Abstract

Abstract A pet house including means for distributing deodorizer throughout the pet house and means for retaining the odors and deodorizer smell within the confines of the pet house. An electric powered fan may circulate and distribute deodorizer. Deodorant may be a solid, a semi-solid, or a liquid deodorizer fed through a wick from a container supplied with liquid deodorant, or deodorizer may be automatically dispensed by a timed aerosol dispenser. The top of the pet house which is removeable serves to retain the odors and deodorizer smell within the pet house and to prevent contamination of the ambient atmosphere. Removal of the top of the pet house affords ready access to the interior of the pet house for purposes of cleaning, changing cat litter absorbent material, changing batteries in the deodorizer unit, and adding deodorant. The deodorizer unit is attached to the inside of the pet house.
