Question by Amber's mommy is expecting a second July 2011: Why does de-skunking shampoo...?
My dog just got her first spray of the year tonight(darn dog has to learn that the stripy furry ones aren't cats lol). Lucky for me I still had left over de skunking shampoo because it was at 11pm and nothing is open! And Thankfully it was just one of my dogs this time and not both and it was only one spray (even after she had ran back to the yard rolling around and ran back to go get it again...at least she listened to me yelling at her to stay away!)
Anyways I used Simple Soultions Skunk odor eliminator (all I could find last year during peak skunk season) and I've always wondered why it smelt like skunk spray itself, just a milder dose of it. I have no idea if it worked because she smells the same lol but we tried the tomato juice/paste last year but they were hit really bad (it resulted in a dead skunk in the end!) and had no luck that way.
Also I would like to add a note to people who only have something like Hunts Spagehtti sauce to not use that!! We were in a pinch at 2am the last time it happened and dowsed one of my huskies in it...sure it got the smell somewhat out but left a rotting food smell on his undercoat for months even after tons of baths and swimming in the lake it was horrible!
I'm just glad it's almost shedding season so she can blow the smell outta her!
So yeah I guess my question is, if you've used the de skunking shampoo have you found it smells like skunk itself? or em I just crazy in thinking it?
and yes I know you can never fully get the smell out and that it will still linger whenever the dog will get wet and what not
and I have no perioxide in the house to make the at home remedy I see everywhere
Maybe I will run out tommorrow and buy some...just weiry because it's on her face and perioxide stings!

I never really liked to use simple solution products. Try Natures Miracle, it is garaunteed to work, and i have had to use it before. You just pour it on and let it dry, then rinse it off. There is also this other brand called nuhemp, Ive heard good reviews on that but never tried it.
