Pet owners often face messy problems with their four-legged friends, including fleas, fur, and encounters with skunks. A pet owner, Alex Joyce, had a trail camera that showed a skunk in his yard. His dog, Ginger, was sprayed by the skunk after investigating a noise outside.

If a dog gets sprayed by a skunk, it's recommended to keep it outside to prevent the odor from entering the home. A homemade solution can help eliminate the smell. The solution involves mixing hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and liquid dish soap.
