I know this has been covered before but one of my labs got nailed by a skunk last night. I scrubbed him with vinegar then shampooed him. It helped but he still smells.

Anybody have and effective methods for eliminating the stink?


Eh...wot?

Tried the old vinegar, peroxide, Dawn dish soap mix a few times.
On dogs AND me, lol
Lessened it a good bit, but TIME was the best remedy.

Add 1 quart of hydrogen peroxide, 1 cup of baking soda and 1 tbsp. of Dawn dish detergent to the bucket of water... this is what I use on fur.

Orange degreaser concentrated. If your house smells like it set several cereal bowls around with it in them . That’s what pro cleaners use . Had one die and spray on my patio years ago . Scrubbed the spot with it and put it in my house and smell was gone by next day

This is the formula I’ve used for years and twice in the last couple months on my Jagd. Mix it up and let it sit on her for a few minutes. Rinse it off and once she’s dry she’s back in the truck with me.

This, but don't mix it in water. Water molecules actually worsen the smell by spreading it around more. Make the mix and rub it in as best as possible. Then wash it off with cold water. Time will take care of the rest.

My husky got sprayed three times this past year. Definitely not fun, especially with an angry wife. Lol

I mixed some up and used it on him this morning. It really seemed to cut the smell quite a bit. Thanks guys!

Thankfully my black lab was not out with him at the time. Then I’d probably have double trouble.

As long as the curtains match the carpeting- should be good to go!

After 3 days no one in the house will smell it anymore. Now if you venture out in public others still might!!

Try to be careful of eye contact. Pretty irritating.

Plus since there is no short shelf life like peroxide, you can keep a bottle in your vehicle for quick use on the line.
