Comments on How to Get Skunk Smell out of Pet Fur

I agree that the Tecnu stuff is the way to go! We followed up with the peroxide/baking soda/detergent mixture, but the Tecnu is the one that immediately began taking the smell away! It's just a couple of hours later and our dog is welcome back in the house!

Someone earlier mentioned using Tecnu to remove skunk odor. I tried it and it really works, even if not applied immediately. I tried douche and the baking soda/peroxide/dish liquid solutions and they weren't as effective as Tecnu. Tecnu is inexpensive and available at Walgreens (for example) or online.

I tried tomato juice and peroxide. Sorry to say it did not give me the desired results. My veterinarian used a very effective product “DoggiCLEEN Skunk Spay”. It got rid of the skunk stench on my dogs quickly and very effectively.

While I was in the Dollar Store, buying peroxide and baking soda to de-odor my skunk sprayed goldendoodle, an employee told me to use douche, just pour it on she said. It was cheap to buy and worked really well.

2 bottles of beer and backing powder to absorbed oils from skunk, wet dog, pour a bunch of backing powder all over, rub in real good, pour the beers over , rub again real good, rinse, shampoo aas normally would, and smell is gone !@!!!

My dog came back from running and smelled so bad I almost past out.. I tried the peroxide treatment and it worked too calm down the smell but he still has a faint oder on his head..will try to do it again to see if it helps eliminate it all..

can dogs go blind from skunk spray.my dog got sprayed five days ago and vision isnt like it was before

The peroxide solution works well(about 1/4 cup of soda, a good squirt of dish detergent, and 1/2 cup of peroxide). I worked it into his coat full strength, and used a washcloth dipped in into the solution to work it around his eyes, ears, and muzzle, left it to soak in for a couple of minutes, and rinsed in clear water. I'm glad I have Jack Russels, though, and not English Sheep Dogs!

Quick question, my dog got sprayed 4 days ago, we as I have now come to see, mistakenly used tomato juice, then next day used a solution from the vet, trouble is it is still seeping out of his big ears (Beagle), tomorrow AM we are going to try peroxide treatment. My main question I guess is that when he gets wet on the face (we've been giving daily baths) is when it really smells, will this ever go away? Saw a comment before from a breeder saying if the peroxide dose aint done in 12 hours it will never come out....PLEASE HELP!!!! Thanks.

My Mom's dog was skunked early this morning. After I wash with dish detergent, I mixed up the solution of 3% peroxide, baking soda and dish detergent. I lathered him up good, being careful of his eyes, rinsed well and then followed with a good dog shampoo. He seems to be smelling like fresh apples now, which was the scent of the last dog shampoo I used. From now on, I'll always have the 3% proxide handy. Most Vets do recommend using that solution.

I am a groomer. Tomato juice does not work! It is just a big mess and may turn your pet different colors. The best thing to do is the peroxide recipe. You must put it on straight and let it sit. It has to be done in the first 12 hrs or you will never get it out. You may want to use a doggy conditioner afterward, as the peroxide will dry out the skin and coat. Nature's Miracle Skunk Odor remover also works for people, pets, clothes, etc (available at PetSmart).

I walked my dogs earlier and let them off the leash to run around..They came back with skunk "perfume" and it almost knocked me out of my shoes..I washed them each 3 times with Dawn dish soap, then sponged them down with tomato juice..There was still some smell left between the eyes..I tried the 1/4 peroxide 3%, 1/2 cup baking soda and 2 tablespoons of arm&hammer washing detergent. On one dog the smell is completly gone and the other still has a faint odor between the eyes, but I hope that will be gone also once she her fur has dried. Tomorrow I will wash them again with oatmeal shampoo because I'm sure the detergent dried their skin out pretty bad..Besides being a little mad at me for all that water on them, they seem 2 enjoy that the smell is gone..Their not rubbing their noses anymore on the ground...

Okay I tried the peroxcide, baking soda, and dish right away on my dog. I repeated this twice. Seemed to work okay. Most of the smell was gone, with the expection of his face. Was bearable...but as the days went bye smell got worse. Tried the vinager douche and baby shampoo lst night...seemed to work well until the morning. Smell is back!!! Bought a product called Tecnu today and will try that tonight. Will let you know how it works!

Why do I need tomato juice, a douche, and Kiss My Face shampoo and rinse creme, when the recipie never calls for them? And where does one get "commercial skunk odor remover"? Could the recipie suggest a few brand names, or where to find such things? It would be nice not to have to try to find suggested products in the comments. Complete recipie/instructions would be apprecited!

All I know is that it really sucks to get sprayed at 530 in the morning when taking your dogs out for their morning walk. My dogs stink my house stinks my car stinks my new coat stinks and I stink . I guess I am trying to say that this really stinks !!!!

Came home last night to find my 2 shepherds had tangled with a skunk and then came in the dog door and searched the entire house to find me. Thankfully we had the guest room door closed so we had a place to sleep. I did the vinegar thing. It worked but now the whole house smells like vinegar. [What gets out vinegar smell? SKUNK!] :} So I took an idea from the Native Americans, I smudged my house. Now my house smells great! There's nothing like the smell of sage smoke to get you over the rough patches. I've even stopped shooting dirty looks at my 2 skunk chasers. I mean hey what's one lost day between friends, right.
