If your dog, even your cat, has an unfortunate run in with a skunk, instead of the messy tomato juice and vinegar remedy, try beer! Combine 2 bottles of beer with 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract in a bowl. Using a wash cloth, rub this solution all over your pet’s fur. Let this sit for about 5 minutes then bathe him as usual. The yeast cultures in the beer will break down the water-resistant oils in the skunk’s spray and the vanilla acts as a natural deodorant. Now you can breathe again!
