I swear by plain old tomatoe juice. Having had a dog that was sprayed
3 times in one year, believe me it works...

i had a dog that spent every summer trying to clean out the skunk
population. i used to wash her with coffee and then rub the grounds
into her fur.  it helped a lot.

that is good to know about the coffee, pjt.

I was just now looking, and coffee is acidic, like tomatoe juice.

"Skunk spray is alkaline" (high ph)

So what the remedies must have in common is their low ph.
