Skunk juice
Harry
I recently moved to an area where there seem to be a lot of skunks.
I also recently got a dog.
By my math, it is only a matter of time before the dog and one of
the local skunks get a little bit too well acquainted with each
other.
I have heard that tomato juice is the best thing to use in removing
skunk odor from a dog. I have seen some debate about whether it
needs to be fresh or whether it can be canned tomato juice. Canned
seems more convenient, since I could lay in an inventory of that.
Advice?

Teach your dog to wear goggles if he's going to get sprayed.
An acid such as tomato juice will neutralize part of the odor.
This mixture will destroy it all:
1 bottle peroxide
1/2 bottle water
1/4 cup baking soda
1 tsp shampoo
Mix it, put it in a spray bottle, spray the dog, work it in like shampoo
(avoid the eyes), let it sit ten minutes, rinse.

Canned is fine. I remember taking up a collection from the
neighbors when my dog got sprayed when I was a child.
But they sell more efficient de-skunking solutions at pet stores
nowadays.

That's fair enough. I will also forgive you making many typos,
which you seem to be very prone to doing.
Well, so am I.
I do not, however, think that you should reply to messages unless
you think you have something worthwhile to say. There are other
ways to test your posts.
Other people will disagree with me on this, but I also find the
practice of posting to the top to be remarkably obnoxious. You're
much too nice of a girl to do that shit. Learn to post to the
bottom.

Okay. This makes some sense.
I'm trying to think what size bottle of peroxide. I'm imagining
about 12 ounces in a brown bottle.
Once it's empty, then use that same bottle for the water.
Sound right?
Fwiw, if and when the skunk gets my dog, I think we'd need to be
doing this about three times over, if not more. I was planning on
using several gallons of tomato juice.

I've heard that people use several cans at a time and that it doesn't
remove all the odor. Maybe people keep pouring on more trying to get
rid of the rest of the odor.
I like pump-up garden sprayers. Most squirt bottles aren't dependable,
and if you need to apply more than an ounce, it's easier with the
pump-up unit.

Why, I thank you Harry, I guess I'll fit in this group after all.
People have paid a lot of money to MENSA to find their IQ and you tell
ME for nothing. Must be my lucky day.

Don't think SIZE Harry. Think strength. Don't wanna burn the doggy or
dye his hair now do we!

LOL and your IQ is?

Stand him in a tub then you can always re use the tomato juice for
cooking. It'll make a nice soup or a pasta sauce.

Look...
I took that to be a serious recipe for cleaning skunk juice off the
dog. Maybe I'm just gullible, but it seemed to me like a serious
reply to my original question.
Nobody wants to burn the doggie, but Hydrogen Peroxide is generally
sold in certain standard dilutions. I'm not going to go look just
at the moment, but it seems to me that it's something around 5%. I
could be wrong about that number, but I don't think the dilution
rate that is sold in the stores varies all that much.
What might vary is the size of the bottle.
Rightly or wrongly, I believe peroxide is normally sold in the
drugstores that are local to me in 12 ounce bottles that are
typically brown in color, I have no doubt that larger quantities
can be purchased if need be.
The recipe above said "bottle".
The person who posted it presumably knew exactly what he or she was
talking about, but I wanted it to be more specific. To my way of
thinking, a 32 ounce bottle is somewhat larger than a 12 ounce
bottle. You might not be aware of that, but you're probably a
product of the public educational system. I figure you might even
be a school teacher yourself.
What I think, is that you go find a 55 gallon drum of peroxide, hang
it up from your rafters -- assuming you have any -- with some yellow
nylon rope, hook it up to an enema thingie, and shove it up your
ass.
You'd probably get off on that.

My bottle is 6%W/V and using the concoction above would make too
strong a mix. I can easily purchase stronger peroxides over the
counter.

I like animals Harry and wouldn't want to hear you'd put your dog in
any discomfort and then you go say to do this.
Watch your eyes if you do this peroxide method Harry, sometimes the
dog shakes and the peroxide goes everywhere, watch your clothes too,
they'll be covered in bleach spots.
> You'd probably get off on that.
Remember the mixture is explosive.
