Captain belongs to my husband's cousin, Tammy, who lives in southern Idaho. The other day, Tammy wrote on Facebook that Captain had been spayed by a skunk and she was looking for anything that could take that horrible skunk smell away.
A friend of hers, Jan, wrote in to Tammy that 1 Quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide mixed with a quarter cup of baking soda and a teaspoon of liquid detergent would do the trick. Don't wet the dog, just sponge the mixture on and rinse off. Jan swore it would work.
Tammy tried the mixture and was thrilled to report it worked 100%!
Thanks Jan. Great idea!
Have you tried this concoction? If you have a sure fire remedy, please share it with the rest of us!
Darlene, my wife, cut this same formula out of a garden mag the other day. We never saw a skunk in my part of Baltimore County until last year when a few of them showed up and my neighbors lab got skunked twice in two weeks (no Gordon is that stupid, right). I copied the article and stuck it in their mailbox. Now I can tell them that it actually works! Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteHey, Thanks Art! This recipe must be getting around! Has anyone else out there tried it??
ReplyDeleteSooo glad that Skunks do not live on this side of the pond.
ReplyDeleteIt really works. Soap them up and let it sit for awhile, the longer it soaks in the better it works.. Then rinse and do it again and again.When the dog gets wet the smell will come back less intense but still there. I get skunked about once a year while out training dogs.
ReplyDeleteThe info was printed in last months County Living Magazine. I cut it out and put it in my dog health file in case I need it. I hope not but that setter of mine can't leave anything alone.
ReplyDeleteThis works! I have testimonials. Perfect solution to a complex problem.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the confirmations Kournate and Randy! And thanks for stopping by!
