Skunk Off Pet Shampoo – Ready to use Skunk Odor Remover for Dogs, Cats, Carpet, Car, Clothes & More – Skunk Shampoo Non-Enzymatic Formula (1 Gallon)

Skunk-Off Pet Shampoo: The skunk spray odor is a mercaptan that is in the same family of odors that are used to scent natural gas so leaks can be quickly detected. This is the reason why treating skunk spray must be so thorough. Miss anything and you will still smell “skunk”. The standard treatments until 1978 were shampooing, tomato juice, and diluted vinegar. All of these are helpful to the degree that they wash some of the skunk oil off the sprayed object, most frequently a dog. However, what isn’t washed off will continue to cause problems for six months to one year after the hit. This is particularly true when the vapor pressure drops and the dried skunk oil can vaporize more easily (hot muggy days, when the dog gets wet...) In 1978 Skunk-Off became available to veterinarians. It had been tested at a leading university that maintained a skunk colony. It was found that when its formula came in contact with the skunk oil, the odor was eliminated. --- How to use: Wipe off excess skunk spray in areas of a direct hit. Using Skunk Off Shampoo wet the coat and then apply liberal amounts to the affected area, let stand for 3-5 minutes, rinse thoroughly and let dry. If pre-treatment has occurred, 2 or more treatments with Skunk-Off may be needed to totally eliminate the odor. If after application any skunk odor remains, that means Skunk-Off has not come in contact with the skunk spray. Locate the missed spots and re-apply. Rinse and let dry. Caution should be used to protect your pet’s eyes. --- ‘My Dog Rolled in Something’ Odor: Fecal matter from deer, opossum, fox, and other wild animals plus dead carcasses are a great attraction for dogs to roll in. The reasons for this vary but most feel it is an ancestry issue that helps with their instincts to disguise their own scent when preparing to hunt. Bathing the pet can help but shampoos generally do not eliminate odors. A 1:1 mixture of Skunk-Off Shampoo with a cleansing pet shampoo will handle these odor issues easily.
