What to do if your dog gets sprayed by a skunk - Examiner.com- About: hypoallergenic dogs

Contrary to popular claims, there is no one product or process that will completely eliminate the smell of skunk spray from your dog’s coat. Keeping a few simple tips in mind, however, should allow you to remove the majority of the skunk scent from your dog, and significantly shorten the amount of time you’ll have to wait for your pet’s musky "cologne" to dissipate. The first thing to do when you find that your dog has been sprayed is to pat some all purpose flour or cornstarch into your dog’s coat. To reduce the risk of causing skin issues while effectively managing skunk odor, bathe your pet in a shampoo that is specifically formulated for de-skunking dogs. Take care not to get the shampoo in your dog’s eyes or mouth, and make sure to rinse all shampoo completely from your dog’s coat and skin.
