Removing skunk oder from dogs
1 pint hydrogen peroxide per dog
1 pint hydrogen peroxide per dog
1/2 cup baking soda per dog
Mix the peroxide and baking soda into a thin paste. Smear it on the dog, paying particular attention to the mouth, nose, chin and chest. That's where the skunk will touch them if they're shaking it with their mouths. a little on the front legs doesn't hurt. Don't use it all in the first dose, reserve a little for a second dose if need be.
Skip the whole tomato juice nonsense.

We had a white dog once that got into it with a skunk. We did the tomato juice thing. Got a pink dog. Didn't work very well.
One of our cats got into a skunk this winter. It was potent. One of the suggestions we got was lysterine. Being a cat, I never got around to giving him a lysterine bath, he just had to stay outside. The traces were on him for at least a month. Interestingly, though, the skunk has not come back. I am surprized my 10 pound cat can frighten off a full grown skunk.
Is that what was going up in smoke at your place yesterday at about 5pm? It was the first time I'd seen a fire/smoke on your farm, and it did carry a particular... Um... eu de resistance....
What happened to the old 'tomato juice' bath for skunk? (or is that just a Canadian thing).
Having tried both the tomato juice thing and hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, the tomato juice thing didn't work, even after 4 applications. The peroxide/soda combo worked, and the next time I just went straight to that and it worked great.
mythbusters also tested and confirmed its efficacy.
