Thanks, Dorothy - Those skunk recipes (I've tried them) stick around like a burr on your sock, but they don't work. They never have. Tomato juice on a dog - it's a waste of tomato juice. Peroxide, soap, etc, it doesn't break down the protein that is so stinky and sticks so well. It washes some off but it takes several baths and never works completely. And it can bleach the dogs' coats in the process.

The only thing that works, and it works very well, is the enzyme product called Nature's Miracle Skunk Odor Remover. PetSmart has discontinued it, I was in two stores today and there was none to be found. I had to go to Petco. You don't get the dogs wet to use this, that makes the skunk oil with it's own special stickiness spread around. You must be careful not to hit the eyes, but I put some of the liquid in an ordinary spray bottle and spritz the dogs on the muzzle, chest, neck, forehead and ears. Skunks aim for the face and they have two sprayer glands and can aim at two different animals at the same time. I also sprayed the legs and front feet this time. I'll check them in a few minutes (I was starving so I've stopped to have a banana and strawberry smoothie before heading outside.) I'm going to put some of this in my 2 gallon sprayer and pump it up and spray around the garage. And give the dogs another spritz with the small bottle.
