The accumulation of ammonia in animal stalls has been proven to stress the upper respiratory airways of animals placing them at risk to pneumonia and heaves (an asthma-like lung condition). Foals and other baby animals are especially vulnerable. Sweet PDZ absorbs ammonia thus, lessens the danger. Sweet PDZ is all natural, non-toxic, and non-hazardous. It is safe to handle and will to burn as does hydrated lime. Animals need not be removed from stalls, pens, or cages when applying Sweet PDZ. This product works very effectively in cat boxes, dog kennels, rabbit hutches, chicken coops, ratite runs and all small animal habitats. Sweet PDZ works equally well with shavings, straw, sawdust and other types of bedding. It can be used equally effective on dirt, wood, concentrate and rubber mats, making this product ideal to use in animal trailers. Unlike lime, Sweet PDZ is pH neutral and can be used as mulch and fertilizer in planting areas.
