what everybody says is tomtao juice thats what happend to somebody i know!!
try to use tomato juice bath cause my friend and us went camping and he like messing with animal and on time the skunk turn away and oh man.
tomato jucice and possibly Lysol
Selsun blue shampoo
This sounds wrong but the best way is..... Douche
Groomers offer a de-skunk that works well.
white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and (YES) massingil vinegar and water douche - poor on the dog
I saw this on mythbusters.. none of the conventional methods they tried worked. Use the shampoo agian, and give a local animal shelter or vet a call and ask them for tips. If all fails, call a groomer and ask if they can help you. You may just have to put up with a stinky dog for a while!
1 quart 3% Hydrogen Peroxide


1/4 cup Baking Soda


2 tbsp Dish Detergent. The stuff for washing dishes in the sink, not something for dishwashers.








Mix the ingredients in a large bowl, because it will boil up like Vesuvius. Wash the dog with this while it is still foaming, because it is the oxygen which reacts with the thiols in the skunk stink to neutralize the odor. If it sits around, it will lose it's effectiveness because the oxygen boils off. Don't try to store it in an airtight container, because it will blow up. The brew also works for clothes, humans and unlucky cats.
We had a collie/shepherd cross that got sprayed, twice. Tomato juice didn't work... Shampoo didn't work... What worked for us was shaving her fur, done by a professional groomer of course. Looked a little funny for a few weeks but it was the best for an extremely furry dog. Had to keep an eye on her so she didn't burn in the sun, but it is a viable option.
Bi carb soda.............
I have heard that tomato juice helps.
i would recommend tomato juice a kid in homeroom his dog got sprayed and he smelled disgusting so do it as fast as u can
Wash your dog with a baking soda solution - with enough baking soda to make the water cloudy, but not starting to get pasty. Let it sit on the dog for a while then rinse with lemon juice. Between the two it should get out most of the small. Nothing gets it all out, unfortunately, but this mixture has worked for me.


Don't use Dawn dish soap (or any dish soap for that matter). It will dry out your dog's skin too much.
~tomato paste and warm bath works good~
it would be best to find the shapoo again and bath the dog in tomato juice using the shampoo.
