Well, after 33 years of owning dogs...

Although I've never seen a skunk here, I sure can smell them at night and first dawn. We have a lot of groundhogs and a trapper once said skunks are lazy and live in abandoned groundhog burrows.

Leslie, that's my biggest fear. I'd be freaking out to the point of a heart attack. Logan would have to be alone outside and that's never happened.

My first thought was Quinn. Is she OK? Will her next words be "P.U.Skunk?"

I hope Boone (and Kersey) are more sweet smelling by the day. Did you check at Petco or PetSmart? There's gotta be something out there that works, but on the web are the ingredients Taz mentioned.

Good Luck.

Belive it or not Tea Tree shampoo will work. You can use a small amount on the dog and water it down. A little will go a long way. It's a trick I learned while in beauty school. As for your Ac's take out the filters and use a diluted bleach sloution to get the smell out. Then rinse them in your sink. It worked for my neighbor and their black lab mix so I am sure it will work for you. Best of luck and I hope it all works.

When Zoee got skunked I didn't realize she got it until I had already let her in my brothers house. She began to rub her face on the carpet trying to get it off. So my brothers house smelled like skunk for a while. He shampooed his carpet about 10 times.
I got the smell under control enough that Zoee did not have to stay outside. She just wasn't allowed up on the big bed for several months. Even that morning (4am) that it happened I kept her in my nieces room with me to get a couple more hours of sleep.
I've smelled tons of skunks, dead on the road or the scent from far away. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is like the fresh smell of skunk. Zoee doesn't like baths, but she willingly hopped right in the tub that morning.

Then almost two years later we were driving and I hit a fresh skunk that was dead in the road. I turned back to look at Zoee in the back seat and she had this look on her face like - Oh no, not again. Or - I didn't do it!!! It was a very sad face. hee hee

Just keep bathing him. And remember the smell will always be there when he gets wet for several months to come.

Oh NO!!
I'm so sorry.

I hope something works soon to make the smell go away!

Has Boone lost his stinky smell ? I hope you've found something that
gets rid of the smell quickly so he can come inside again.

Nope. He's absolutely horrendous. When he is in the house, he's confined to his kennel. The room that his kennel is in is just absolutely unbearable. He and Kersey slept indoors last night but Boone, of course, has to be in his kennel. He's outside all day and at night I let them in and he can sleep inside where it's cool and comfey. I have no idea when the smell will get better. Right now it's so disgusting I can't stand even touching him or having him in the same room as me.

We used a whole bottle of Skunk Remover made by Nature's Miracle I think. No improvement at all. Used a whole bottle of doggie shampoo and I added tea tree essential oil to it, no improvement. Used 1/3 bottle of dish soap, no improvement. Used baking soda/peroxide/dishsoap and no improvement.

I am at a loss as to what else to do.

Oh wow, poor Broone & poor you too. He must have gotten a really
good dose of spray. Does your Vet have any suggestions or does it just
take time & baths?
