"My Golden/Lab mix is just a crazy girl - it was only a matter of time. She got a face and chest full of SKUNK! Good thing we had De-Skunk on hand, used it within about 20 minutes and she no longer stinks - we do have to replace her collar, but that's okay."

"I was VERY disappointed in this product!!! The peroxide,baking soda, dish soap worked much better than this. I couldn’t tell I even used this shampoo on my two dogs that were sprayed. Be sure to use a washcloth when clean the pet."
