Yes, use Vinegar. Plain white vinegar. Your dog will smell like a pickle for a little while but it does work. That is all I use. Just pour the vinegar on your dog do not rinse it off. My dog just got sprayed a couple days ago and you can not even smell it anymore. Tomato juice does not work well. Vinegar neutralizes the musk of the skunk.

large dog
2 bottles of hydrogen peroxide
1/2 cup baking soda
1 squirt of liquid dish soap
mix in a bucket sponge on dog let set 10-15 minutes rinse with water.
This works much better than tomato juice.
I live on a farm and my dogs get skunked about every other month this is what I use all the time.

I have books on solving problems and some of them adhere to using a bath in a tub filled with half water and half vinegar, or (this will slay you)-mix up two packages of Masengill Douche Power (available at drugstores and grocery stores) and wash the dog with this. It's more effective in breaking down the skunk's oil and it's not as messy as tomatoe juice.
I would try it as it would take a bit of the vinigar mix for the other suggestion. Give it a go, the dog and you will be a lot happier than you are right now, right?!
Here's a free bee for you: To get burrs out of dog's (or cat's ) fur, crush them with pliers of soften them up with shampo or vegetable oil,, then comb them out.

Yes but if you're male you might want to send someone else to buy it.
when my very large, husky, macho #4 brother had a skunk driven into his bedroom by his dogs, the local vet told him to wash himself and the dogs in douche.
Wish I'd been a fly on the wall at the local drugstore for that one!

Yep - tomato juice is primarily used for humans. For dogs, try equal parts of vinegar, water, and baking soda - that will neutralize the smell.

Mix equal parts baking soda and peroxide with a little bit of soap. If possible, try to keep mixture on your dog for at least 5 minutes before rinsing.
