What's the best way the get rid of the stink from a skunk?

Question

My dog was sprayed, and bathing her isn't helping.

Answer 1

MIx this in a plastic pitcher and use it immediately. It foams like mad!

1 pint of hydrogen peroxide (the fist aidstuff, not hair bleach)

1 cup of baking soda

a couple teaspoons of shampoo other safe for humans soap.

Suds it all over her and leave it for a few minutes, then rinse.

Answer 2

Tomato juice or V-8 if you don't have a petsmart near by.  There is some pet shampoo specially made for removing skunk and fox odor, but I can't honestly recall the product name.  Tomato juice works fairly well.  Rub the juice into the fur with just a little dish soap (just a very small amount), and let sit for 5-10 min, and then wash out with pet shampoo and rinse the dog like normal bathing from there out.

Answer 3

i have heard that you could bathe your dog in tomatoe juice that will take the stink away . an old wives tale. dont know if it works

Answer 4

Tomato juice is about the only thing that will remove the scent.....

Answer 5

Check with your local pet store or discount store.  There are several enzyme based products that work GREAT!  You put them on the dog (soak the poor, stinky hound) let it soak in on them for like 5-10 minutes and then rinse it off.  If worst comes to worst, call your vet and ask where you can get it; they'll know!

Tomato/V-8 juice works so so.  Every time the dog gets wet for about the next 6 months, you will still smell skunk.  

The only dog I have had that got sprayed was a white cockapoo; sure couldn't use tomato juice on her, she'd have been pink! :)
