there are two types of dogs when it comes to skunks
the ones who learn their lesson the first time
and the ones who will NEVER learn
My dog, Cinnamon, is a type two dog. The first time she got skunked we did the tomato sauce thing. We had a large pink dog who smelled like skunk parmegian (?) This time I looked on the internet and got the real recipe: 1 quart hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda and 2 TBLS liquid dish soap. You mix that all up and use it as a shampoo. OMG! She has no smell and is so white you gotta put on sun glasses to look at her. And we won't even begin to say how absolutely soft she is now. Only down side, it seems to have loosened all her underhair. That soft, soft downey stuff close to her skin. She is shedding copious amounts all over everything. We have been brushing her for days but to no avail. She is shedding up a storm. She walks by and it reminds me of that bugs bunny cartoon with the witch. You remember, every time the witch would go by, there would be a bunch of hair pins flying around. Anyway, I really recommend the mixture to rid you dog of the smell. It is cheap and very effective.
