Sweet PDZ ® is non-toxic and non-hazardous. From the time Sweet PDZ ® is applied until it is disposed of on a garden, field or compost pile, it is safe to handle. Moreover, it will not crack hoofs nor burn footpads. Ammonia is a serious threat to a horse’s respiratory airways. It weakens and limits airway defense mechanisms that are meant to protect the lungs, and ultimately limits their ability to function properly. Ammonia directly contributes to a variety of respiratory diseases, such as, Heaves, RAO, IAD, and COPD. If you smell ammonia in your horse or pet environment… you have more than an odor problem… you have a health problem. Recycle Sweet PDZ ® after use by applying the bedding that contains Sweet PDZ ® to gardens, pastures or compost. It serves as a slow release nitrogen/potassium fertilizer. This process also enhances the composting process. Sweet PDZ ® removes ammonia from the air by adsorption, a process in which the ammonia molecule sticks to the granules. Additionally, the ammonium in the urine is trapped within the molecules of Sweet PDZ ® by an exchange of ions and thus, held harmless by an ionic bond. The result is a fresh and healthy stall environment. Sweet PDZ ® is unscented. Some other products add masking agents which try to cover up odors with a scent of their own. They don’t address the problem, they hide it! Sweet PDZ ® dries as it deodorizes. See how the moisture is absorbed as the Sweet PDZ ® is applied and how the effectiveness re- mains even when the granules have reached their moisture retention capacity. Sweet PDZ ® is more effective than lime. Hydrated Lime is caustic, dusty and irritating. It dries and cracks hoofs and burns tender foot pads. Barn Lime has very little effect in even covering up the odor, much less absorbing it. You will only need about one-third as much Sweet PDZ ® as hydrated lime and even less Sweet PDZ ® relative to barn lime. The Bottom Line – Sweet PDZ ® is an economical treatment for your odor problems that extends bedding life, reduces fly population and eases clean up. The result is a healthier, cleaner environment for your horses with less labor, at a lower cost. Steelhead Specialty Minerals 1212 N.

Sweet PDZ ODOr COntrOl serves to eliminate urine and defecation odors as well as ”doggie
odors.” Great for treating covered or exposed dog runs. Scatter the granules in a light but
visible coverage over the area of habitual urination or defecation. Treat area frequently or as needed for complete odor control. For “doggie odors” place under the dog’s bedding or in pillow.
For caged birds, such as canaries or parrots, sprinkle Sweet PDZ ODOr COntrOl lightly in cage bottom; placing the granules primar-
ily under roosting area. Treat area frequently or as needed for complete odor control.
Caged & Housed BirdsDogs
For persistent dampness in large untraveled areas such as crawl spaces, place Sweet PDZ ODOr COntrOl at the approximate rate of 5 lbs. per 100 square feet. The granules will continue to absorb moisture and odors as long as dampness persists. For comprehensive and ongoing odor control, apply additional Sweet PDZ periodically.
Musty, Damp & Mildew Odors
Lightly cover the bottom of cage with Sweet PDZ ODOr COntrOl before placing bedding. For use with
catch pans, place a proportion-ately greater amount of the granules where pets are known to urinate. Treat area frequently or as needed for complete odor control.
Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Gerbils, Mice, & Rats
Use Sweet PDZ ODOr COntrOl in combination with kitty litter for complete odor protection. For best results, scatter 1/4 to 1/2 cup over litter every few days or as needed. You may also wish to cover the bottom of your litter box with Sweet PDZ ODOr COntrOl when you replace your litter.
Cats
Place a small pile of Sweet PDZ ODOr COntrOl in the corners of the animal’s
cage. Do not scatter the granules about habitat as the drying quality may be uncomfortable to reptiles and amphibians. Treat area frequently or as needed for complete odor control.
Snakes, Lizards,Iguanas & Turtles Outhouse odors can be controlled in the same manner as
animal odors. Use Sweet PDZ ODOr COntrOl in place of hydrated lime. Sweet PDZ is not a bactericide, but has three times the odor control capacity than that of hydrated lime. Treat area frequently or as needed.
Outhouses
Pet Mistakes
Because Sweet PDZ ODOr COntrOl is 100% natural, bed-ding and litter material containing these granules can be used as mulch in planting areas or composted. Nitrogen from the absorbed ammonia will be gradually released into the soil as fertilizer. This process also enhances the composting process.
Disposal As Fertilizer
Sweet PDZ ODOr COntrOl works very well for drying out and eliminating odors
caused by pet “mistakes,” regardless of the area being wet, dry, new or old. The granules will work safely on all types of carpet, flooring, furnishings and fabrics. Just cover the area with a light but visible amount and it will begin to work immediately. Vacuum up after odor is eliminated. Depending on the extent of the wetness, an additional treatment may be necessary and/or you may want to keep the area of treatment covered with Sweet PDZ for a longer period of time.

Horses of each breed and animals of every species show a surprising range of ammonia production due to differences in activity and eliminative behavior. The quantity of Sweet PDZ ® to be used, therefore, will depend upon specific conditions.
A guideline for a standard 12'x12' horse stall is to simply sprinkle 5-6 cups on the surface of the stall area, with heaviest treatment where urination is concentrated. Then, as part of daily stall maintenance, remove saturated bed-ding material as usual. Sprinkle wet spots with a sufficient amount (generally 1-3 cups) of Sweet PDZ®, and move dry bedding from along walls to center of stall.
Because of their urination habits, some horses, llamas and alpacas, as well as some other animals, can be discouraged from using a given area and to change locations with the use of Sweet PDZ®. To do so, remove dung and dig up saturated area to spade depth, mix Sweet PDZ® in ratio of 1 part Sweet PDZ® to 3 parts dirt. Repack the area and lightly sprinkle Sweet PDZ® over slightly greater area than spaded.
