Natalya had a disagreement with a skunk last night. Based on the smell, the skunk won decisively. π
We've all heard of home remedies. Tomato juice baths, baking soda paste smeared everywhere, hydrogen peroxide and vinegar rinses, and the classic move of just sitting outside questioning your dog's life choices while the neighbors close their windows. None of them do much because skunk spray contains sulfur-based compounds called thiols, and thiols bind to skin and coat proteins and hang on for dear life.
This is one of those times medical ozone does something you can explain with clear chemistry. Ozone is a powerful oxidizer. When it contacts the thiol molecules in skunk spray, it breaks the sulfur bonds and converts them into odorless sulfonic acids, destroying the stinky molecules at a structural level.
The smell doesn't just get masked or covered up.
Natalya got a full ozone bath using the ozone pet shower, which converts regular tap water into ozone water and after just one session the smell was dramatically reduced.
The ozone pet shower hooks up to any standard tap at home. So the next time your dog decides to investigate something black and white waddling through the yard at dusk, you'll be ready.
