My dog got sprayed by another skunk this morning, making it the third or fourth time in the last two years….apparently, this dog really loves skunks.
Here’s the skunk shampoo recipe we used (from http://www.bathgifts.us/pets/antiskunk_shampoo.htm)
Caution: peroxide may lighten dark coat colors.
* 1 quart hydrogen peroxide
(make sure you are using hydrogen peroxide)
* 1/4 cup baking soda
* 1 teaspoon liquid soap
* ix well and shampoo.
BEFORE trying this, gather ingredients (do not mix), put dog in tub, make all preparations ready. You can mix the soap and peroxide together but as soon as you add the baking soda it starts to fizz. Sponge it on while it’s very active, with special drenching of identifiable skunked areas, then lather and leave it in for a while and rinse.
