What should you do to get skunk smell off your dog?
Here is a great method: 1 Quart of 3 percent Hydrogen Peroxide
1/4 Cup Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon of Dish Soap (breaks up the oils in the skunk spray... the baking soda and peroxide take care of the smell).
This will fizz when mixed so use it right away. It will explode if you try to store it, so make only what you will use. You can always make more if you need it. Use like a shampoo. Work into the dog's coat thouroughly, but be careful of the dog's eyes. Use a wash cloth around the eyes. Rise thouroughly. This works great and it is really cheap to make. One application de-skunked a dog hit at point blank range!!! Jerry

How long will a skunk smell last in the home?
I can remember my dog getting sprayed when I was kid and me bathing her in tomato juice to get rid of the smell, but I swear I could still smell it on her for 5 or 6 days after.
No. They just reek.
My dog was sprayed full in the face with his mouth open. He foamed at the mouth a little, and his eyes were bloodshot, but other than the smell, he was none the worse for wear in about an hour.
See other wiki answers for getting rid of the smell.

Does vinegar and baking soda rid dogs of skunk smell?
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!
They are omnivors; they eat small rodents, lizards, frogs, eggs, bugs etc and and all manner of leaves,shoots, flowers and roots. Carrot is a root so it is always possible that if a skunk finds one it will probably eat it, if only for the moisture.
Add 2 parts pinesol to 1 part toothpaste (i prefer mint) and apply to the burn area. Cover area with taped down glad wrap and wait 2 hours. remove glad wrap and let it air out overnight. finally, rinse with water. If the smell persists, consult a professional in the yellow pages.
How do you stop a skunks from digging in grass?
Skunks find grubs and worms by digging. You might cover the grass with netting, but they'll probably just dig through it. I don't know of antiskunk spray, maybe you could leave the sprinklers on, or have a sensor turn the sprinkler on when a skunk breaks a beam of light.
