1. Be sure to look first at your dog’s eyes to check for saturation of the skunk spray. “It won’t make him blind, but it’s very painful,” says Veronika Kiklevich, D.V.M., who is an instructor and head of community practice division at the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine in Pullman. Veronika advises to wash out the dog’s eyes with water.
2. Wash your dog thoroughly, but do so only outside! If you wash your dog inside of the house then the nasty smell of skunk will be around for weeks. Be sure to wear rubber gloves or latex gloves. Pet shampoo of any kind will do the job, but be sure to repeat the wash about 2-3 times.
3. It’s time for tomato juice! Experts are not sure just how it works, but pouring tomato juice on your dog and rubbing it in does wonders for chasing away that skunk smell. After your dog is washed and totally dry, you literally pour the tomato juice on and rub it in thoroughly within the coat. Let is soak for about 30 minutes or as long as you can keep your dog still. WARNING: If your pet has white fur, then be prepared for a “pinkish” looking animal roaming the house for a little while. But do not worry, this will fade.

Tomato juice does work, but there are now some better products on the market especially for eliminating skunk smell. Try a hardware store, a farm & feed store, or your vet.

Tomato sauce is the old classic, and now they have a bunch of fancy shampoos and stuff out there that claim to get rid of the smell. I personally have only used tomato juice, much cheaper and it works splendidly.

Everyone is saying tomato juice...which will work, but now there are better ways that take the smell away for good. I agree with using peroxide, and baking soda. This really takes the smell away.

bathe him in tomato juice, paste anything tomato. lots and let soak for a while. Scrub and rinse and repeat, old remedy i learned from my guitar teacher about twenty years ago. His german shepard got it pretty bad. Still a hint of smell but not nearly what it was. Good luck. Repeat as desired.

like a previous answer, be sure and check the eyes.
A good solution to use to get rid of the smell is tomato juice or vinegar and water.
