Here's one that's NOT tomato juice:
1 quart 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
1/4 cup Baking Soda
2 tbsp Dish Detergent. The stuff for washing dishes in the sink, not something for dishwashers.
Mix the ingredients in a large bowl, because it will boil up like Vesuvius. We are, after all, making an oxygen generator. Wash the dog with this while it is still foaming, because it is the oxygen which reacts with the thiols in the skunk stink to neutralize the odor. If it sits around, it will loose it's efficacy because the oxygen boils off. Don't try to store it in an airtight container, because it will blow up. The brew also works for clothes, humans and unlucky cats.

Don't laugh, this is for real. When I worked veterinary emergency we had people call all the time for skunk recipes- the one we had them use was... massingil medicated (beta-dine) douche. I am not kidding. Instructions? Soak the dogs coat thoroughly and let it sit. Towel it out- don't rinse.
Then the next day, bathe your dog in a good dog shampoo to perk up the white in her coat.
I have also heard of using vinegar and water, as well as baking soda- but I can't say how well they work. There are products called 'skunk off' but the massigil works!

There is a shampoo called Fresh N' Clean. It'll get out the smell for sure. You can also dilute pamolive dish soap. Unless a bath is given, the smell will not come out. Tomotoe juice...this doesn't even work on skunk smell...I wouldn't do it...IMO
Try using the shampoo, always worked for my anal gland dogs when I was a Groomer.

My mom has a white dog and she has used tomato sauce. Her dog rolls in poop or road kill quite often. She says it works. The dog was a little pink for a day or two but only pale pink. Hope this helps.

The tomato juice will tinge the coat, but doesn't last that long. Something that I've found that works great to neutralize the odor is Summer's Eve disposal douche. It sounds nasty, but is the best thing I've found to get rid of the smell.

that's all that's going to get it out of her. Tomato juice. Use it, then bathe her again and again - the red will come out, but you need to use Tomato juice on her or it will last a long, long time.
Sorry!

she'll be a little pink, but it is not a wive's tale.. tomato juice, sauce, puree, whatever.. the acid in the tomato's kills the odor.
