| De Skunking...... Seems the Skunks are out and about and sharing their stinkyness with out dogs..... The Skunk Remedy Recipe In a plastic bucket, mix well the following ingredients: 1 quart of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide 1/4 cup of baking soda 1 to 2 teaspoons liquid soap Wash pet promptly and thoroughly, work the solution deep into the fur. Let your nose guide you, leave the solution on about 5 minutes or until the odor is gone. Some heavily oiled areas may require a "rinse and repeat" washing. Skunks usually aim for the face, but try to keep the solution out of the eyes - it stings. If you have any cuts on your hands you might want to wear latex gloves for the same reason. After treatment, thoroughly rinse your pet with cool tap water. NEVER, ever, store mixed solution in a closed bottle, sprayer,etc. Pressure will build up until the container bursts. This can cause severe injury. **********Notes************** 1) Clean plastic mixing containers and utensils are preferred. Metals encourage auto-decomposition of the peroxide. 2) Hydrogen Peroxide 3% solution is usually sold in pint (500ml) bottles, so you'll need two. 3) Use baking soda, not baking powder. "Arm and Hammer" is one popular brand. 4) Two preferred brands are "Softsoap" and "Ivory Liquid". As far as auto-decomposition of the peroxide is concerned, the surfactant package in these two is fairly inert. Heavy-duty grease-cutting brands such as "Dawn" are less inert, and hair shampoo is probably the worst. 5) Once mixed, the peroxide slowly breaks down into water and oxygen gas. Thus it gets weaker with time and so it should be used promptly. Additional notes from our groomers: Do NOT bathe your dog with ANYTHING else before applying any skunk remedy. Even if you have an odor eliminating shampoo. If you bathe your dog first, the skunk remedies don't work as well. Because most dogs get sprayed in the face, and most skunk solutions say NOT to get them on the dogs face, keep a bottle of Katsup handy to use on your dogs face. It's not the best solution, but better than nothing! |
