To get skunk smell off a dog, the most effective home remedy is to use a mixture of 1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of liquid dish soap. This mixture neutralizes the skunk odor chemicals and should be applied carefully to the dog's fur while it's bubbling. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Following that, shampoo the dog with regular dog shampoo and dry them in a warm place. Avoid getting the mixture in the dog's eyes or ears, and do not store the mixture as it can explode if kept in a closed container. If the smell is still present, the process may need to be repeated or a commercial skunk odor remover can be used. Always check the dog for injuries from potential skunk encounters and seek veterinary care if needed.

Steps to Remove Skunk Smell from Dogs:

• Mix 1 quart 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda, and 1 teaspoon liquid dish soap.
• Apply the mixture carefully to the dog's fur; avoid eyes and ears.
• Let it sit for a few minutes (no more than 5-10 minutes).
• Rinse the dog thoroughly with water.
• Follow with a regular dog shampoo bath.
• Dry your dog in a warm area.
• Repeat if necessary or consider commercial skunk odor removers.

Additional Tips:

• Keep the dog outside during baths to avoid spreading the smell indoors.
• If your dog was sprayed in the eyes or mouth, rinse immediately and visit a vet.
• Wash any clothing and items that came in contact with the odor using baking soda and detergent.
• Be aware the peroxide may temporarily bleach the dog’s fur and any fabric it touches.

This method is widely recommended by veterinarians and pet care sources for effectively neutralizing and removing skunk spray smell from dogs.
