My Dogs Got Skunked

Tweet

I noticed this morning that there was a strong skunk smell around my house. When I went into the guest room, the smell was especially strong. It took me a while to realize that all three of my dogs had been skunk sprayed, and apparently had gone to the guest bed to roll around and rub the stink off afterward. At night they can only get to a small fenced area through the doggie door, so the skunk must have gone in there. To get rid of skunk smell the Humane Society recommends a mixture of 1 quart of 3-percent hydrogen peroxide 1/4 cup baking soda 1 teaspoon liquid dish soap That amount was way more than enough to do all three of my dogs, as they are all under 25 pounds. I lathered them up and left the mixture on for about five minutes, then rinsed and washed them again with regular dog shampoo. They still stink a little, but it's much, much better. Now I just have to wash the bedding, I think I will add some baking soda to the washing machine as well.
