Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 My dog got " skunked " this morning and I need help ASAP. The vet gave me a recipe for soap which was supposed to get rid of the odor--an old West Virginia hills recipe. Hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, and baking soda. Used it, it worked somewhat, but not enough. Plus, couldn't use it on face where she needed it the most. This is a house dog who is very affectionate and used to being cuddled day and night. So I need to get her stink free because emotionally, she isn't going to do well being ostracized from the family. Help!!! Anybody out there got a fool proof method to rid a dog of skunk odor?

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Get some cans of tomato sauce or juice.... and wash her in it... my ex mother in law used to swear by it... I don't remember if it was sauce or juice but one of the two (maybe either ) will work.... Something in the tomato sauce/juice... I never had the ocassion to try it..

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2003 Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 Heres another tomato tip if you can incorporate tomatoe into animals/dogs food regularly the tomatoe does something to the urine/neutralizes it so as to not burn grass when they urinate on it.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Tomato juice will not hurt a dogs skin. Vinegar is also an excellent odor killer. Janet - Anjeweleyes herbal remedies Saturday, July 19, 2003 3:25 PM Re: [herbal remedies] Skunk odor My grandma always rubbed tomatoes on us. Why wouldn't they bite us instead of spraying us away....? My husband found two babies once and the mama let him know she didn't appreciate him handling them...his mom did the same thing. For a little dog, you might be able to give it a bath in tomato sauce...it's worth a try. The acid in tomatoes is supposed to kill the stink. But, I don't know if the dog has real sensitive skin...

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Oh sure, as long as they don't overdo it. 1/2 banana each should be fine. Had a Pug once that liked tomatoes and red salsa hehe!
