Kushley - Skunk Odors
During the summer, dogs often enjoy playing outside, which unfortunately increases the chances of encountering skunks. If your dog gets sprayed by a skunk, here’s an effective method to organically eliminate the skunk odor:
🦨 Thoroughly wet your dog's coat with water.
🦨 Use a cotton ball to dab Kushley around the face area, being careful to avoid the eyes.
🦨 Slowly pour Kushley over the entire coat, again avoiding the face, especially the eyes.
🦨 Massage thoroughly throughout the coat to ensure even distribution.
🦨 Rinse and repeat if necessary to ensure the odor is completely removed.
🦨 Follow up with a pet shampoo to thoroughly condition your pet's coat and restore the skin's natural oils.
This method will help keep your dog fresh and clean, even after those adventurous summer playtime.
