PSA: PLEASE DO NOT use tomato juice on a skunked dog at the pet wash!
The Pet Deodorizer option on the pet wash machine is specifically designed to neutralize ALL nasty pet odors, and is highly effective for skunk odors! Please DO NOT use tomato juice on your pets at the pet wash!
We had an incident this weekend where an entire jug of tomato juice was used on a skunked dog, and it completely clogged the hair trap and drain inside the machine. This caused tomato juice slime, tons of dog fur, and water to back up inside the machine which created a mess on the floor of the pet wash, and the skunk smell was still there hours later.
There have been numerous skunked dogs getting baths at the pet wash over the years using only the Pet Deodorizer option, and you couldn't even tell they had been there..NO skunk smell and NO huge mess to clean up afterwards!
We apologize to the patrons who later came in to wash their dogs, and had to deal with the smell and messy floor before I got there to clean it all up.
If you notice a mess like this, please do not hesitate to send us a message so we can come in right away and take care of it. It would be much appreciated! Thank you!
