My dog met a skunk , what can I do now ?

Question

She smells bad ,but I can't /wont let her stay outside, because she is an indoor dog and not used to it.

I tried the tomato trick but it is not working . Any ideas ?

Answer 1

I have heard about the following recipe:

Mix in a bucket

1 quart 3 percent hydrogen peroxide

1/4 cup baking soda

1 teaspoon liquid soap (Dawn)

Wear gloves so you won't smell like skunk. Wet the dog and put the mix on the dog - work it into the fur - leave it on for five to ten minutes  and then rinse thoroughly. You can do it a second time but do not keep the leftovers.  I'd love to know if it works - I've been lucky that my dogs haven't met a skunk yet.  

Answer 2

Skunk Off brand shampoo and dip, available at your local vet. you can drop the dog off for the day and they can take care of her there. it work great for our clients.

Answer 3

you can get a special shampoo called DeSkunk at pet co or a tractor supply store its not called deskunk at tractor supply but it does say skunk on the bottle. our pit had the same thing happen i swear its been 3 years and it took us getting new carpet and furniture to FINALLY get the smell out

Answer 4

1 quart of hydrogen peroxide

1/4 cup baking soda

1 teaspoon of liquid dish detergent

mix together and apply for 5 minutes

rinse and repeat

best of luck
