The following is a recipe for a mixture that is amazing at removing
skunk smell. The important thing is to use it
BEFORE washing the dog with shampoo, tomato juice or even
plain water, these tend to "set" the skunk smell on the dog and make it
more difficult to remove.
2 tablespoons dishwashing liquid
Depending on the size of the dog, you may need to double or even
quadruple this recipe. Mix everything together in a large bottle or small
pail then apply to the dog, massaging it in well and making sure to get it
right down to the skin. Let it sit for about 10 minutes then rinse
thoroughly. You may still detect a slight skunk odor while the dog is wet
but it should smell
MUCH better once dry!
If there is any left-over solution, just pour it down the drain as the
reaction between the peroxide and baking soda does not last very long.
Whatever you do, do not try to bottle it and
save it for next time, the chemical reaction that occurs can cause the
container to explode!
