When I got up this morning, I found my spouse crouched naked in the bathroom, slathering the dog in tomato paste. Doggo is shaking and splattering the walls red like a murder scene.

"We were out of tomato soup" was the explanation.

Either I need to go grocery shopping or doggo FAFO that skunks are not breakfast.

Dude lol use a bottle of peroxide, like a tablespoon or two of dawn dish soap and a box of baking soda. Mix it together, you can heat it slightly in the microwave as well, just don't burn the doggo.

Rub that all over the dog. Wait 5min and rinse him off.

Instantly skunk smell gone. No paste, no tomatoes, no more smell.

Use fabreze. I promise it works. It has enzymes that consume whatever causes the smell. It is the commercial product of military developed scent masking for troops dropped behind enemy lines.

That febreeze shit is deadly.

I did the peroxide thing once when my doggie got skunked and it bleached his fur -- I guess it helped the smell but not a good look

Odd, my dogs are brindle and black and white and tan, none of those has any sign of bleaching. The smell definitely disappeared though. Haven't used anything else since, do it roughly 3x a year.

Gonna bleach the doggos hair a little bit no?

No it doesn't bleach or damage the animal. There is a science to it, I'm just not the scientist to explain it.

Something about inverting amino acids or some shit. What I can say though, I do it roughly 3x a year and it's been a game changer.

peroxide, like Hydrogen peroxide? H2O2? and whats the consistency of this shit sounds like it'd be paste like with all that baking soda...

[–] 0 pt

Yep peroxide. The baking soda dissolves, the soap is purely for smell. It's literally like soapy water, maybe a tiny grit but not bad.

Yeah, did that once I was awake enough to process what was going on. Doggo smells better now.

Happened to a dog I had. He ran into the house and skunk funk was literally dripping off his cheek and he was wiping it everywhere.

There is a claim that this stuff works for all odors including skunk. Has anyone tried it? (It seems a bit pricey).

Had a look at the website - i automatically dislike any product that i can't find out what it actually contains - 'Pooph™ is a proprietary blend of minerals all of which each can be found in your average daily multivitamin. There are NO harsh chemicals and it is approved non-toxic and meets GRAS Standards according to the US Code of Federal Registrar Section 21.' - i dont care - i just wanna know exaCTLY WHAT IM BUYING AND USING, SHEESH.

I agree, I haven't bought any of the stuff, largely for that same reason. They claim it's completely non-toxic but (???). Still, I wonder how well it really works.

[–] 0 pt

Yea, i mean it could well work excellent, however simply by not knowing exactly what it is and how - i'm out. Same with food i buy - unless i know exactly what is in it - ima pass on it.

That was a fucked up read

i wash with vinegar and dawn dishwashing soap, maybe a splash of peroxide. Some skunk soap recipes call for peroxide, but it can bleach fur, as someone said previously in this post.

Dawn & Hydrogen Peroxide ended up doing the trick. Doggo looks like his fur may have bleached a few shades lighter, but that's no big deal.

No worries of rabies infested skunks in your area?

Doggo isnt smart enough to actually eat wildlife, just bark at it until it sprays him.

That’s good. Hopefully that cured ol’ doggo of even get’n close to one in the future.
