How to get rid of skunk smell

[RandyC]

@Dr. Jeff, @Dr. Christina Hello everyone!

Not sure if this is the right place to place this...

Our dog, ChewChew, got sprayed in the head by a skunk during our night time walk yesterday. Oof the smell......

Does anyone know any effective way to get rid of the smell? Or make it better?

Thank you!

Yes, this folder is a great place to ask this smelly question...

If ChewChew will let you bathe him, try this recipe for a baking soda and peroxide bath:
