Let the dog out late just before turning in and he got into it with a skunk...little fight but then took the whole spray on his neck...all I smell is the over powering smell of the skunk on and in everything now.....
I used goo gone and viniger than shampooed the dog...seems to have got the oils off the dog..didn't have many options on the fly at 1130 at night
All we smell and think is that everything stinks so we don't know if the smell is really leaveing or not
In the plastic container, combine 1 quart hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda and 1 to 2 teaspoons of liquid soap (Dawn).
Add lukewarm water if needed (for larger dogs). Mix ingredients well. The solution will fizz, as a chemical reaction is occurring. Use immediately - do not store.
This really works well. When dumb ass tangled with a skunk, I washed him down and he was good to go.
He then ran right back outside and found the same skunk again. Yep, he got another douche with the mixture. Good Luck.

This works. The only problem we had was that we were cautious about getting the mixture in our dog's eyes and nose. So for months, every time his face got wet, there was a lingering smell.
You can also use the darkest coffee you can find. Fill the filter to the top and make a pot. Allow to cool and use as a wash. Helps with the stink. I use this along with th dish soap,peroxide, baking soda stuff on my **** hounds.
Thanks ffor the help.....we used viniger and goo gone cuase its all I could think of so quickly..then gave the dog a bath...the house still stinks and his wireless fence collar id still bad...it took the worse of it..I can't get the smell out of the plastic......we will probally be doing a round of that suggested mixture again just to be sure...does anyone have a fix for a large area or it may be just stuck in my nose
vanilla extract, shampoo,tomato base products and leave it on for a while,he will smell sweet instead of skunky. Got to keep it on til there almost dry(sticky)
Vinegar can be used in place of the hydrogen peroxide in the mixture with baking soda and dish soap, as I've heard the the peroxide can turn the dog's hair white.
Also, Odoban is great for taking the smell out of anything the dog came in contact with.
same thing happened to my dog...the smell up close is unbelievable...I thought she rolled in some kinda of chemical.. then she ran upstairs and rolled in my room on her bed. that smell lingered for a few days even after washed.. ,it stung our eyes when she first came in.
We have tried everything it all worked to some degree but we still smell it every now and then.... our dog ran in too....we went to the inlaws yesterdya thinking we smelled fine but it seems to linger on everything they said it was light but could smell it a little..... we washesd everything in the house we could and the windows have been open all day...air fresheners everywhere too..every now and the we get a good wif of it again. Hipefully by tuesdya when I go back to work everything smells fine
On a related not I made a Doe get skunked tonight at work. Was shining the spotlight in our patrol vehicle at a big skunk, it was getting agitated and started running towards cover that just happened to have a doe bedded down, she spooked he sprayed. Deer was jumping around kind of funny!!
skunk spray is an oil. washing your dog or anything else in something that will not break down the oil no smell will be removed. period. you need to use a detergent soap, degreaser, lestoil, anything that will break down the oil to remove it successfully. the recipe above works well. to get the stink out of your house boil pots of white vinegar.
thanks for all the help everyone, i used a degreaser the first night, but you can still smell it every now and then, i have about a dozen glasses of viniger around the house and i boiled some too. Looking at the science behind it really the only thing to get rid of it is oxygen which takes times. its getting better saould be all gone by the end of the week
