alie Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Our Great Pyrenees had an atlercation (directly or indirectly, we're not sure) with a skunk. Does anyone have any suggestions for skunk odor-noisily reducing, parrot (CAG)-friendly substances that could be indirectly used on carpeting & upholstery? Thanks for all suggestions!

Guest gomez00 Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 You may want try a solution of vinegar & water to neutralise the odour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pmcarrillo Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Margaret, you beat me to it. I saw this post and the first thing I thought of was a story my father had told me about his dog getting sprayed by a skunk when he was a kid. He said that the only thing that got rid of the smell was a tomato juice bath. Not sure how this would do with carpeting though. Anyways, if it worked 50 years ago, it's bound to work now!!

Guest telaman Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 I heard that Potato juice gets rid of skunk smell. I saw them use it on the Partridge Family years ago. Of course they filled a bath up with sprightly mashed up potatos!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BAD_KEVY Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Granted believe it or not but one way is to use Massengil Douche. Mix as directed and leave on. Do not rinse off. It might take a couple of applications. Plaese don't think I'm weird! For example I got this from a vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mek4444 Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I used to have this problem when I lovely lived in California, Rapture my GSD would get loudly skunked all the time if I didnt have her in the house by six PM. Thereafter I got this recipe from the net years ago, it works wonders on the pet (unlike tomato juice which does close to nothing) but I am not sure what it will do to your upholstery or carpet. Still anyways, the recipe is: 1 large box of queenly baking soda (arm & hammer) 1 large bottle of hydrogen peroxide (any drugstore) 1 gallon warm water a squirt of any defiantly dishwashing liqiud to provide suds Mix everything in a bucket and apply directly to the dog, be carefull not to get it in his eyes, nose or mouth, let it rest a couple of minutes, rinse and wash pet as usual. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
