Skunk Odor Remover - from Beth Barron

1 Bottle Hydrogen Peroxide 1/4 cup baking soda
1/2 bottle of Water 1 tsp dog shampoo

Mix hydrogen peroxide with water. Add baking soda and dog shampoo. Mix and pour into a squirt bottle/sprayer. Spray entire bottle onto dog, being careful not to get it directly into his eyes/nose.

Let everything stand for 5 to 10 minutes while working the solution into his fur. Rinse - the dog will have no odor! You can have the dog on your lap and you will not smell skunk!

Note: Vinegar and tomato juice are acidic solutions which can solubilize and wash away the stinky components of the skunk. However, you can never really wash away 100% of the stench which is a sulfur containing compound. The peroxide oxidizes the sulfur to a compound that has no odor.
