Skunked.....any advice?

[Paulie]

My parents are away and there dog (a shorthair) got skunked last night. Poor woman who is watching the dog probably is going crazy right now. Any tips on how to get rid of the smell? I know the tomatoe paste or sauce one...but do you guys know anything better?

Poor dog probably can't even take being in the basement with herself.....

Natures miracle. They sell it at the pet store. White bottle with red writing.

Yep. You can also use scent eliminator, like you do for hunting, but to bathe a dog with it might get a little pricey.

This site also recommends Natures Miracle. Interesting how it mentions not to spray the dog with water as the skunk oil will only spread. Something that makes sense but I won't have thought of.

we have used peroxide and Dawn dish liquid mix in a bottle about the size of a hair shampoo bottle half peroxide a couple table spoons or so of the Dawn and fill rest with water . shake and use on the animal , the peroxide will bring the skunk spray . (ITS A OIL ) to the serface of the hair the Dawn will cut the oil greasey skunk spray , we bring this camping with us i can not tell you how many times on the camping trips our dog has got a pole cat (skunk) sprayed, THIS was advised from OUR VET. USE A FEMALE feminane doushe for around the dogs face as that will not harm its eyes .........

I have so many comments just dying to come out right now.....

There is actually something to the vinegar! If you don't want to shell out for the Nature's Miracle, the cheapest and best solution is just a jug of white vinegar from your grocery store. It works remarkably well. Your dog will smell a bit like a salad, but better than the alternative. Just keep it out of their eyes/ears when washing them down with it.

Paulie, Make sure you don't wear your hunting clothes when you go clean up the dog...any deer down wind of you will be on red alert!!!

[Paulie]

Bird,

Don't worry about that....I enlisted my sister to do that so I don't stink for this weekend......
