Applying the Skunk Odor Removal Solution
Put the skunk odor removal solution directly on your pet. Do not add water or get your pet wet before applying the solution. Work this solution into the coat and over the skin. Carefully avoid the eyes. Apply to the head with a cloth. Leave the solution on for 5-20 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly with water.
Wash with a pet shampoo of your choice, working the shampoo well into the skin and hair to lift any oils.
Reapply topical flea and tick products, such as Frontline Plus and Advantage II, in 24 to 48 hours because they are stripped from the coat along with the skunk scent.
To help your pet's skin and coat return to normal after all the scrubbing, feed Omega 3 fatty acids.
