Haven't had one of those in a while, but with a new and very curious pup let's hope I don't

first 2 baths are hydrogen peroxide dawn dish soap and baking soda. Third wash if needed is tide laundry detergent just on the spot that got sprayed.
had way way too many dogs like way way too many skunks in my time...and this works for me. so far so good with sally....so far. but spring is coming...lol

Tomato juice doesn't work - at least it didn't work on ME the time that I got sprayed {LOL}.

For dogs, I use the Peroxide/Baking Soda/Dawn. Leave it on for 10 mins (if you can) before rinsing off. I find that one wash works that way, but the delightful skunk aroma returns when the dog gets wet again. Luckily it doesn't bother me too much :).
