My dog got sprayed by a skunk last year. My friends told me to use tomato juice, orange juice, or use coke. Well i decided not to use tomato juice cause my dog is white. So i used coke. I washed him then coked him, i did that 3 times. my dog was in the house that day. I was amazed on how well it worked.

How do you get skunk oder out of fabrics like coats (leather).

This is for people like some of my neighbors who have not trained their dogs to come inside let alone stand still for an intense body bath.

If Cesar the dog whisperer isn’t a close friend, you might have to think this one out ahead of time because you will have to be able to mix all of those chemicals (just joking) together without drinking the orange juice, anointing Mr. Jencks without getting the smell on yourself and to find three fearless friends with no sense of smell.

If your dog has passed a six pack of obedience classes you are lucky.

1st tip, remember that the skunk smell stayed on because… it was the first thing to soak into the dry hair. So in removing the smell, apply a STRONG good smell directly to the affected area first! Then, use the processes above… Dry the dog VERY WELL, and repeat the exact process again if the smell persisted. But I’d use a good smelling quality dog shampoo, not dish soap, PLEASE! You may create more problems for your pet and your vet bill! The peroxide, B. Soda, Soda pop, are all safe. As far as getting the smell out of your house. Can’t help ya! Sorry! Nose plugs!

Good luck!

The best product I found for getting rid of skunk odors is BioWorld’s BON-CC-41. It worked great. I had tried many products before I finally gave up and tried this one. I had to have it shipped so it did take some time to get it. The other solutions helped to reduce the odors but it did not eliminate it completely. BioWorld worked like a charm! It is completely safe to use on dogs. I was concerned about the eyes since she was sprayed around the face but BioWorld told me that it will not damage it. It is even safer than shampoo and will not do any damage! I LOVE this product! I even use it around the house, like on the carpet and in the laundry!

I have two cats and have tried everything. I recently found an amazing new product called Room Shocker. It not only took the urine smell out but it also helped with my husband’s allergies. It seems that it completely purifies the air and eliminates any severe bad odors right at the source. I ordered it online from a website called BiocideSystems.com. The best part was I didn’t have to scrub anything. Very low maintenance just leave it in a room for a few hours, come back and the smell is gone!

This product seems to work well for all severe bad odors.

In his vigilence to protect house and home, Zeus, our husky/border collie cross was skunked at 4:10 yesterday morning. Having being skunked prior to Zues,I reached for the cure we used last time, which was toothpaste and a soft toothbrush, which has worked in the past, but depending on size and hair type, you go through a lot of toothpaste! So Zeus was coke-bathed a few times during the day and it has taken the majority of the smell away…a little remains around his snout, but think that might have something to do with the coke being licked as we bathed. Have heard good things about the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide concoction.

I do not have a tip but a question! My Akita got sprayed by a skunk about a week ago and i tried the dawn dish soap and dag shampoos.. Does anyone know if its too late to get the remaining smell out?

Dogs and skunks. What a wonderful combination to bring nature into the house. Well, a very light hint of skunk odor would smell like freshly brewing Starbucks but this is one I wouldn’t want to get myself close to. My Chihuahua was one brave dog: No skunks left behind. Well, she got behind. Now, it’s a skunk nation in the house. So we stay in the out-house.

Thank you, I have searched different places for deskunking the odor and seems like Peroxide + Soap + baking soda mixture has been the popular suggestion. Or else, I’ll go to Petsmart for some deskunking solution for my dog. And for myself.

My dog got sprayed about midnight tonight. I’ve tried tomato juice, the peroxide mixture, regular dog shampoo, soda, and everything in between. Nothing works. He still smells and now my house does too.
I’m going to the store tomorrow to buy some Nature’s Miracle. If it works, it’s well worth the money. I HATE SKUNKS!!!!!!!!!

jothenia u probably should take him or her to the vet. Hopefully they will be able to take out the musk from the dogs eyes. if it was my dog i would take him to the vet

my dog got sprayed this mornin and i used viniger and shampoo and it worked

My Sheltie got nailed by a skunk at 6:oo am this morning! Went to Wal-Mart and got peroxide, baking soda, cheap mint mouthwash and cheap dog shampoo. Dilute the baking soda in hot water. Add the peroxide, some shampoo, mint mouthwash and cold water to make the solution a tolerable temperature for the pooch. Wash and rinse….over and over until no odor is detected. (do all this outside if possible!) Once done, wash the dog in all dog shampoo. I took the dog for a long walk until dry. This work great!!!

You can also use Selsun Blue or other dandruff shampoo on your animal as a follow up to the tomato juice or peroxide/soda bath. It works great. Now another question. My dog was sprayed last night and was let in the house before realizing the smell. It was really bad. Made your lungs burn and eyes water. We did the whole baking soda and peroxide thing followed by dandruff shampoo and he is fine. The house is another story. It is horrible. We did everything - burned candles for two hours, baking soda and Febreeze on every surface, washed clothes, bleached the whole bathroom where we bathed the dog. Woke up this morning after cleaning until 1 in the morning to skunk smell. More suggestions?

My dog got sprayed the other night by a squnk and I recommend the baking soda and peroxide with soap it worked awesome. It took the foul smell away.

try a product called shake-away. it is made of fox urine granules…I know it sounds aweful, but it works like a charm. A lesson I learned though…I put it down too early and the spring rains washed it away. You should wait until july to put it down…and buy extra to put down again in september.

Peroxide,baking soda & dish soap work great on dog’s coat.DO NOT let dog in house!!!!

At 4oclock this morning, a skunk bombed my whole house. yuck!! My dog got sprayed and ran around the whole house! When I went to school the next day, everyone could notice the smell. Horrible day. To help get the odor out is if you put atleast 5 plates or bowls of ground coffee in each of the rooms then that should clear up in one day with all the windows WIDE open.

Everybody always says to bathe in tomato juice to get rid of the skunk smell, but how are you supposed to get rid of the tomato smell???

Ok heres the best way to get rid of the smell of skunk out of your house…trust me this works. We had one that sprayed under our house right by our floor furnise, it was so bad we had to leave our house for 2 days it was still unbearable. I called the local zoo and asked them what to do, they told me that smoke was a nutralizer for skunk smell. They told me to place a fan in the window blowing air into the house place a bar b que pit or grill as close to the house as i could so it was safe anough not to burn my house down. Be sure to use wood not carcoal,place fans throghout the house to pull the smoke into all the rooms.Your house may smell like you a fireplace burning thats better than skunk any day. Put some ribs on that grill too..that way dinners done too lol
