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.

Take a bath in tomato purée … is about the only thing that worked when I was a kid and got caught up in dispatching a skunk I caught in a trap…

Go to Walmart and get a bottle of "Pooph!" It chemically neutralizes organic smell molecules. LINK

I use powdered laundry detergent with the hydrogen peroxide and liquid dish soap. Make a thick paste and cover your dog from head to tail. Then let them sit outside for an hour or until you feel sorry for them. Then hose or rinse off keeping the soap out of their eyes. It works. Taught this method by my vet. Makes their coat nice and fluffy too!

Take a bath in tomato purée … is about the only thing that worked when I was a kid and got caught up in dispatching a skunk I caught in a trap… Not even close to the tried and true mixture in the OP. Had my hunting dog buddy sprayed 80 miles from the house and had plenty of tomato products onhand and used it all on him in a very vigorous washing session. It got him de-skunked enough for the ride home in my truck, but still strong odor.. Got him home and bathed in "the recipe" and you couldn't catch a hint of skunk after. I use "the recipe" several times a year with the same results. With multiple dogs, it's not IF they get sprayed, it WHEN.

it works, I have the ingredients at the house, the farm house and both farms, just in case. Used it at least a dozen times. Not perfect, but good enough for the pup to ride in the cab instead of the back of the pickup.

I've used the peroxide, baking soda, Dawn mixture several times! It works. My two Rotty's are prone to skunk destruction. Literally ripping them to shreds. I've watched the male go back and attack the pieces! They get soaked!
The mixture reduces the stench to a somewhat tolerable level, but nothing but time will actually remove the aroma! Now, to bathe two Rotties, you'd probably have to mix up a couple of gallons of the stuff! LOL!
Had a skunk spray my front door. Wife washed that door several times. Every time it dried, you could see the greasy spots of the spray. Long after the odor was gone, the spots stayed! I finally had to paint the door with Kilz and repaint to get rid of the spots.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I've hunted South Dakota the last 3 years and my dogs have been skunked each time. The recipe the OP posted was what Otis received in the picture below. It worked.

The last time my dog got sprayed I had good luck with some industrial grade orange hand cleaner I had in the shop.
