Skunk Deodorizer

Skunk Deodorizer 1 Qt. of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
1/4 cup Baking Soda (not baking powder)
1 Tsp. Liquid Dish Soap
Mix ingredients together in a large bowl, and pour onto pet, rubbing the solution completely into the fur, avoiding the eyes and nose/mouth areas. Rinse with lukewarm water (not hot!). Repeat if necessary. Discard unused portion. Do not bottle this solution -- this formula is essentially a chemical engine for producing oxygen, and if bottled it will explode due to all the gas (oxygen) being produced.

Rabies is a serious disease which affects pets and humans. If your pet smells of skunk odors, it is possible your pet came into contact with a skunk. Make sure all pets are vaccinated annually for Rabies, especially those that live outdoors, and in the country. Contact Dr. Barkley immediately if you think your pet has been exposed to Rabies.
