My creek
Awww Bitsy you goose I really have no clue what kind of scent the skunks have but from what I can work out from cartoons and movies with skunk sprayed people in them it is not very pleasant. How did you deal with Bitsy smelling? Like is a plain old bath good enough to remove the scent?The mammals we get are squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, raccoons, skunks (you smell them way more then you actually see them lol), bats and we a have groundhog we mostly see in the spring. There are foxes around but I've only the 4 or 5 times. I don't see raccoons too often, I did see one last night. I haven't seen bats in years until recently, it's nice to have them back. I can't remember the last I actually saw skunk, but you definitely know they around! Bits got spayed again this year. I see bunnies now and again. I haven't in a groundhog in awhile but he's cute. He's especially adorable when he stands on his hind legs. I mostly have pictures of the chipmunks View attachment 412570 View attachment 412572 View attachment 412573 View attachment 412574 View attachment 412576 View attachment 412577 View attachment 412579 View attachment 412580 View attachment 412581 View attachment 412582 View attachment 412583 View attachment 412584 View attachment 412585 View attachment 412586 View attachment 412584 View attachment 412585 View attachment 412586
They smell a bit like burnt tyres.Awww Bitsy you goose I really have no clue what kind of scent the skunks have but from what I can work out from cartoons and movies with skunk sprayed people in them it is not very pleasant.

I'm not sure quite should how to describe it other than skunky. Not helpful I know. Like certain animals have musky smell to them. Like ferrets, but skunk smell is kind like of a ×100 stronger and a x1000 worse! Lol.Awww Bitsy you goose I really have no clue what kind of scent the skunks have but from what I can work out from cartoons and movies with skunk sprayed people in them it is not very pleasant.

Oh he just looks so unimpressed or ashamed (I can't work out which it is lol).I'm not sure quite should how to describe it other than skunky. Not helpful I know. Like certain animals have musky smell to them. Like ferrets, but skunk smell is kind like of a ×100 stronger and a x1000 worse! Lol.
Rookie mistake is getting the dog wet at the very beginning. Do so will only make the smell even stronger and make it last even longer. Getting either a home remedy or commercial product on first before getting him wet is key. You'll have a very good chance of getting all of the smell out if you do that.
This is a good home remedy: 1 quart of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide (fresh bottle), • ¼ cup of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), and • 1-2 teaspoons of liquid dish soap.
I like adding a good round slathering toothpaste on after it to really make sure the the smell is gone or at least make smell it blend with a minty scent
There are a couple products you can use. There's Knockout which is decent but I'd recommend add toothpaste after.
You really careful around the dog's face. Bitsy been have nailed right in the face so many times!! But if you're diligent and use more products than you think you'll need. Like really douse the sucker. You'll have minty smelling dog. Be sure really rinse him well after. Water is fine after you put something on him. I swear if you put water first the smell can last for weeks! It slowly gets fainter and fainter but it can last a really loooong time.
Can you tell this isn't my first Rodeo?
Some pics of Bitsy. Also sidenote ideally you wanna do this outside. These are old pictures View attachment 412587 View attachment 412588
No! No I don't mind the smell of ferrets. Its only slightly similar to ferrets. Skunk smell just has rotten twist it. Like ferret smell mixed with rotten eggs or something. It is meant to keep predators at bay. Although the smell apparently is not strong enough to deret my dog! But not only does it smell bad, it can also be irritating to the skin. Especially if you really get nail with it like my dog has been numerous times! He's not the smartest. He'll rub his face and body on things trying to get it off. This is also where you have be careful cuz he will try rub the scent of to you! Thankfully last time he got spray my brother was up and dealt with most of it and we have definitely learned from past mistake. Because the smell almost completely gone. Barely noticeable. Speaking of smells, someone sure is gassy tonight! And by someone I mean himOh he just looks so unimpressed or ashamed (I can't work out which it is lol).
They need to put skunk scent in a spray bottle like they have fart smells in a bottle (totally revolting and immature ), I am so curious to know what they really smell like lol.

Is it gross that I actually quite like the smell of ferrets?
Too funny! Very reasonable though. He got the name Bits when he was a puppy. He has a sister that looks similar was named Kibble. So it was Kibble and Bits. But she was quickly renamed Mia. I would have renamed Bits too but he wasn't my dog at the time. I kind of hate his name, I call him Bitsy alot cuz it sounds slightly better to me.I was expecting Bitsy to be a small dog...
