My DOG / CAT got skunked ,REMOVE SKUNK SMELL / STINK / ODOR

Your animal , kids or you got sprayed by a skunk. HORRIBLE ISN"T IT !!!
Here are a few things you can do to get ride of that smell.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1
     

    TRY NOT TO LET YOU PET GET BACK INTO THE HOUSE IF THEY HAVE BEEN SPRAYED BY A SKUNK! ! !
    They will roll & rub all over everything making this job 100 time worse.
    Even lock out your kids if they have been sprayed , Deal with the problem outside if you can.

  2. Step 2
     

    TOMOTO JUICE
    With the pet/ kids safely secured OUT SIDE THE HOUSE ,run to the store & buy some BIG cans of CHEAP Tomato Juice.
    Get on some old clothes
    Get the hose running , Now cover the victim with the tomato juice. Let it sit on them for about 5 minutes & rinse with the hose
    Repeat as needed

  3. Step 3
     

    Here is a mixture of common household items the works great.
    1 quart 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
    1/4 cup Baking Soda
    2 tbsp Dish Detergent.


    Mix it in a large plastic container, because it will foam up big time. this mixture is a oxygen generator. Wash the victim with this while it is still foaming, it neutralize the odor. If you wait & it stops foaming it will not work. So mix it & wash the victor right away.

    This also works on furniture , carpets clothes
    WARNING ,Don't try to store this in a open container , IT WILL BLOW UP

  4. Step 4

    Getting rid of the smell is going to take some time work & some $$$ , but with these common household ingredients you can cut down the smell by 90 to 95% , NOTHING is 100% effective in getting rid of the smell.

    Your going to have to live with a bit of the smell for about a week , Get some FRABREZ spray , It is the best at masking or covering up the residual smell.
    FABREZE is a safe product & can be sprayed on furniture , carpets & clothes . you can even spray it on the animals & kids ,
    AVOID getting it in their eyes , nose or mouth.

  5. Step 5
     

    If you come face to face with a skunk , DON"T FREAK OUT , Just move away . They really don't want to spray you , It is a last defence for them if they get attacked. They will run from you just as fast. The reason your pet got skunked is they surprised the skunk or they were try to play or attack the skunk. To a dog or cat a skunk is a black & white friend to play with !!!!
