We kept Buddy outside while applying the solution to her fur. The smell immediately dissipated
Yes!!! That works better than anything I used. My previous baby was sprayed by a skunk. Tried the tomato juice (that just made me sick), the store skunk wash, bathed at vet's office. The last was the only other thing that helped short term.

However, the odor will linger for months and is especially noticeable when they get even a little damp much less wet (as on a rainy day).

Lemon Joy was the best dish detergent to use in the mix. After a couple of weeks I removed the baking soda part and later the peroxide and just bathed him with lemon joy for about the next 6 months.

Good luck...
