If you've ever had a dog that decided to pick a fight with a skunk
you know that the outcome can be rather unpleasant for your dog, and the rest
of the family. Tomato Juice and pet
store shampoos don’t work but I have a home remedy that is sure to take that
smell right off. The recipe consists of only three very common household items. The
ingredients are:
1 Qt 3%
hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda
1 tsp. liquid soap
1/4 cup baking soda
1 tsp. liquid soap
Mix the ingredients together in a container, wet your dog and then slowly pour the mixture over your dog while rubbing it into the fur. I recommend letting it sit for a few minutes before rinsing. Make sure to rinse well! For dogs over 50 pounds I recommend doubling the amounts shown above.
Although the ingredients are not dangerous, care should obviously be taken to keep the solution out of your dog's eyes, ears and mouth. Also remember that hydrogen peroxide can bleach clothing and hair, however, I was told that it will not change the color of your dogs fur.
If you have the skunk smell lingering in your house I recommend
boiling apple cider vinegar on the stove.
