Massengil douche is supposed to be the hot tip for de-skunking dogs. Really.
I should make a "your mom" joke here, but in all honesty we always had three or four bottles of that at deer camp growing up because MY mom thought it was the bee's knees for skunks and our dogs were idiots too. In my experience it kind of worked.
