Sprayed by Skunk!

“First, and most important: DO NOT BATHE THE DOG! Or pour tomato juice on him, or any of the other home remedies you’ve heard about…

“DEODORIZE” - You’ll want to do this as quickly as possible – both because it works best on the fresh, unoxidized compounds in the skunk “spray”, and because you’ll be suffering in the meantime. If the dog has been bathed, or even just rinsed with water, it’s not quite as effective as it would have been with fresh skunk spray.” https://www.whole-dog-journal.com/blog/Deskunking-Your-Dog-20089-1.html

For pets that have been sprayed, bathe the animal in a mixture of:

Skunk Odor Treatment- SCOE 10X

SCOE 10X is safe to spray or pour directly onto your pet after dilution, using the 8:1(8 parts lukewarm water to 1 part SCOE 10X. Use SCOE 10X like a shampoo. Keep SCOE 10X out of the pet's eyes: the surfactants in SCOE 10X will strip the natural oil from the pet's eyes.

Work SCOE 10X into the pet's coat to ensure SCOE 10X makes contact with the skunk oil. You will be able to immediately tell whether you have destroyed all of the skunk oil by smelling the fur.

After the skunk odor has been eliminated, rinse the pet with water.
