Getting Rid of that Awful Skunk Smell on Your Dog


 
Whether your dog has actually come into contact with a skunk or was just walking the wrong place at the wrong time really doesn’t matter once he comes in covered with the stench of skunk. It’s too late to figure out what happened. The best you can do is try to get rid of the smell and all traces of the incident. Contrary to popular belief, however, giving your dog a bath in tomato juice probably won’t cut it. Spraying your dog with citrus scents or pet perfumes probably won’t cover the smell either. Some what can be done? You can try a home remedy solution to de-skunk your dog. Mix 1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of vet approved liquid soap. Soak him in water and then work the mix into a thick lather. Rinse him after 3 to 5 minutes. Consult your animal hospital Glen Ellyn, IL for more tips. Make an appointment today!
