Skunk Deodorizer

I have a giant breed dog that took skunk spray at ground zero in the face and chest. This recipe WORKS!! Use it like a shampoo-- apply to wet dog, lather well and let sit 5 minutes and then make sure to rinse thoroughly. There was no skunk odour left when we were done.

I have personally used this recipe - double it for dogs up to 40 pounds and triple it for over 55 pounds. If your dog is a retriever or retriever mix you may need more. Sponge it in, get it to the skin and let it sit for a few minutes. What a life saver! I am now keeping the ingredients in my dog box for emergencies!

The peroxide is not good for the dogs skin. I know someone who used this, and the dogs skin actually dried out really bad, and they ended up at the vet for it. It took along time for the coat to come back as well. It also does not take the smell out. Your best bet is to call the vet for instructions.

Wow - this works great. My little Toy Poodle and my Bichon decided to play with a striped black kitty. Needless to say they didn't smell very good, but after a bath in this, they smell pretty good. Forgot to add, I heated this in the microwave so my furbabies didn't have to have a "cold" bath.

This works wonders! We applied and let sit for 20 min. Our dog is now happy and back in the house!!!

My dogs got skunked for the second time in 2 weeks tonight. This recipe is miraculous! I let it sit for a bit before rinsing. I also keep bottles of hydrogen peroxide and boxes of baking soda in my laundry room so I'm prepared. Thank you so much for posting this Claire

My dog, Popcorn, got sprayed last night. This is the same formula that my vet recommended and it works beautifully. I can't say the smell is completely gone but it's certainly mostly gone. I've just given her a final rinse with vinegar and water in hopes of reducing the last vestiges of eau de skunk.

This recipe is awesome! Last night around 11 our dog Lacy the attacked a skunk last night and was fully sprayed, as in saturated. She got into the house and managed to roll on the living room rug and my bed before I caught her. I made a batch; 1/2 for Lacy, 1/2 for my bed linens. Am making batch #2 for the rug. This stuff is miraculous! I used Ivory Soap (2T)and let it sit on the dog for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off. Thanis!

It is with regret that I have to tell you I had to USE your recipe this morning! It works like magic! I had to use double the amount because my Libby got fully sprayed! I had read too that white (basic) toothpaste applied like a paste afterwards helps with any leftover smells. Now my dog is clean and minty fresh! Now I just have to deal with the rest of the house! Thanks for posting!

While out walking this morning, one of the dogs didn't get fully sprayed but enough that you could smell him in the house. Found your recipe and applied it to him with a cloth and couldn't believe how easy this is without having to give a bath and no more smell. Thank you so much!

I use a very similar recipe for when my huskies get skunked. We try to leave it on for 5 minutes before rinsing out and washing with regular dog shampoo. 20 oz hydrogen peroxide 3/4 cup baking soda 2 squirts of liquid dish soap The baking soda doesn't all go into solution but the paste helps too.

I got this recipe from the vet. It worked like a charm on the dog and on the various surfaces and pieces of clothing he came in contact with.

I got this recipe from my vet when my brave little beagle wanted that intruder out of the yard. Had to do it a couple times(both were really stinky) I use it to whiten their white spots from time to time.

It works. NOTE. You must make it up as you need it. It cannot. I repeat cannot be stored.

Thank you SO SO much for posting this recipe. My dog got sprayed early this am and, thank God, I remembered that 'Zaar offered some potions. Did a quick search on "skunk" and this was the one I found. The great reviews encouraged me to give it a whirl. It worked just great on the dog and, later, my smelly hands. I also soaked the dog's collar in the solution & that also seems to have worked (will see tomorrow). You are a lifesaver, Claire de Luna!

This DOES work... (tomato juice did not work at all) She still had a bit of a smell on her head, but she was sprayed full on in the face, literally soaked, so I'm not sure ANYTHING could have totally gotten it out. Since I have a skunk that lives in my back yard, I have the ingredients for this stocked in my bathroom cabinet. Incidentally, the skunk odor removers I bought at the pet store didn't work either, so save yourself some money and try this first.

Your recipe was a life saver. When walking my dog he gave me a scare when he happened to grab a skunk and wouldn't let go of it. Needless to say he was totally doused. Once I regained my composure I remembered reading your recipe. I gave him two shampooings with it and the scent was nearly gone. Thanks Claire.

I have 2 labs that have the coat water-proof coats. We live on a lake and they are always in it. For some reason the thick coat somehow traps the 'lake smell' in their coats and boy do they stink! This works beautifully! I keep this recipe on my favorites because I intend to use this A LOT!!! THANK YOU!!!
