Things You'll Need:
- 1 qt. 3% hydrogen peroxide
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1 tsp. liquid dish soap
- Rubber gloves
- Bucket or bottle
- Sheet, towel or cloth large enough to cover your dog
-
Step 1
Wrap your dog in a sheet, blanket, towel or any cloth that you don't plan on ever using again when transporting your dog to the nearest hose or bath tub so that the skunk spray oil does not come in contact with any other surfaces.
-
Step 2
Fill up a bucket or plastic bottle (such as a 2 liter soda bottle) with your solution of 1 qt. 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda and 1 tsp. liquid dish soap and gently mix together.
-
Step 3
Put your rubber gloves on and slowly pour the solution over your dog's dry coat while working it deep down into her skin. Pay special attention to the area where your dog was sprayed by the skunk.
-
Step 4
Once you have drenched your dog's coat completely with your solution, let it sit for 10 minutes.
-
Step 5
Rinse your dog thoroughly with warm water while working the solution out with your gloved hands.
-
Step 6
Let your dog's coat dry for approximately an hour and do a smell test. Repeat the above steps as necessary until the smell has faded enough that it is tolerable and no skunk spray oils can contaminate your house or surroundings.
