Paul Krebaum, a chemist, invented a new more effective formula for de-skunking a dog. Mix in an open bucket or bowl:
1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide
¼ cup baking soda
1 teaspoon of strong liquid soap such as dishwashing detergent.
Mix the ingredients in an open bucket or bowl. The mixture will fizz. Wet your dog and thoroughly massage the solution into the coat. Be sure to keep the mixture out of the dogs eyes, nose and mouth. If it is necessary to apply it to the dogs face, very carefully use a washcloth or a sponge. After applying the mixture to all parts of your dog that may have been sprayed, rinse the dog thoroughly.
If his eyes are watery, wash with plain canned milk, (best) or regular milk to reduce the stinging

Give your dog a baking soda bath and that should work even though you might have to repaet it a couple of times and get tomato sauce asap.
WARNING: what your dog for any symptoms that they might be getting sick. If your not careful the skunk spray can kill your dog like it killed my Peanut Butter Baby!

Hahah that used to happen to my dog all the time. You need to do the tomato bath thing this is really all that can kill the smell without harming your poor doggy. Good luck though i know its soooo grosss and your house will smell for a couple days now.

the hydrogen peroxide baking soda thing works very well...although it might take more than one rinse with it to get it completely off and you will still smell the skunky smell up to a week or so afterward just a bit when the dog is wet.

Anything that has a low pH will work. Ketchup or mustard watered down and soap helps.
Keep the mutt outside REGARDLESS of the weather.
Once the dog figures out you will not give them comfort, the problem is solved.
Good luck with stinky!!!

Pee on your dog. A golden bath is always the best way to get that special stinch out. If you run out of urine, I'd be delighted to pee on your dog.

If it was me, I'd get to the store and get some tomato juice.
