today's thursday thirteen is dedicated to stinky
dogs everywhere....

thirteen ways to de-skunk your pooch!

1) We immediately put vanilla extract on her and some eye drops in her eyes. After a night in the garage, I gave her a Dawn bath today and reapplied the vanilla extract. I do not spell any skunk musk on her.

2)Tomato juice with lemon juice squeezed in, a bit of pepper and celery salt also helps. Mixed with vodka, taken internally. Dog doesn’t get any but you like him again. Not for prework, just evenings.

3) This is the steps I used to get rid of the odor completely:
Colgate Whitening Toothpaste - rub into hands and work paste into fur
Rinse
Dawn - work into foam
Rinse
Lime Juice - pour into hands and rub into fur
Rinse
Garnier Fructis Shampoo - shampoo as directed
Rinse

Can put my nose into fur and smell fruity, minty odor!!

4) 5 cans of tomato juice
2 frozen can of consentrate orange juice
many squirts of dawn dishsoap
couple glugs of peroxide

rub on animal as shampoo in a bath bathe thoroughly then wash off and apply dawn dishsoap if it still smells repeat every 3 hrs best result blow dry when done

5) I have found that shampooing them well and rinsing with Downy works the best. Their coats get really soft too.

6) DO NOT WET THE DOG……..cover the dog with Dawn dishwashing dish detergent. Really get it down in the dog’s coat. Wash off soap. I think we ended up soaping up the dog after we rinsed her. This worked good enough we kept her in the house that same night….in a kennel….in the kitchen, but it wasn’t horrible. Her eye and breath smelled for a month, but it wasn’t noticeable unless she was right up in our face. We used 1/2 bottle of Dawn on our 80lb. lab.

7) TOOTHPASTE is the answer to your Skunk odour problem..I used it on my cat as recommended by a friend….
Wet your pet down and later up with Toothpaste, thoroughly rinse. Your pet will smell minty fresh in no time.
One regular size tube for a cat or small dog.
Two tubes or more depending on the size of your pet.

8) Our Vet recommended “Murphy’s Oil Soap” worked great!!!
Will need to bath the dog/cat a second time after they get wet again, but it will KILL the smell.

9) Massengil Feminine douche. Buy the concentrate and mix up a gallon or so . Poor it over the dog and massage in - set it sit a while. Rise off - no more smell and a soft coat

10) Of all the commercially available skunk odor removers, Nature’s Miracle always seems to get the most praise. Find it in your local pet store.

11) Soda bath-Some people swear by bathing their animals in soda. We’ve heard of people using sprite and coke but haven’t yet tested it ourselves. Work the soda into the fur, rinse and then wash with regular shampoo. Repeat as needed

12) Orange bath-Blend 5-10 oranges in a blender, mix with a little soap and lather up with the resulting liquid. Let it sit for 10 minutes, rinse, then wash with regular shampoo.

13) Peroxide/baking soda bath-This is currently the most effective de-skunking bath, but the peroxide can potentially bleach your animals fur. Lemon juice or white vinegar can be substituted for the peroxide, but they don’t work as well.

In the bathtub or a bucket, mix together:

* 1 gallon water
* 1 quart hydrogen peroxide ~3% solution
* 1 cup baking soda
* 1 good squirt of hand or dish soap

The mixture will fizz. Use a sponge and lather it into the fur/skin taking care to avoid the ears and eyes. Let it sit for 10 minutes, rinse and repeat.
