How to quickly get rid of skunk stink

Many of us who have pets have found ourselves one time or another having to clean them from a nasty skunk spray. My neighboor's pitbull was skunked three times!! Although there are many new products on the market today that will help you wash away the horrible smell, did you know that there is also a product that most of us have in our refrigerator? BEER. I just found out about it very recently.

So, if your curious Fido has crossed paths with a skunk, and smells so foul that you can barely get near him, here is the fix: Rub a can or two worth of beer into his coat, then rinse with water and bathe him with doggie shampoo to remove any beer scent. Beer's yeast cultures will penetrate the skunk spray's water resistent oils so the brew's carbonic acid can dissolve them. Plus, the alcohol will kill odor-causing bacteria, resulting in a fresh-smelling cuddle buddy!

I hope you don't ever have to do this, BUT if you ever had to, hope that this quick fix will work for you.
