If your dog has been sprayed by a skunk the best home made recipe to remove the skunk odour is as follows: • 1 quart 3 percent hydrogen peroxide • 1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) • 1 teaspoon liquid soap or dish detergent Mix these ingredients and bathe the dog. Be careful not to get this mixture in to the dog’s eyes. Use a facecloth to carefully wash the dog’s face. Do not wet the dog first. Do not add any water. You don’t want to dilute the mixture. To thoroughly remove the skunk odour ensure the mixture is on the pet for at least 5 minutes. Be certain to get the mixture right down to the skin. Then rinse the dog thoroughly with water. To further remove the skunk odour and any residue from the above mixture wash the dog with dog shampoo working the shampoo well into the skin and hair to lift any oils. Then rinse thoroughly and apply conditioner. For larger dogs mix several batches. This mixture is not stable and must be used immediately. DO NOT store the mixture in an airtight container. It produces oxygen and may cause the container to split open. Any dog that would normally get its hair trimmed can be sent to the groomer after it has been bathed to have the hair removed that has been affected by the skunk odour. This recipe can also be used to remove skunk odour from people and exterior of buildings – shed, deck, patio furniture. This mixture may bleach surfaces – your pet’s hair, wood, etc. Test an area first. Do not use on your clothing.
