As soon as you realize your dog has been sprayed by a skunk, don some rubber or
latex gloves and old clothes and look her over for bites or scratches. Also
check her eyes for redness or discharge. If any injuries are found, you should
contact your veterinarian before proceeding.
Time is of the essence here - the longer you wait to begin the process, the
harder it will be to remove the stench. Get set up for bathing your dog
outdoors or in an easy to clean area of your home (laundry room, bathroom,
etc). If indoors, open a window to save your nose!
Apply a small strip of eye lubricant (such as Puralube) or 1-2 drops of mineral
oil to your dog's eyes. This will help protect the eyes in case any of the
solution splashes or drips in.
In the plastic container, combine 1 quart hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup baking
soda and 1 to 2 teaspoons of liquid soap. Add lukewarm water if needed (for
larger dogs). Mix ingredients well. The solution will fizz, as a chemical
reaction is occurring. Use immediately - do not store.
Do not soak your dog with water prior to bathing. Promptly begin cleansing the
affected areas thoroughly, massaging the solution deep into your dog's coat.
You may wish to use a sponge or washcloth. Avoid getting the solution in the
eyes, ears or mouth.
Allow the solution to remain on your dog for at least five minutes (longer if
strong odor persists).
Rinse your dog well with lukewarm water. Repeat steps 3-5 as necessary until
odor is gone.
Dry your dog well and give her a treat!
