There're two types of dogs:

1. Eventually, the tables will be reversed.

And the game goes on......

2. Don't forget the two types of dogs and skunks

One type gets sprayed once and never lets that happen again. I have the other kind.

3. I got skunks around my place. Usually late night visits to the birdfood I put on the ground.

I suspect this spring the Skippa will be encountering a skunk up close. They are not fast and he'll be curious, so he will most likely get sprayed...

I will apply a combo V-8 with a splash of Dawn Lemon dish detergent. A Bloody Mary shampoo.

4. I use a different cocktail

Over the years I’ve found rid to be the best remedy:

1 quart of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide (fresh bottle)
¼ cup of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate),
1-2 teaspoons of liquid dish soap

Mix together and work thoroughly through the fur. Let it sit for at least five minutes Wash out. Magic

5. That's a lotta Hydrogen Peroxide, even at that level of concentration. That would scour his skin for every

available oil molecule, IMHO. I could be wrong, but I know what a couple of drops of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide does to my ears.

7. It actually works beautifully. None of my dogs I had to treat after being skunked came to any harm.

The baking soda fizzes it right up and neutralizes the peroxide, while the small amount of liquid dish det gets the oils of the spray.

Rinse well. Towel dry.

Mine never learned.

6. Hot dogs and cool dogs.
