Dog "De-Skunking" Recipes MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Pest Animals 22-4-5 Getting skunk smell off contaminated dogs is a challenge most rural folks face at one time or another.
A couple years ago FARM SHOW reported on a chemical engineer who had analyzed the components of skunk smells and then came up with a special mixture that reportedly works much better than the traditional tomato or lemon juice method. For anyone who missed it, here's the recipe again: 1 quart of hydrogen peroxide, 1/4-cup of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of any liquid soap known for its grease-cutting ability.
We recently heard about another de-skunking method in a hunting column in FARMWEEK, an Indiana weekly farm paper. The column quoted a hunter who says he always carries a supply of Massengale's feminine product in his glove compartment in the herbal essence scent. He swears by it and applies it full strength to his dog without rinsing. If the dog still smells when he gets home, he simply gives it a second application.
