About Skout's Honor

Skout's Honor was founded in 2015 in Oceanside, California, by co-founders Pete Stirling and Macon Brock, with a mission the company sums up as making products that "change what people expect from a pet product." The line now spans cleaning, grooming, wellness, training, and flea and tick care, all manufactured in the USA and marketed under the brand's "Love in a Bottle" positioning. Skout's Honor is a certified B Corp, a designation that requires meeting independently verified standards for social and environmental performance.

The company runs a giveback program called the Paw Pledge: every bottle purchased funds a day of food for an animal in need, a model the brand describes as "Buy a Bottle, Feed an Animal." On the formulation side, three of its probiotic and prebiotic skin-care products earned "microbiome-friendly" certification from MyMicrobiome, an independent certification body.

Why we recognized Skout's Honor

The House of Mittens Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our vet-reviewed category guides. Skout's Honor earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: assessed against feline-health criteria, used with real cats, and judged on merit.

Skout's Honor products we rated highly

SKOUT'S HONOR Cat Urine and Odor Destroyer One Gallon Refill, 128 oz
Top Pick 2026

SKOUT'S HONOR Cat Urine and Odor Destroyer One Gallon Refill, 128 oz

A true 128-ounce gallon that keeps per-ounce cost low enough for repeat treatment of a concrete floor, a whole room of carpet, or the same spots every fortnight. The plant-powered formula is quick-drying with no sticky residue reported, and reviewers consistently describe complete urine breakdown rather than a temporary improvement that fades over time.

SKOUT'S HONOR Pet Laundry Booster, 32 oz
Top Pick 2026

SKOUT'S HONOR Pet Laundry Booster, 32 oz

A liquid enzyme booster formulated with no added fragrance, so cat bedding comes out of the wash smelling of nothing rather than carrying a scent that can invite re-marking. The plant-based formula is 3X concentrated for up to 32 loads per bottle, and the liquid format flushes cleanly from an HE dispenser.
