I always had success with tomato juice, sauce was too thick. Had to really work it into the coat and let it stay a bit. Sorry you're dealing with this Wear old clothes that you can toss when done. Make sure you let us know how it went... Pics would be good too, not like you'll have your hands full or anything

Hahaha thanks! I picked up tomato sauce, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and dish soap for this..... He rolled in the snow a lot last night and kinda died it down... Or maybe I am immune to it now.....

I've heard that letting the dog dry and then washing with dish soap works, but since we've only had one dog ever get skunked, I can't know for sure it works.

This is something I really should know but don't, sorry.

Dear, sweet Rumely! He really needs to learn the difference between kitties and Pepe le Pew (of course, Pepe never has learned).

Best of luck with the deodorizing. I've always heard tomato juice is the way to go. Let us know how it works for you.

Well, I got home Friday and he had rolled around in the snow a ton for my husband. His smell is dissipating without interference from us, chemicals or anything else. We do know we smell the skunk somewhere near or on the property.... Still. So, we know it is dead and he simply rolled in it dead. Not actually sprayed. That's probably what saved us. Oh, but he's also rolling in dead fish. Score one for the rummers! Some days I wonder what the animals will do next. Then they do it and I'm afraid to know how they'll top it the time after.

Just remember that skunk odor reacts to water. When you bath him it will intensify again.

Two weeks after Karmawas sprayed he ran through the pond. Wet, skunk smelling dog was a long drive home.

Oh, yuck. I feel for you @Ferguson K

Yesterday we welcomed home Scarlet and her 4 weeks old baby boy (not yet named). Two purebred and fully papered Nubians.

They seem to be settling in ok as of this morning and are getting used to the dogs. They are extremely friendly and happy.
