It helps; but I have found that Spray and Wash along with a citrus dish detergent followed by fabric softener actually works better than tomato sauce/or juice, hydrogen peroxide and soap with baking soda, or vinegar with baking soda and detergent. Regardless of which method you choose remember to ONLY WASH THE EYE AREA WITH WATER, although for severe cases in the eye I have used diluted baby shampoo and quickly rinsed it well. Please also remember that water in the ears is uncomfortable for dogs. RECIPE: * In a pitcher or medium container mix 1/2 cup Spray & Wash with 1 table spoon citrus dish detergent and 4 Cups luke warm water. * In another smaller container mix 1/4 cup liquid fabric softener with 4 cups luke warm water. DIRECTIONS: * Gain your cool! Your dog has already been punished and you do not want to break your dogs trust in you and in baths. Your dog was following its instinct to protect you, so be soothing not rough and angry! * Wet the dog down and rinse as much of the skunk smell off as possible. * Wash with the Spray and Wash solution using small amounts at a time, use a wash cloth to carefully wash top of head and neck area- AVOID THE EYES! Allow to sit on the dog for a few minutes 3-4 if possible. * Rinse well - again avoiding the solution from going into the eyes. * Let the dog shake off! This will help remove excess moisture and smell. * Repeat with the fabric softener and let sit 1-2 minutes. * Rinse well. This can be drying to your dogs skin and is NOT intended for regular bathing as it can be irritating to the skin. I do suggest allowing your dog to eat a raw egg with bread, or some tomato sauce or juice to help cut the taste and smell in the mouth area. You may notice a little lingering smell for a few days and repeating the bathing practice can help but often the smell comes from the actual mucus membranes that were affected and these just can not be washed. I have found that a few drops of fabric softener rubbed in my hands and then onto the dog help this more than any other thing I have tried. Less is more! Too much will over power you and the poor dog, as well as attract dirt. At this point the dog may try to lick it off and get sick, so go SPARINGLY! Good Luck!
