RDOG | Skunk Antedote

.
The recipe consists of only three very common household items which are probably in most people's homes already. The ingredients are:

1 Qt 3% hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda
1 tsp. liquid soap

All you need to do is wet down the dog with a hose, mix the ingredients together in a container, and then slowly pour the mixture over the dog while rubbing it into the fur. After the dog has been bathed in this solution, rinse it down with the hose and the dog will be odor free. If you have a dog that weighs 90 lbs or more, double the amounts shown above, but if you have a small to medium size animal, the recipe listed should do just fine.

Although the ingredients are not dangerous, care should obviously be taken to keep the solution out of your dog's eyes, ears and mouth. Also remember that hydrogen peroxide can bleach clothing and hair, however, my dog's fur never changed color or even faded.

Credit for this recipe goes to chemist, Paul Krebaum, of Molex Inc. in Lisle, Illinois. The above listed ingredients were published in the August 1995 issue of Popluar Science.
