Martinnfb Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Yeah, I couldn't sleep last night, so I decided to go for walk. All of sudden I saw the spark in her eyes, saying "look,look, a big fuzzy squirrel! Let's play" She got two quick bursts right into the head....... silly dog.... Needless to say that our house is drenched in unpleasant odour despite my efforts to shower the heck out of her. I check out the on-line recipes , yet don't want to turn this place to Area 51 or something either. Have you guys ever dealt with similar issue, if so, what worked for you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I hear bathing in tomato juice helps. All I got buddy. Good luck........Harv. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Thank Harvey, I've just tried vinegar and dish soap and this place sticks even worse LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamj Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Pick up a couple big bottles of Coke Classic...Soak her in it. works. It is a very oily substance and the citric acid, carbonic acid and phosphoric acid in the Coke breaks it down. My Dog Jessie had the same thing happen,only she ran into the house and tried to rub it off in the carpet,it's how we ended up with hardwood floors. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Brilliant idea ! Thank You William. Fortunately we don't have a carpeted floors and I run her into the shower stall right after we returned home. Woke up Rachael early in the morning Let us hope, that there will be some fur left after I am done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Similar to harv, I've heard tomato ketchup works well. Probably similar to the acidity of the coke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARU 5137 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 DOG LEAD .... AND OBSERVATIONS .... will keep the Dog away from the Skunk. so.... the smell... you got rid of it yet... I hope it DOES NOT PERMEATE into the Kit boxes! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 OK, so far she was washed with regular dog shampoo , then vinegar, dish soap and a coke. And the smell is still apparent, not so badly as it was at the beginning, but you would definitely question the lever of her personal hygiene. Maru, my dog usually runs off leash. I take it as a part of her training, her learning experience. on the other hand, I'am glad we don't have rattlesnakes or else. Cheers M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARU 5137 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Fact: A Home Recipe to Get Rid of Skunk Odor What has been proven to work, according to a variety of sources, is a home concoction developed by Paul Krebaum and published Chemical & Engineering News back in 1993: 1 quart 3% hydrogen peroxide1/4 cup baking soda1 teaspoon liquid detergent Mix in a large, open container and use immediately. According to Statewide IPM Program, Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of California, it can be safely used on people, pets, clothing, and furniture. But the mix cannot be covered or stored because it can explode a closed container. To get rid of the leftover solution, dilute it heavily with water, and pour down the drain. Retail Products That Work Experts from Cornell University, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and other universities and government agencies also recommend over-the-counter products that contain neutroleum alpha to get rid of skunk smells on pets. These products are available at many pet stores. Getting Rid of Skunk Smells In the Home If people or pets come into the house before being de-skunked, you may find that the smell lingers in the air. To get rid of it, boil vinegar in a pan. The home will now smell like vinegar, but once that smell is gone, the skunk odor should also be gone. Take care. And precautions ARE order of the day when using chemicals....gloves..eye glasses... etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Thank You Maru, I heard about that mixture, however I am not too keen to use Hydrogen peroxide. My dog is black and I would like to keep it that way 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
