By request, we are reposting the scent article instructions.
How To Make A Scent Article For Your Pets
Scent Articles are especially helpful when there is more than one pet in the household, but we recommend that everyone have a scent article for each pet. This ensures that we have a strong individual scent for your pets when we come to search. Also, if you are traveling with your pet, be sure to take the scent articles with you in case your pup escapes while you are traveling. This is to make sure that you have a definitive scent for the missing pup so that our Bloodhounds can search for them.
These can be purchased in our store.
Supplies
A Ziplock bag for each pet
4X4 gauze pads
Pen/ Sharpie marker
