So your dog has been skunked. Now what?
First, please don’t use tomato juice. for skunk spray removal. This is an old myth and you will end up with your dog smelling like rotten eggs and tomato juice. Ugh!
Here’s the best recipe for de-skunking your dog, or you for that matter.
Dog Skunk Shampoo
1 qt 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
1/2 C baking soda
1 t liquid soap
Mix all these together and shampoo your dog with it and then rinse well. You may need to repeat it several times. Your dog may still smell, especially when it gets wet, but it will be a big improvement.
If your pet is in any kind of distress such as vomiting, call your vet or emergency clinic.
