Plain old hydrogen peroxide really does work to rid your dog of that nasty skunk smell. Unfortunately I found out yesterday this does work. Our spoiled rotten Irish Setter was skunked again, for the third time in her life.
It seems she is either territorial or just fascinated with skunks. When she went to the farm to help feed the cattle yesterday morning, she returned in less than stellar condition. She reeked.
Well I have previously used the tomato juice bath, the white vinegar bath, and have not been pleased with the results.
I did have on hand 4 large bottles of peroxide, so we tried that. We poured all four on her and soaked her collar thoroughly. Of course she had to stay outside for an hour and a half then she received a through warm bath with mild dish soap. The peroxide neutralizes the effects of the skunk and even when I rinsed her down to apply shampoo the odor did not return. After a through bath she smelled fresh as a daisy.
I do hope she has finally learned the difference between a skunk and a cat(she is buddies with our cats).
