Dog got skunked this morning.

Peroxide and baking soda and then outside for a week or 2.

Here's an article that elaborates on ericuda and milemaker's suggestion.

Tomato juice.

Have used tomato juice, vinegar, baking soda, and vanilla extract on occasion. Works for the most part. Never thought of Dawn though it does work really well on oily and greasy substances.

tomato juice in my elkhound. He got skunked while we were out for walk; then the stupid dog did it again about 3 days later!

I've heard this stuff works pretty well. You can get it at Walmart too.

My bird dog got it several years ago.
We washed him in tomato juice in a kiddie pool.
He was better in about 7 days.
.....otherwise it takes about a week!

Yeah peroxide and baking soda. Then the tomato juice. Then the Dawn followed by pet shampoo. Then he will be tolerable. Good luck with him, at least it was not a porcupine.

That's what my mom and dad said when their Brittany got skunked - I wrote about it in a different thread. But because it happened around 3:00 in the morning, mom and dad used all the tomato juice they had in the house, then switched to V-8 juice. From what they said, it still "took about a week."

You could just pretend it's a Chesapeake Bay Retriever for a couple weeks

Chesapeakes are one of my favorite breeds. They have been since I was about 16 years old. But they do have a distinct aroma, especially when they're wet.

I just get a new dog. Just kidding. That must not have been an enjoyable experience.

Just a friendly poke at Chessie owners.

A couple drops of dawn detergent, some lemishine, and 2 hours in a brass tumbler with pins oughta do it.

I generally rinse the dog off with a large can of tomato juice, then rinse with water and then apply the Peroxide/baking soda/dawn mix. Still takes a while for all the smell to disappear. Thank goodness my GWP loves the water and swimming. Having Bird dogs for most of my life, I've gotten so I carry that large can of tomato juice with me in the truck when I go hunting. Knocks the smell down a tad before I have to take 'em home in the truck. Also helps when it's your son's/buddie's dog that gets sprayed.

I put her front paws in a big bowl, and applied all the tomato paste I could lay hands on. Followed with a bath.

The dumb dog did it again the next night! I think the skunk got tired of the smell and went elsewhere after the second round.

Probably ran out of skunk juice.

One of our local live trappers hit the end of her long streak (many years long) of not getting skunked recently. We did kid her about it a bunch though.

The Clinic I work at recommends Dawn, Hydrogen peroxide and baking soda every other day. Tomato juice/paste do help also but can make a bigger mess. Leave the dog outside for the next week. The smell will get better with time and not because they smell less but because you get use to it. Also Chessie's do have a distinct smell when wet which is not helped if sprayed by a skunk.

When I read the title I initially thought you were playing cribbage with your dog and skunked him. Now I see lol.
