Sprayed by a Skunk?

Being sprayed by a skunk is never a pleasant experience for you or your pet!  Avoid letting your pet inside your house or car until at least one treatment completed–the smell can be very difficult to remove from your upholstery! 

This recipe is the most effective method we have found for de-skunking your pet:

1 quart of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)

1/4 cup Baking Soda

1 teaspoon liquid dishwashing soap

Wear kitchen gloves and old clothes during the bathing process.  Wet your pet well, then soak your pet with this solution, massaging it in well–keep it away from the eyes, ears, nose and mouth.  Leave it in for 10 minutes.  Rinse with tap water, then repeat.  Allow your pet to dry.  Repeat process if necessary.

Now, cross your fingers and hope your pet has learned to avoid that black-and-white critter! 

Remove anything that may be attracting the skunk to your yard–pet food should not be accessible to wildlife.  Block or fence off hiding areas, such as under decks, garden sheds, etc.

 Be sure your pet is current on it’s vaccinations…
