Question:
There is a wonderful and easy remedy for removing skunk odor. I didn’t believe it until my Golden Retriever got himself skunked in TX. ! Tablespoon liquid detergent, 1/4 cup baking soda, one large bottle of peroxide. Mix the baking soda and the detergent in a large bucket and add the peroxide. Sponge down with it and then rinse. Within 24 hours there was no trace of skunk on the dog at all, which is amazing, since he got it right square in the face. Anne AAC/AAF/AFBV62.0844.AZ http://www.tckworld.com/opfoot

Janet, A wonderful idea just occurred to me. I haven’t used any of the Noni juice, but with all the wonderful post that have been claiming its use for stripping the paint right off your walls, then why not try it for taking out the "skunk" smell? Just a thought. debbie m. http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/angels1/

Oooh there are lots of ways if you live in the part of the country where they are. It will take months for your car to air out if one is run over on the highway even if you were not the first one. If you have dogs, they come home as miserable as an animal can be when they have had a run in with a skunk. Lord help you if you run into a mother skunk with her kits and thinks you are a danger to them. They can squirt their stuff for 10-12 feet and if it gets on your skin,,,,,even noni may not help. They make cougars and bobcats run in the other direction much less a wolf or coyote. If they turn that tail toward you,,,,start running now. Harv

Growing up in the texas panhandle, getting skunked was a ritual it seemed we all had to pass thru. They loved tall weeds and barns. Burn the clothes as Char said. Get out the tomato juice (lots of it) for any direct contact / human or canine. There is one more thing I consider more miserable as dog contact goes and that’s with a porcupine. I had a half coyote/half elk-hound while living in northern New Mexico in the Sangro de Christo’s. He got too close, as did other strays I cared for to a particular porcupine that was territorial about the area we resided in. Pulling porcupine needles out of a dogs face is a very unpleasant way to spend a day. Out of about 6 dogs I helped thru this ordeal I only had one that lost an eye. Very underrated critters//porcupines. One close encounter will change any misconceptions you ever had about our little buddy the ‘porcupine’. We named this one ‘Diablo’ and kept our distance. johnie

My dog used to get skunked in our backyard. Mom always knew cuz she’d hear back to the door, stopping to rub her nose and faceon the grass as she ran. to the door, mom was completely overpowered and started retching from the smell. Her eyes were watering profusely, she was gagging and retching, and the dog was coughing and crying. Luckily our house was weird and had a door directly into my parents’ bathroom from the side yard. Mom brought Pralines around the side and got in the shower with her and rinsed and shampooed as fast as she could. All at 3am, of course, because dogs NEVER get sprayed when you are still awake. Dad went for the vinegar and they ended up getting the smell off… except for one thing. Pralines must have been inhaling when the skunk sprayed, because it was in her lungs. For SIX MONTHS she smelled of skunk at every exhale. It got fainter and fainter, but it was there, and there wasn’t a damned thing we could do about it. Poor dog was MISERABLE. And so were we! Aim
