YT 500 Club Member | Sprayed by a Skunk! Yuck! I'm at my friends house and her Jack Russel Terrier got sprayed by a skunk! Her doggy shampoo is out, what can we bathe her in? Is it safe to do tomato sauce or vinegar? (I heard those get the smell off) Thanks.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | dawn dish soap, peroxide, and baking soda. you need to wash them a few times with it, making sure you really concentrate on the direct hit area. unfortunately the smell sticks for a long time and you can smell it every time they get wet for a while. i'm not sure what part to what part you mix up the solution but this is what the bather i work with swears by. all those deskunk shampoos really don't work like they say they too. and tomato juice/paste whatever doesn't do much. edit: just found this -- 1 qt. of (fresh, unopened) 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda, and 1 to 2 tsp liquid dish soap or liquid hand soap in a medium sized bowl.

| Oh my gosh! How horrible! I hope your friend is able to get the smell off fast, and I hope her terrier is okay! I was taking Addie out potty about a week ago and turned to look at the other side of the yard and saw a baby skunk. It scared me to death. I scooped Addie up, ran for the door (while the skunk watched me with its tail up) and stayed inside hoping it would go away, which it eventually did.

YT 500 Club Member | Yea, the smell was terrible! Her house kinda burns your eyes when you walk in. I had to leave but I will text her and see if she got the smell of her baby, and recomend what you guys said. Thanks

| I grew up with dogs that had a habit of getting skunked. Downy works the best. Not only does it work on clothes, I promise it works on stinky doggies! We had a dog that got skunked more times than I could count so we finally left a bottle where we would wash her after. Use it like regular shampoo. Scrub it in and rinse out. Good luck!!
