(Arriving Tuesday from Houston) ROTFLMAO!!! Couldn'ta happened to a nicer guy. Thanks for brightening my day. I've used this on several dogs and it works better than tomato juice or anything else I've tried: Skunk Spray Neutralizer developed by Paul Krebaum Ingredients: * One quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide * ¼ cup of baking soda * one teaspoon of liquid dish soap (not dishwasher stuff) Directions: * Apply it to the sprayed areas. * Wash off with tap water. The solution must be mixed as needed. It can’t be contained in a bottle. |

Fast forward 12 hours.
Skunk odor is gone. Dog is okay, just a little humbler. Guess she didn't take a direct hit, just enough to hopefully get her attention. Will take all advice under advisement and file, except, of course, the usual suspects. Thanks. Steve |

(Arriving Tuesday from Houston) For the house, I don't know, but to remove skunk odor from humans and animals, mix together: 1 pint hydrogen peroxide (3% solution, the most common) 1/2 cup baking soda 1 teaspoon liquid dishwashing detergent The detergent merely keeps the baking soda from settling. Bathe the pet or human with it, but do not mix these ingredients together before use or store any leftover amount since they can explode in storage. Flush any excess down the toilet, and rinse out the container. |

(Arriving Tuesday from Houston) groan Steve Bath the dog in store brand tomato juice. It really does work. Before we learned about the hydrogen-peroxide/baking soda/shampoo concoction, we tried the tomato juice trick on our late great collie, Zeffie. A word from the wise - do not use "country-style" tomato juice. Country style juice is thicker & contains pulp which we learned gets caught up tight in collie fur. Even though we rinsed her well, for weeks afterwards I was pulling tomato pulp bits out of her coat. As well the tomato juice stained her white ruff fur pink. So while it did work in that she smelled better, I found some definite downsides to tomato juice. Chris |
