Those Little White Striped Devils

The day your dog gets nailed by a skunk, it will be after-hours at your local pet store or veterinary clinic. You will probably then resort to using tomato juice or some other home remedy and end up smelling like a skunk yourself for the next two weeks!
Years ago I hade a male Scottie that never seemed to learn. I can attest to the fact that tomato juice alone does not work. Many attest to the following receipe:

1 quart or 3% hydrogen Peroxide 1/4 cup of baking soda 2 tbsp of a dish detergent. Mix all of the above and work into your dog's coat.

I have found that bathing immediately after being sprayed is a mistake. Don't if possible let the dog into the house before you start working on the smell. I found out that that was a big mistake later in November when the heat in the house came on with a distincly skunky aroma.
I prefer using Nok Out. It works on the skunk odour, and is versitile in that I can use it on urine odour, mold or anything else that stinks. If you want more info check the link to Nok Out on www.petmansemporium.com
