Over 50 years, leaned something new...

Concentrated skunk spray on two dogs has a more rancid smell than the standard skunk smell I'm used to.

Nice learning lesson at 0500 in the morning.

UGH.....sounds like the dogs will be outside for a while.

Revert to the home remedy. It works pretty good.

Found a mix of peroxide with baking soda with some liquid dish soap works pretty good.

Wifes concoction, I was looking for the tomato juice LOL

 

[Valveman]

Mix in a little Oxyclean.

This is what I was referring to. Although it’s hard to knock the tomatoes juice. I do like the oxyclean addition. I’ll keep that in mind.

This was posted on here awhile ago and I saved the link for the day that I need it.

This lists the formula that works, and explains why it works.

I have a couple barns with hay stored in them. This spring, I arrived one early morning to begin loading a trailer full of hay for a customer. As I approached the barn, I smelled skunk. Got inside the barn and whew!
Ended up losing quite a bit of hay to a skunk that decided to turn the jets on inside the barn. :thumbdown:

Where do you buy concentrated skunk spray?

Directly from the four legged supplier

It's the acid in the tomato juice that is the active ingredient. Plain old white vinegar is cheaper, works as well, and you don't get pink dogs. We use dog shampoo and a vinegar rinse. Don't let them stand in the contaminated water.

I second that formula, Ours got it so bad he was foaming at the mouth, and couldn't see. He slept in the house that night!

Well - this morning I forgot something I've known for over 50 years. Watch where you walk. Dog & I on our morning walk down the driveway. Enjoying the sunshine and warmer temps - hit an icy patch and went down like a sack of coal. Nothing damaged - except, maybe, my pride. Dog came right back and licked my face as I lay there. He was sure happy to see me back upright. I can vouch, that part of my driveway is still frozen - hard as a rock.

Dog did that to me last week when I hit a patch and went down. Broke out the Yak-Trax after that.

I usually don't have to worry. It's either exposed gravel or crusty snow. Humph - not this AM. I should look into getting something like your Yak-Trax.

Our wx has been so tempramental - daily freeze/thaw cycles.
