I would not use any type of spray that is not animal safe. Sprays will only mask the odor for a short period of time, so I feel it's not worth the expense.

I wouldnt go to that extent but putting it on the rep might be fine. What does everyone think.

(maybe that would also help to smeared poo they put in the mesh! lol) and i have a handheld steamer i use, it helps a lot, but it stills smells funny! the febreeze worked awesome on the smell, but if vin. is safer, ill use it!!! ~ERIN~ momma to:ceasar(boxer),Chili(pug),Badcat(black cat) and Juliette(ragamuffin)~Appleand Archerand George MichealMaybeand Jasper ,husband Jordan and daughter Azlyn!
