What's up everyone? Welcome back to The Durbin Compound! If we're meeting for the first time,
my name is Devin Durbin. I'm here to bring you the tools, tips, and tricks
to make you more self-sufficient. So less than 24 hours ago, our dog was sprayed
by a skunk and he is now inside chilling in the air-conditioning. So I'm going to
show you an effective process to get your cat or dog cleaned off and smell-free.
So first a number one rule is do not hose them down. After the short break,
I'll show you the exact things that you need to put together and the process to make them skunk-free.
All right guys, I have no footage of us actually doing this process because it happened at night.
But what you want to do is you want to immediately--before you hose down your pet--you want to sprinkle
baking soda all over their coat, or wherever they got sprayed. I was very, very liberal and putting
the baking soda right on the spot where he was sprayed. It's basically a patch on his neck
that was about this big--just the green nastiness. Just sprinkle that baking soda all over them.
We used a sifter to kind of coat him and let him sit. Now while one of you
is letting them sit, or if you're going at this solo, you let them sit outside with the
baking soda on them. I took a cheap spray bottle like this and what you do is you add one quart
of hydrogen peroxide--thank goodness we had some laying around--and then we have Dawn.
So you get two tablespoons of Dawn, one quart of hydrogen peroxide. Put the hydrogen peroxide in the spray bottle first.
And then put your two tablespoons of Dawn in on top of it. And then you can shake
it up a little bit and agitate it. Now once you put your spray bottle back on, you're going to head back outside to your pet.
I used the entire spray bottle, or the entire quart of solution, and sprayed it all over him.
So every bit of his body that I could possibly get, I sprayed it all over him. Now you need to let that sit.
I let that sit for 15 minutes. The internet usually says 10 minutes, but 15 minutes I let
that solution soak on him. You need to keep it wet. So just keep spraying... spraying... spraying. Of course
concentrate on the spot that he or she was sprayed directly by the skunk and then let it sit.
Then after you've waited the 15 minutes, you can go ahead and spray them off with water. So you can
usually, obviously, put rubber gloves on and start to lather them up and spray them off. So you can
repeat this process if you think they still stink. The only part that still stinks on Rambo right now
is his snout, right above his nose, in between his nose and his eyes because we legitimately, you know,
can't reason with him enough to be able to scrub that area with hydrogen peroxide and Dawn.
So it is, you know, just a part that we're going to just keep rinsing off. But he's in the house and he
doesn't stink at all. You can only really smell him when you get really up close to him.
So I hope this helps you guys in the process. It might get your area a little dirty when you're doing it,
but it's a lot better than having him stink. So he actually slept in the bedroom with us
less than, you know, an hour or two after he got sprayed by the skunk. So this definitely works.
It is 100% proven. Good luck in your future endeavors!
