Many people quickly panic when their dog is sprayed by a skunk. Unfortunately, this is the worst thing you can do because when you panic you make mistakes which cause the skunk odor to spread and get worse. These tips will help you to avoid making the most common mistakes which add even more difficulty to removing the skunk odor.
The first mistake most people make with a dog sprayed by skunk is bringing their pet inside their house. If your dog was just sprayed by a skunk, do not bring him or her inside your home. If you think it’s best to clean your pet in your bathtub or shower, you are wrong because by bringing your pet inside you will only spread the skunk smell from your dog inside your home. If you don’t believe me and want to do it anyway, at least wrap your dog up in an old towel or blanket to prevent the odor from spreading as much.
The second mistake people make is trying to get the skunk odor off their pet by using water and soap. Skunk smell is oil based and will not wash off with water or soap. In fact, by using water and soap you will cause the skunk spray to smear and spread to other parts of your pets body.
