re: Dog skunked

Unfortunately, there is no quick fix.

Our dog was sprayed and my wife immediately washed him multiple times with peroxide, dawn, etc. It took the initial "big" odor off, but the smell lingered on him and in the house for 7-10 days (at least). Buy some charcoal odor reducing pouches and put them around the house. Open windows during the day to try to circulate some fresh air. That's really about all you can do. The only saving grace for us was it happened in early spring where it was at least cool enough outside to make the windows being open pleasant.

Do not let some hippy talk you into humanely trapping it.

Trapping them isn't the problem. Getting them out of the trap without them spraying is

My wife's little havapoo got sprayed last year. She ran whimpering into the house and before anyone could stop her jumped right into a laundry basket of clean clothes.

Yes and if possible find some charcoal filters in your size.

Open bags of charcoal and let it sit where the smell is worst.

Train Mae to not get near a skunk. I always rub some Tabasco sauce under my dogs lip flaps when she does something wrong as a training method. Works great.
