Skunk Remediation

Morphing to get in the last word is just a boor. But then, you wrote the book.

As someone with a determined-to-get-even & not overly bright collie, I've had to do this several times. A few additions to your recipe:

This neutralizing solution is very effective on the dog's skin & coat, however, it cannot remove the skunk oil in a dog's mucus membranes (nose, mouth) and thus it will be a couple of weeks before the dog stops having "skunk breath."

Before we learned about the hydrogen-peroxide/baking soda/shampoo concoction, we tried the tomato juice trick on our late great collie, Zeffie. A word from the wise - do not use "country-style" tomato juice. Country style juice is thicker & contains pulp which we learned gets caught up tight in collie fur. Even though we rinsed her well, for weeks afterwards I was pulling tomato pulp bits out of her coat. As well the tomato juice stained her white ruff fur pink. So while it did work in that she smelled better, I found some definite downsides to tomato juice.
