My wife is a Veterinarian and she said try this concoction if all you have is home remedy stuff:
1) cup hydrogen peroxide 1) tablespoon baking soda 3-4 drops of dish soap (Dawn, Joy etc)
Mix in a bucket and massage on the animal. There will still be some odor though
If you don't wanna do this, you can see if your local pet store or Cabelas, etc has this product called "Skunk Off" or something similar. Good luck!

Thanks... If you look closely at my post, that is what I used But it's good to know that a vet agrees Just wondering if there was something I could buy that works better than the home brew? I may try another shower with more of the same mix (although he's really not fond of showers, he will cooperate once I get him in the stall).

You are lucky that he just smells bad. Our lab almost died after being sprayed by a skunk a few months back. I ended up with $1000 worth of vet bills nursing her back to health. Thought she was a goner a couple of times. The skunk spray went down her throat and shut down her system. She couldn't drink or eat for several days so she had to be hooked up to an IV. Not a fun time. Especially since she stunk really, really bad. I ended up throwing away a bunch of clothes and bedding material that she touched while recovering.

My dog got skunked a few years ago. We washed her with tomato juice, and it worked. It did take a couple times of washing her though.

LMAO! I got one for you, check out massengill douche for skunk, it works. Hit a Walgreens about midnight and get some massengill and tomato juice, when the clerk looks at you weird say...party at my house. Down here the cashier wouldn't even bat an eye.

Opening weekend of dove season my chocolate lab spotted a skunk in the middle of the field just before dawn...very obedient dog...normally...dog took off like he was shot out of a cannon in spite of my screaming like a banshee at him, he nailed the skunk, rolled it up like a ball, skunk got loose for a split second and sprayed him right in the face. Now he decides to come back to me...stinking...coughing...foaming at the mouth and rolling in the dirt. Well...much as described above I tried everything, skunk off, tomato juice, same remedy as described above...probably washed and/or treated him a dozen times over the following week, eventually the odor became less and less noticeable but in all honesty it was probably 2 or three weeks before it was completely gone...

Our Lab was skunked and we found a product called Skunk Away and it worked wonders. I think we got it at Petco..
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

My wife grew up in Mass. and apparently they have a bunch of skunks up there. See em dead on the road up there like we see opossums down here. Heard the story many times about her golden retriever getting sprayed at 11:00 one night and how the smell was so bad it had her neighbors walking outside to see what in the world was going on, lol. They spent the next 3 hours washing him in the bath tub w/ tomato juice, sauce, anything tomato related they could find. It still took a while for it to completely wear off.

Fortunately for MY nose, I've been out of town since Sunday morning Going home Sat. so will sniff around then We have a couple big cans of expired tomato juice, might be worth a shot since we're just going to throw them out anyway. LMAO! I got one for you, check out massengill douche for skunk, it works. Hit a Walgreens about midnight and get some massengill and tomato juice, when the clerk looks at you weird say...party at my house. Down here the cashier wouldn't even bat an eye. I remember seeing a young guy buy a pack of condoms and a bottle of wine at Dart Drug... and an elderly lady buying a half gallon of ice cream and two Fleet enemas. Cashier didn't mind but I was certainly still thinking...

his morning I re-washed Max the Meathead with peroxide/baking soda/Dawn. A lot of the remaining stench was on his head, so I carefully applied it to his muzzle, ears, and head without getting it in his eyes. Then after rinsing, a shampoo. It smells a lot better around here, especially with the house opened up for the beautiful warm day (73F and sunny... not bad for midwinter!) Now we are washing all the things he's been lying on, which also stink... If he ever does this again he will become a permanently outdoor dog!
