FAQs
Help! My dog (or cat) just got skunked!!!
Don’t panic … and don’t let them in the house either (if you can help it) – they’ll rub up against every rug, carpet and piece of furniture you own (personal experience). Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
1Qt. 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
1/4 cup Baking Soda
2 tsp Dawn Liquid Dish Soap.
Steps:
- Do not spray your dog or cat with water yet.
- Mix the above ingredients together. It will fizz.
- Soak your dog or cat’s fur with the mix and let it soak in for about 20 minutes. Keep the mix out of your pet’s eyes. Use a sponge to clean his or her head and around their eyes.
- Knead the solution into the fur, be sure to get every part of your pet with the mixture.
- After about 20 minutes rinse thoroughly with water.
Notes:
- Avoid contact with your pet’s eyes. If your pet’s eyes are red and swollen, contact your vet.
- Don’t premix the recipe. Keep the ingredients separate until you need them.
- Double or triple the recipe for larger dogs. This amount should be enough for a small – medium sized dog or cat.
