> [@Jack\_Batty](#): > > Coulda been worse. Coulda been a live skunk I’m pretty sure the skunk was dead before the dog got hold of it, because there wasn’t any barking, like when it is a live critter to chase, and I don’t think the dog was sprayed, just transfer. > [@LSLGuy](#): > > Indoors Started reading “what to do when your dog gets skunked” and first thing is “don’t let the dog in the house.” Which we did so we could cleanup the skunk. Upside of global warming is that late October is mild, so I’ll be airing out the house today. I don’t think it soaked into anything. > [@wolfpup](#): > > large hairy dog like a thick-furred Bernese Mountain Dog That sounds bad. We rubbed the dog down with an online vet recommended solution of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and Dawn. Did that outside. Then I had to carry a slimy 40 pound dog into the shower, where she got a rinse, and another washing with mild human shampoo. She smells better now than she ever has. Then everything that touched the dog went in the washer. We’re going to take some time off from the backyard until any scent on the ground can fully dissipate before it gets rolled in again. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/season-of-the-kvetch-october-mini-rants/1023563)._
