This skunk smell recipe has been published before, but it's worth having it in your back pocket because it works. And spring is coming and so are the skunks!

Skunk Stink Remover Recipe
• 1 quart of Peroxide (make sure it has not expired)
• 1/4 cup baking soda
• Dawn dish soap
• Hose

Get out your hose, put on your rain gear (depending on how big your dog is….) and get a plastic pitcher.

Pour the peroxide into the pitcher. Add about a teaspoon of Dawn and swirl it around. Get your dog ready before you put in the baking soda. When everything is ready – mix in the baking soda (it will foam with the chemical reaction) and immediately pour the mixture over the dog. Scrub it like shampooing, making sure you get all the potential skunk areas. The Dawn will burn their eyes and the peroxide will make them drool, but it gets out the skunk smell better than anything we have ever tried.

If you can hold the dog down a turkey baster and a bowl of clear water to wash eyes out works. We just use the hose to wash their faces.

Hose them off completely and stand back.
