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. This is what I have used more then a few times. Do not soak the dog prior to washing with this solution.

I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

Why not? I typically toss the dogs in a raceway after they have been skunked, and then mix up a batch and suds them up. Seems to work just fine?

Agree This formula works best and I tried tomato juice and everything under the kitchen sink.

Skunk oil isn't water soluble so water (by itself) doesn't do anything. The OP's recipe is what my family has used for a long time. The chemistry is that it oxidizes the thiols in the skunk oil. We mix it up in a bucket, blot it on with a sponge and let the dog "soak" for 10 minutes while the magic happens, then a rinse. It works well enough that the dogs and I get to sleep in the house same day.
What would Porter Rockwell do?

Time is the only thing that really works... Not true, the mixture works very well. Not my experience....
Decades of voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us just that.....
