Bare, I agree with yoda, this is a tad embarrassing, but I found that the best thing that works for skunkiness is Messengil powder ,well you know . It was recommended by a vet a long time ago and IT WORKS!!!!:o

Can't say we ever needed them because I think our dog learned a valuable lesson and never got close to another skunk for the rest of her life.

Hope there are not too many skunks wandering around the Villages. Have only smelled them here rarely.

People claim it works well
 

I know there is a product from Shure Pets that people claim works well. Not sure if anyone down there sells the products.
