If you're reading this your canine buddy has probably had a close encounter with a ticked off skunk and you are wondering how you will ever get that skunk smell out of your dog.
Or maybe you remembered what your Grandma told you about using tomato juice as a quick fix and so you poured a quart of Campbell's over Fido only to discover that you now have a pink dog that smells like a skunk.
How bad is that?
Are you ready for the sure fire skunk smell removal formula?
Here you go. Hopefully you have these ingredients on hand but if you don't, don't worry as I'll give you a back up plan later in the article.
In a large open container mix the following:
One quart 3% hydrogen peroxide.
One quarter cup of baking soda.
One teaspoon of dishwashing detergent. ( Dawn if you have it. That's what they use to de-gunk water fowl when they get caught in an oil spill)
One clothespin for your nose (optional)
Pour a little on Fido and work up a lather. Keep pouring and working until he is entirely covered. Make sure you keep the lather from getting in or near his eyes. Let him sit for about five minutes then thoroughly rinse and repeat if necessary.
Voila, skunk smell gone!
When you're done with the mixture throw it away. Do not seal it up in a container as it is likely to explode. That's right, I said explode. That's why you use an open container and I'm guessing that's why nobody has tried to sell this commercially as it would be a tough sell if the bottles kept blowing up.
OK so what if you are missing one or more of the required agreements. What do you do then to get the skunk smell out of your dog?
Toothpaste. Yep toothpaste and I hope you have a small breed dog or you're going to need more than one tube. Rub the toothpaste in and work it into the hair over all the affected areas. Do not rinse, let it dry. Eventually it will turn brittle and fall off. I'm not sure what's in the toothpaste but it absorbs the skunk smell and leaves your dog smelling minty clean.
So now you know the two best ways to get the skunk smell out of your dog. What are you waiting for? Get out that mixing bowl.
