a.k.a. Dog De-skunker

a.a.k.a. Dog De-skunker of Science

Beau got skunked this year. Again. He has not yet learned the skunks are NOT little black and white kitties to chase. The wild kitties don't run up trees like his kitties.

So, without further ado:

• 1 Qt 3% hydrogen peroxide
• 1/4 cup baking soda
• 1 T. liquid dish soap

Wet your dog (if you're me, remember to NOT bring the dog in the house first!). Mix all ingredients in a large plastic bowl. Thouroughly coat your dog with the mix. Let the solution sit on your dog for at least 5 min, be very careful to keep the goo out of his eyes. Rinse completely. Repeat as necessary.

This one WORKS. The soap breaks down the oils in the skunk stink, and the baking soda & peroxide neutralize the odor.
