NOPEE is the ONLY patented, permanent solution to indoor dog and cat peeing/marking. Our product is revolutionary, pet and child safe. Unlike other products on the market that require re-application (daily or more often), NOPEE bags are placed on the spot a pet has marked and are left there for the time pets need to stop revisiting the spot to pee. No re-application is needed. NOPEE utilizes a unique, layered, two-pronged approach in combining deodorizers and a fresh fragrance. This approach deodorizes the smells left behind by your pet and substitutes a fresh smell which your pet will be met with each time they pass through the area. This easy-to-use application, which requires no re-application, provides long-lasting and effective protection.NOPEE uses powders to dissuade pets from revisiting areas previously marked. The powders enable the NOPEE bag to stay effective from the moment it is removed from the plastic pouch and lasts for up to six months protecting about a 3’ radius. The bag is constructed using two layers of cloths making the bags durable for the typical household. NOPEE’s two layers of cloth in each bag, also makes the product durable for puppies to older dogs. Because there are powders within the bag, should pets pick up the bag, they will taste the powders which are safe but unpleasant. The bags’ smell will deter pets from engaging as the fresh scent does not resemble the smell of pet toys.NOPEE is sold for $11.99 retail. The price is considerably less than sprays that become less and less effective upon contact with a surface as it begins to dry. Price comparisons reveal sprays retail between $13.99 and $17.99. NOPEE remains effective as soon as it is removed from the plastic pouch, stays effective for up to 6 months and protects approximately a 3’ radius, and is safe for every member of the household!
