How To Remove Skunk Smell From Dog

How To Remove Skunk Smell From Dog

So, your dog has had a run in with a skunk, and tomato juice is not working. What will work to get rid of that smell? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Over the years, our Annie has had a few run ins with skunks. After another scolding, we go into action:

 Steps to remove skunk odor:

  1. Fill a tub with water (preferably outside)
  2. Add VetDtox™ activated charcoal (3 to 4 Tablespoons usually did the trick for us)
  3. Wash, by repeatedly working the charcoal water into the fur so it gets down to the skin.
  4. Whatever charcoal water your dog does not shake off can stay on.
  5. The charcoal needs to stay on the animal as long as possible to neutralize the skunk odor, so resist the temptation to rinse it off.
  6. But the charcoal will rub off, so beware. Unless Missy or Buddy is restricted to outside, he/she will want to roll on your whitest rugs.
  7. Repeat as needed

More on Vet Dtox

The active ingredient in Vet Dtox is a high quality activated carbon. The same grade of charcoal that is used in emergency rooms across the world to treat drug overdose, food poisoning and a host of other infirmities. Many are unaware that activated charcoal is also capable of pulling offensive odors out of the air. This grade of charcoal, suitable for home use, is customarily used to pull all sorts of odors, including smoke and mold, from homes across the nation.

How does activated charcoal work?

Scientists are still baffled at the amazing characteristics of activated charcoal and have not been able to fully comprehend its characteristics. Nevertheless, it is believed that the large surface area(one football field per teaspoon), as well as porous structure is what gives charcoal it’s awesome ability to adsorb many toxins, odors and pathogens.

 Other uses for pets:

 Vet Dtox is also extremely effective at neutralizing snake, spider and scorpion poisons. Click this link to read an amazing story about a horse that was bit by a brown recluse on the neck, and managed to survive largely due to a last minute application of activated charcoal.

This book was an awakening for me. While reading it, I was seriously skeptical, but decided to give it a try. Ordered charcoal powder and capsules and I am happy to say I was amazed at the benefits of both. Excess gas and stomach discomfort, was eliminated by the capsules. I had been considering knee replacement surgery, but here again I was delightfully pleased. Made a poultice for my knee and within minutes the pain was gone, and it stayed gone until two days later. I am in the process of rebuilding knee cartilage with help from healthmasters.com. God has given us everything we need, but that need doesn't include pharmaceuticals, which are man made poisons. Choose wisely.

There are lots of testimonials and valuable information in this book so for me it was worth buying. It does require time and some imagination depending on your medical situation. As a reference guide this book is very helpful. I like the fact that it can be used for treating food poisoning, acid indigestion, drug overdoses, snake bites, filtering water. The list goes on. I have been experimenting with ac for the past few months. I just haven't figured out how to get rid of my sinus infection completely. I did get rid of my ear infections with tiny ac poultices that I made from tea bags that were cut down to size. I found the websites mentioned in this book to be full of testimonials also worth reading so I could get ideas on what else I can use ac for.

I love this book and have read is through and then referred to it countless times. It has saved our family lots of money on doctor visits and traditional medications. We have learned from it how to treat some serious medical conditions (staph infection, brown recluse spider bites, red wasp stings, food poisoning etc.) and less serious conditions (stomach flu, eczema, stomach problems etc.) The book is fascinating as well as extremely useful and maybe even life saving! This is an excellent read and every home should have a copy of this very important book that could save your life in a emergency. I give this book 5 stars all the way and a strong recommendation to buy.

John Dinsley has taken the wisdom and knowledge from his own experiences as well as the other books on the subject and condensed it into one book. Covers all uses internal and external. Explains what it is and isn't used for. How it works different forms and how it extends beyond health into many other areas. Shares historical background and uses of it. Clearly states that Charcoal is still a mystery to be revealed. Gets down to explaining what to do when you dont have the "store bought" on hand and how charcoal is everywhere just use your common sense. Valuable are all the stories interweaved throughout the book that illustrate its uses. Great book. A keeper in the library. One of the best holistic health care books on my shelf. It is thorough. It is enough detail without too much. Just right.This is an excellent read and every home should have a copy of this very important book that could save your life in a emergency. I give this book 5 stars all the way and a strong recommendation to buy.
