What De-Skunking Treatment includes.

    A de-skunking process refined over years of Michigan skunk seasons, not an internet tomato-juice recipe.

    The smell stays in our tubs, not in your bathroom, your towels, and your hallway carpet.

  3. 03

    Simple Starting Price

    De-skunking treatment starts at $15. Call for an appointment and get it handled fast.

  4. 04

When You Need It

When do you need De-Skunking Treatment?

If any of this sounds familiar, it's time.

You will know the moment it happens. Here is when to call us, and why sooner beats later every time.

  • 01

    The direct hit

    Face-first curiosity, full spray. Call us right away, because fresh skunk oil is far easier to treat than oil that has set into the coat.

  • 02

    The mystery smell at the door

    Your dog came in from the yard smelling faintly of burnt rubber. That is skunk, and it gets stronger every time the coat gets wet.

  • 03

    The midnight yard break

    Skunks are most active at dawn and dusk. If the late-night potty run went wrong, keep your dog off the bed and call us when we open.

  • 04

    The repeat offender

    Some dogs never learn. If yours treats skunks as a personal project, save our number, because you will need it again.

  • 05

    Home remedies made it worse

    Tomato juice mostly makes a pink, smelly dog. If the DIY route failed, bring your dog and what is left of your patience to us.

  • 06

    Skunk plus everything else

    Rolled in something after the spray? Add a regular bath or de-shedding to the visit and reset the whole dog.

De-Skunking Treatment Reviews

What customers say about Dog O Mat.

  • EJ

    Emily Judge

    Self-Service Dog Wash

    “Absolutely the best self grooming experience ever. Quick, inexpensive, all you need to bring with you is your dog. 10/10 even when you bring the worlds hairiest dog.”

  • BF

    Betsy Finn

    Self-Service Dog Wash

    “I have been here twice. Both times were great. I opted for self service. Doggie shampoo, conditioner, and no-tears face wash were all provided, as well as ear cleaner....cotton balls, towels, etc. After a nice warm shower in the doggie bathtub, it's over to the drying station, with a lovely high powered blow dryer (with heat) for sigs. I spent 30-45 minutes here washing and grooming my 90lb lab. The best part? The hair doesn't go down my drain at home. Staff is great. Helpful to first time visitors too.”

  • MS

    Mark S

De-Skunking Treatment FAQ

Common questions about De-Skunking Treatment.

If your question isn't here, give us a call at (734) 769-1492.

Do I need an appointment?

Not for self-service baths or nail trims. Walk in any time during business hours, no appointment needed. Full-service grooming and de-skunking treatments are by appointment, so give us a call at (734) 769-1492 to set a time.

What are your hours?

We are open Thursday through Monday: Thursday and Monday 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm, and Friday through Sunday 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. We are closed Tuesday and Wednesday.

How late can I start a self-service bath?

The last bath starts 30 minutes before closing, so plan to arrive with enough time to wash and dry your dog.

How do I request a call back?

Use the form on our contact page and we will call you back.

How much does de-skunking cost?

De-skunking treatment starts at $15, by appointment. Call us as soon as it happens, because fresh skunk oil is easier to treat.

Should I try tomato juice first?

Save your tomato juice. Home remedies usually just spread the oil around. Bring your dog to us and we will treat it properly.
