What To Do If Your Dog Gets Skunked – Skunk Bath For Dogs Recipe

Luckily, in the six years we have had our dog, she has never been skunked. Her mama down the block has been skunked many times. I can only imagine what a nightmare that would be to get your dog smelling clean again! 

Our guest blogging vet, Dr.Tricia Stimac, shares a recipe for a skunk bath for dogs.

If your dog is skunked, mix together:

1 quart hydrogen peroxide

¼ cup baking soda

1 tablespoon liquid soap (ex Dawn)

Apply to dry coat (avoid eyes), rub in, add water and work into a later, then rinse.  Repeat if necessary.  Flush eyes with a commercially available eye flush (sterile eye wash…never use Visine or similar product) if you dog was sprayed in the face.
