Default Home Remedy Skunk Smell Removal

Last night my daughters year old Italian Greyhound got out the door and right in the path of a skunk. Here's the home remedy that a univ. has online to get rid of the smell. Usually we have these in our homes on hand. Well, maybe not the qt. of hydrogen peroxide, I know I don't either. It was 10:30 pm last night when she called to pick up the peroxide I had because the stores were closed by then.

Make a mixture of 1 qt. hydrogen peroxide (3%)
1/4 cup of baking soda
1 teaspoon of mild tearless shampoo

Mix all together and rub into the hair/fur of pet
let it stay on for about 3 minutes then rinse.

Don't keep this mixture on hand, use all that you mixed.

They claim it works better than tomato juice/ vinegar mix, etc,
and according to my daughter, her IG is good as new, smell is gone.
