Why does VetiOx Odor Eliminator work better than other odor eliminators?
For our customers that want the simple answer:
Simply put the reason why VetiOx Odor Eliminator is better than competing products is that it actually does what it is says it will do. The technology behind it is called oxidation, specifically selective oxidation. VetiOx Odor Eliminator uses this process to physically change the chemistry of the odor causing culprits. Some competitors attempt to use oxidation as the method to destroy odors but they cannot match the safety or oxidative capacity that VetiOx provides. Until now this oxidative process has not been available for use in animal care.
For the chemistry enthusiasts, the scientific answer:
VetiOx Odor Eliminator utilizes patented chemistry from ReliOx Corporation. As the fluid in the bottle passes through the generator cartridge the bonds of the salts are broke and VetiOx Odor Eliminator is released.
Is VetiOx Odor Eliminator the same as bleach?
It is not bleach. It is not chlorine (as commonly defined). It is similar to the selective oxidizers used as EPA approved disinfectants used to clean municipal drinking water and that eliminate biofilms the water.
It is a non-persistent selective oxidizer that is extremely reactive (oxidative) when produced. Due to its reactivity once created, it rapidly loses its effectiveness and because of this reactivity it only takes a few minutes of contact time to destroy all odors. This fast reactivity is so short that it has little to no effect on living tissues and as it reacts it returns to salt and water.
What are the advantages of VetiOx for pet owners, veterinarians and groomers?
Pet and animal odors are a nuisance to humans but are important to animals in many ways.
In removing nuisance pet odor VetiOx Odor Eliminator has no equal as it destroys the odors by chemically changing them.
Pet and animal odors that are created as a result of normal animal response to stress, anxiety and fear, as well as reproductive processes, are both a nuisance and a stimulant to other nearby animals to respond similarly. Removing odor and scents from the clinic, service area and home is important to reduce animal anxiety and improve upon the clinic and grooming experience.
VetiOx is the most effective odor eliminator that uses oxidation to destroy odor and scents. Other odor products focus on the human response to the odor and in doing so rely on masking or attempting to encapsulate the odor or scent. Harsher products that use disinfectants are potentially harmful to both humans and animals when they come into contact with them physically and through inhalation.
The reaction time of VetiOx Odor Eliminator is so fast it does not harm soft or hard surfaces as well as animals or humans. It is fast, safe and extremely effective. What more could you want?
Why is this Green Chemistry technology available now?
VetiOx Odor Eliminator was created using ReliOx technology. ReliOx technology is the invention of the University of Florida scientists that was originally developed for the United States Department of Defense for chemical neutralization. The lessons learned from that research resulted in technology that has a very important place in animal care. Our technology uses and follows all 12 of the Green Chemistry principles in our research, development and production.
“Green Chemistry reduces toxicity, minimizes waste, saves energy, and cuts down on the depletion of natural resources. It allows for advances in chemistry to occur in a much more environmentally benign way.”

Is it safe and non- toxic?
First, yes, it is both safe and non-toxic. You may add environmentally safe and recyclable to this as well.
Why is it an advantage that it is patented?
Being patented ensures that that the inventions have been rigorously examined and found to be unique and worthy of patent protection. Only products that utilize ReliOx technology can meet the high level of performance of VetiOx products.
Can I use this on my pet’s fur? In their litter box? In their cage?
Yes, yes and yes. When applying VetiOx Odor Eliminator to the pet always keep the spray away from eyes, nose and mouth. Otherwise contact with the animal is fine.
Litter boxes are a source of a tremendous amounts of odor from urine and feces as well as chemicals that may be an ingredient in the litter being used. VetiOx Odor Eliminator will reduce these odors through oxidation. As there is a lot going on chemically in the litter box, it may take several applications to eliminate the odor. Cages are a great place to use the product. Ensure soiled bedding and toys are removed from cages before treating. Wash and treat these separately.
How long will the odor stay away? Do I have to use it daily?
The odor will be gone and will not return unless the area is once again soiled or marked.
I need more than just a spray bottle. Is there an industrial size version of VetiOx spray?
There is a unit that produces up to 30 gallons of product ready to use in your sprayer, fogger or other device. Contact VetiOx reseller for more information.
Why is this better than an enzyme alternative?
Enzymes are biological compounds that increase the speed at which other smelly biological substances like starches, oils, fats, and proteins break down, so you can wipe away messes easily.
The best answer is that as enzyme alternatives attempt to change the odor causing elements into non or less odiferous elements there often remains an odor. It is up to the human and the animal to decide if the odor continues to be offensive or not. VetiOx Odor Eliminator leaves nothing behind other than water and salt.
Where can I buy it? What if I want to distribute or sell it at my store?
It is available through many on-line stores and distributors as well as independent pet and animal retailers and wholesale outlets. If it is not in the store you frequent please let them know you would like them to start carrying VetiOx Odor Eliminator.
I received the product and I cannot get it to spray. Am I doing something wrong?
We are sorry if you are having trouble with the spray bottle. If after you have unscrewed the spray nozzle 1 and 1/2 turns and pumped the trigger handle and still have not been able to draw fluid up the spray wand, bypass the generator cartridge and prime the spray head. Once primed, reinsert the generator cartridge between the spray head and the wand / dip tube. You should be good to go!
