If your dog is sprayed by a skunk, what is the best remedy to "de-scent" your pet?

Question

My dog spends most of the day outside on her large yard run area. In the evening we walk and sometimes hear rustling in bushes: could be racoons, skunks, etc....she is curious and I make sure she does not explore the movement....The other day she chased a chipmunk and got it on the road as it jumped out of a mailbox planted area... Just wondering what other people do/would do from experience or knowledge. What do you feel is the best way is to cut/de-scent the skunk spray if a dog gets a direct hit. Heard about Tomato juice baths, lemon, special scent cutters.....please name products or methods. Most appreciative for the info...hopefully will not have to use the info in the future....we are careful to avoid the darker bushy areas.
Thanks all!!!!!

My brothers dog was sprayed by a skunk once, while visiting. Time was the best remedy. However, bathing in tomato juice was a country remedy that we tried and it helped, as did the carpet cleaner Resolve in addition to the bath. Eventually we gave the dog a very short hair cut too.

Tomato juice does not get rid of the skunk odor. All it does is neutralizes the smell so it is not as strong.

1 quart 3% Hydrogen Peroxide

Mix in a bucket (it will fizz).
Soak your dog's fur, but be careful not to get any in his eyes.
Use a sponge to clean off his head and around his eyes.
Knead solution into the fur and be sure to get every part of him with it.
Rinse thoroughly.

or

1 cup of vinegar
1 cup hydrogen peroxide
1 cup of dish soap
Lather WELL, add water until a good thick coat of lather is worked up and let sit for 10 minutes.

or1 pint hydrogen peroxide
2/3 cup baking soda

I've heard the best way to help a sprayed person or pet by a skunk is to bathe in tomato sauce. Go to costco and buy the big can of it and put it in the bath tub and just rub it all over...it's supposed to work.
