  Got Pets? Red Rocket Pets' Patented TWIST’R® Technology Locks Out Pet Odors For Good Las Vegas, NV (January 2026) —  Across millions of American homes, the joy of pet parenting comes with a stubborn and often embarrassing downside: lingering odors that refuse to disappear. In a recent report cited by The New York Times, nearly 79% of U.S. pet owners say their home has a noticeable pet smell, with almost half told outright that their space reeks of pet urine or litter box odors.¹ With roughly two-thirds of U.S. households owning at least one pet, odor control has evolved into a widespread quality-of-life issue rather than a minor inconvenience.
