As a team filled with dog people, many of us have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with one of our pets getting sprayed by a skunk. On the plus side, having such a team also means sharing advice. Caring is sharing!
Here are a few pieces of advice/remedies that have worked best for some of our team members.
- 4 cups of hydrogen peroxide (3% strength)
- 1/4 cup of baking soda
- 1-2 teaspoons of liquid dish soap"
Pro tip: 💥 Don't play scientist – no bottling for later, unless you're into mini explosions.
Another team member had this tip:
"When all is said and done, putting coffee beans in bowls around the house actually helps absorb the stink out of the air too!"
Finally, everyone has different comfort levels when dealing with messy situations. One team member suggested:
"Some vets/groomers offer a special cleaning service if you're not interested in dealing with it yourself!"
