If your lovable pet gets together with a skunk, you need to deal quickly with the stinky consequences. We'd always heard that a tomato juice bath would do the trick, but after a bit of research, we found a far more effective way to rid your canine companion of the wretched skunk smell. We visited PetEducation.com, Discovery Canada, and eHow. Each offered roughly the same recipe: - 1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1 teaspoon dish-washing detergent
After mixing the ingredients, wash the areas that have been sprayed, taking care to avoid the pet's eyes,
ears, and mouth. To finish, simply rinse your pet with water. Two of the sites confirm that tomato juice works to neutralize the effects of the skunk odor, but it's not as effective as the above-mentioned remedy. In addition, if skunks are a persistent problem, commercial skunk-odor removers are available.
