Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Best way to get skunk spray off a dog

Damn... LOL

X2

The best way to get skunk off a a dog is to shoot the dog.

That won't get the smell off the dog, but it will keep
the dog from getting any on you.

X3. Dawn dish detergent works best

The tomato juice deal worked for me. Got so I carried a qt can in the pickup and a gallon of water all fall never know when the sink will get the dog...mb

My wife got a mini labradoodle. I bet hers is dumber than yours. I forbid it but lost. Just got my zebra and wildebeest rugs back and I refuse to put them out because I know her dog will destroy them. So on the pool table they live. Do the peroxide concoction. My gwp loves to kill skunks.

After you clean the dog, trap and get rid of the skunk.

Sometimes us smartazzes think alike!

I'd never do that, and have never had to deal with a skunk dog. My "raccoon" trapping experience in high skool was another deal however. Somehow, both my trapping partner and I ended up in Alaska shortly after that..

Hard to explain....

It wears off soon enough.

We have an outside dog run, he’s gonna live there for a couple of weeks.

Bath time this afternoon.

Shortly after my accident loosing a few fingers I hear my ex screaming at 2am to wake up. I go outside and my pit mastiff mix who had the top speed of tortoise decided to go make friends with a skunk. The skunk was not interested in making friends and blasted her right in the face. Before I could tell me ex to let me research and see if the tomato remedy was bs she had dumped every can that contained any tomato ingredients on the pup into the tub. From Ragu, to salsa and spaghetti on. It was a disaster. Dawn dish soap baking soda, did the trick. The cleanup from the tomato was probably the worst part

My black mouth cur gets blasted a few times a year. I dread the day he meets a porcupine and suspect the outcome might be bad enough that I'll have to put him down. Peroxide, baking soda and Dawn dish detergent is always stocked at our house for skunks.

I kid you not, those dogs don't know how to back down.

The peroxide/detergent/baking soda mix sure helps, but we have also found that spraying the dog after their dry with one of the "scent-reduction" products bowhunters often use eliminates any residual odor. It also works if the skunk-smell starts to return slightly, which it often does a few days after the initial bath.

Thanks for the idea about the scent reduction hunting stuff. Should the need arise, after the peroxide, soda, and Dawn treatment, I will try that too.

The few experiences I've had though, the peroxide etc treatment has worked quite well. I recommend overdoing it!

And follow up with a good soaking with Massengill. And rinse....

x3. I have "skunk kits" with these three ingredients at both houses and both farms. Fortunately, my dogs are of the "once and done" variety...... mostly. Standard procedure is to heave them into a raceway, let them swim for a few minutes while I mix up the magic juice, pull them out and rub the concoction in. It really does take at least twice, and be careful around the eyes and mucous membranes due to the peroxide.

First application cut the scent dramatically. I hosed him off and then applied the second dose. I’m letting this dose set for awhile, give the Tussin a chance to work to the bone.

I can't believe any of you women ever made it through deer camp.


Hold into the scented bath beads.....

When my buddy & his wife ran a dog grooming salon they occasionally got frantic calls for help with a dog that got nailed by a skunk. They always did the hydrogen peroxide, dawn dish soap & baking soda thing, sometimes repeatedly if the dog got sprayed real bad.

Ratchet strap the labradoodle to an open trailer and drive to a river.

Shoot the labradoodle in the head, and throw it in the river. (#5s preferred here)

Take the open trailer through a car wash on your way home.

Throw ratchet straps away at car wash.
