Someone asked about this a while back and I finally found the recipe and thought I would share. It is easy to carry these ingredients in the truck when going on a hunting trip in case the dog gets into a "Stinker".

The destink process:

1 qt. Hydrogen Peroxide - the brown bottle drug store variety
1/4 cup Baking Soda (approx amount - I do not measure it)
1 squirt of Dawn Dishwash Liquid

Combine ingredients immediately before use, stir to dissolve the baking soda and give the dog a bath in the solution. The peroxide will react with the skunk juice and other organic matter and bubble up quite a bit. It does not hurt to let it soak a while.

Rinse with cold water and discard the leftover solution. Do not try to save it. The peroxide continues to break down and will cause a sealed container to burst and it will break down to just soapy water over time anyway.

I keep all these ingredients in the truck along with a plastic bucket to mix it in when needed.

You can bathe dogs with this solution as well but you need to keep it out of their eyes.


I am always looking for factory wood stocks!
