My dog just got skunked in the face, at 1am. 😭 Just wondering what worked best for other Kees owners. How screwed am I if I wait til morning to treat it? I don't have hydrogen peroxide on hand 😭😭😭

Update: thanks for all the advice, and for all the sympathy. I basically had a two hour shower with my dog this morning. We ended up making a paste of baking soda and Dawn to put on her head and left it overnight. When the stores opened in the morning, we got the hydrogen peroxide and made a solution with baking soda and Dawn to put all over her, then rinsed and massaged in/rinsed out Skouts Honour over and over til most of it was gone. Then she got a Nature's Miracle shampoo and conditioning. Once she was mostly dry, we sprayed her with Skunk Odor Out. Her fur smells mostly okay now, but her mouth still stinks. I've heard there are some water additives to help with that, though.

She's still very mad at me, but it's nothing a rotisserie chicken won't fix.

Now if anyone has any advice about getting skunk smells out of a leather couch, I'd appreciate it!
