7 hours from leaving on a road trip...

[gos]

... and both of our dogs just got skunked. One in the face, one to the body.

We washed them, but it doesn't seem to get all the smell. Can't wait for the 13 hours in the car with them tomorrow.

I think I need to buy a few of those Christmas tree air fresheners and tie them around everyone's neck. Of course, as soon as the bath was over, both dogs wanted to run back outside and go chase the skunk some more.

Does tomato juice work for the smell.

[bobbyfairbanks]

no the tomato juice doesn't work. The spray is a oil and you need to get the oil out. Baking soda water and dawn dish soap did a pretty good job when my dog got sprayed.

Our dog got sprayed once. We used a mixture of water, vinegar, and lemon juice I believe. Baking a cookie sheet covered in cinnamon helped get the smell out of the house. If you Google the water/vinegar/lemon juice I'm sure you can find the correct mixture.

Getting skunked sucks.

Ok Now that I got that out of the way I just wanted to say I feel for you! Living out here in the sticks of Franktown with two large dogs I know the feeling as my dogs love to chase small animals. The part that pisses me off is every time they they chase the damn porcupines and end up with a face full of quills. Then it's a $300+ trip to the doc because they wont let me get close enough to pull them without getting pricked myself!!!

Board your pets until your return, or the interior of your car will never be the same. No matter what you try, the only thing that will completely eliminate skunk is time, lots of time.

When our dogs got skunked ( both looked like they just came out of the lake) soaking, dripping wet. EVERYTHING was tried and they ended up getting all their hair shaved off. We did have shaded areas for them and all yet every tried and true remedy did not work. Once it's in their pores and they are saturated GFL.

Put 'em on the roof. It worked for Romney.
