How to get rid of skunk on the dogs???

[soap&eggs]

this autumn our dogS were sprayed & husband let them back in house..only to have them both run & hide under our bed..i awoke to hubby spraying both with his $65.00 bottle of colonge...uugggghhhh !!!! i had no perioide nor rubbing alchocl......LOL...i used...dawn...baking soda & vinger..well they bubbled & bubbled & foamed up...lol...oops i forgot what baking soda & vinegar does when mixed !!! did this twice in a roll...smell came out..until dogs get wet, slight skunky smell.....removing smell from under bed was a bit harder to remove..scrubbed carpet..sprayed freshers in air..took days to get rid of.. good luck.

oh soap&eggs he would've been a hurtin' puppy if my DH did that

But just an update the boys slept with DD lastnight and they smelled wonderful. We gave them a good scrubbin with the dishsoap+baking soda+peroxide and let it sit for a good 10 minutes and then rinsed them really well. So they're both stench free

Glad you have stench free doggies!!

Must be Colorado skunk season...our dog was sprayed just 2 days ago

The peroxide, baking soda, and dishsoap mix really does a pretty good job I think.

My Chesapeake got sprayed directly in the eyes, and her eyes swelled shut! She was OK after much rinsing within a few hours. (this was the first of many many skunkings)
But, I was told whole milk, and a citrus dishwashing liquid, which I tried. She loved being bathed in milk! It sort of worked, still stunk though. Tried peroxide next time, Nature Miracle next. I was also told never to use tomato juice because the acid in the juice can have an allergic reaction on a dogs skin.

I love that you keep saying out loud "I think it's getting better", when it's really not.
