To remove the stink: Mix 1 quart of 3-percent hydrogen peroxide with 1/4 cup of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent (make sure it doesn't contain bleach or ammonia). Rub this mixture all over your dog's coat. Prevent it from getting into your pet's eyes or ears. Then give your pooch a bath with a mild pet shampoo. Rinse well.
What else beside the baking soda, peroxide, and dish soap can I use to get rid of skunk smell on my dog and the house? I have also used tomato juice/sauce and diluted vinegar. Thank you.

Apparently toothpaste works on people, but you would have to make sure to wash it all off, so they don't eat it.
Bulk douche powder by the handful in gallon jug of water. Treat area, dog or car. I wouldn't put it in the dog's eyes, of course.
The only safe and effective product I have found for skunk spray on my dog and house is Odorxit concentrate available on the web.
Help! We need a home recipe for skunk smell remover "without" hydrogen peroxide. We understand it would bleach our Irish Setter's coat. Thanks!

When our Pekinese had its encounter with a skunk we used tomato juice and it worked pretty well. It didn't remove the smell completely, but it lowered the smell dramatically (you had to put your nose up beside him to smell it) and after two or three days it had no smell at all.
Beer helps the smell of skunk if tomato juice doesn't help.
Many years ago, my Alaskan malamute brought skunk spray into the house and I didn't realize it until she had rubbed it into the carpet. My (female) vet recommended a solution of douche concentrate & water - on the dog & on the carpet.
My daughter's dog got sprayed by a skunk. Is tomato juice really the best remedy?
I feel your pain trying to figure out what works best. I have a black lab mix who loves to mess with skunks, so I've had to figure what works through trial and error. Lots of error... I've learned tomato juice does not work. The Peroxide/baking soda mix does work after a few washes and dryings of his coat. But the best I've personally tried is something called DoggiCleen.
My 26 lb dog Buck was sprayed in the face by a skunk. I used the baking soda, Dawn dish soap and hydrogen peroxide mixture to remove it from his face. However, unfortunately the skunk spray went into both his ears. I was thinking of using hydrogen peroxide in the ears with Q-tips and cotton balls to get whatever I could of it out. Does anyone have a better idea of what to use? I'd hate to cause him any ear problems.
His poor ears inside smell so bad and he probably is getting it into his throat? I can occasionally get a whiff of skunk from his mouth and nose, but I carefully washed him in the tub with the skunk solution I made then washed his head with no tears conditioning shampoo and lots of water to get the spray out of his eyes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for Buck in advance.My Shepherd got skunk sprayed and I used the peroxide solution. I rinsed it off 2 days later now he is shedding very badly. Is it because of the peroxide?
My dog is an outside dog, 24/7. We have a family of skunks living on our block. All of our homes are old model homes not trailer houses. My dog unfortunately attacked one and killed it and of course in the event he was spayed, probably several times. He then ran underneath the house. He will not come out and the smell is strong.
I have tired the vinegar in cup in the rooms that smell and replaced window unit filters. I have fans going and candles burning. I am using air freshener daily. The dog hates water and so bathing him would be a fight. By the way he's a really quick and big dog. I don't know what else to do.I am looking for a solution for a lingering skunk smell on my German Shepherd dog. She has had 3 baths with the baking soda/peroxide/dish soap mixture that worked well. But she still stinks, especially after getting wet.
I know it takes a long time to completely get rid of the smell. But I am wondering if someone knows of a deodorizer of some sort that I can perhaps spray on her or wipe her down with? Thanks.I want to make the home remedy of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and Dawn soap. It's 10pm and no stores are open. I am out of baking soda, can I just use peroxide and Dawn soap?

My dog was just sprayed in the face by a skunk; what can I do?
By Jamie
Handful of bulk douche powder for each gallon of water. Pour and soak. I wouldn't put it in the dogs eyes.
My dog got skunked last night and I used the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda and liquid soap method that worked very well on his coat. The problem now is that when the dog got sprayed by the skunk, he was barking and apparently got a mouthful of the spray also.
I would like advice for how to get skunk smell off a dog?
