How best to remove skunk spray from a dog that got sprayed?

Question

I have a beagle who got sprayed this morning when the dog took off for a run in the woods. How best to clean the dog TO GET THE STUNK OFF?

Answer 1

Tomato juice works. Leave the tomato juice on the dog for as long as you can, the longer you leave it the better it works. Beagles are small and have short hair, so you'll probably only have to do it once unlike when my aunt's Golden Retriever got sprayed and I had to wash him three times (at least I got paid for it).

Answer 2

My dogs get skunked regularly we live in the country and my dog hunt.
The following is the best stuff I have found to get the stink out.
Use two bottles of hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda
1 squirt of liquid dish soap
Mix in a bucket sponge on dog let stay on for 10-15 mintues
Rinse well with plain water.

This works much better than anything tomato I have tried.
I keep this stuff in the cabinet as my dogs run into a skunk about every other month or three.

Answer 3

NEVER use peroxide to bath your dog. Even if using it to clean a wound, it must be diluted. I had a great dane that was sprayed by a skunk. First I tried the tomato juice & nothing. Then I tried vinegar & nothing. Then I tried dish soap & it was a little better. After all of this, he still smelled pretty bad. Also, don't waste your money on the stuff at the petstores, it doesn't work (tried that too.) My poor dog. Finally, I used Mane & Tail horse shampoo. It covered up some of the smell, at least to the point that you could only smell it if you put your nose close to the dog. The only thing that took the smell out completely was time.
