scent options, the fragrance is pleasant and usually not too overpowering, and inhaling certain essential oil aromas can have certain benefits – e.g. help you relax and unwind after a long day. This air freshener spray mist is based on essential oils and contains no synthetic fragrances or toxic ingredients and can be used to scent rooms, cars, laundry, and everything else you can think of. There are 3 fragrances available, zesty lemongrass, soothing lavender, and refreshing citrus and spice – although the last one might not be the best choice for pet owners, as cinnamon can irritate some cats and dogs.

Why not get rid of odors and at the same time, airborne viruses and germs? If you want the air in your home to be truly fresh as it can be, this air purifier is the way to go. Not only it will fully neutralize any pet (and other) odors inside the house, but thanks to the UV-C light and titanium dioxide, it also eliminates airborne viruses and germs such as influenza, staph, rhinovirus, and reduces volatile organic compounds. Just plug in this filter-free air purifier and freshener and it will cover up to 56 square feet of space for a period of 10 to 12 months when it will need to be replaced.

Want to have a refreshing spritz of air freshener every now and then during the day and come home from work to an already beautifully smelling, odor-free home? An automatic air freshener such as this spray starter kit will do the job perfectly. Automatically releasing bursts of fragrance at 9, 18, or 40-minute intervals (you can choose which works best for you), this air freshener both neutralizes odors and disperses a fresh scent all over your house. You can also set the fragrance intensity at one of 3 levels so you can customize the air freshener to the smallest details.
