Cats are capable of producing around 100 different vocalizations, dogs about 10.
A dog's sense of smell is one hundred thousand times more sensitive than ours.
Hunting is not an natural instinct in cats, they must be taught.
Dog's only sweat glands are between the pads of their paws.
If your dog happens to come across a skunk and decides to investigate, more than likely it will be sprayed. Once you have smelt a skunk, you will always know the smell. This smell lingers forever! It used to be thought that pouring tomato juice on your pet will rid them of the smell. Not true. It just makes a big smelly mess!
Here is how to rid your dog of a skunk smell. Mix together a 32 ounce bottle of hydrogen peroxide with 1/4 cup of baking soda and 2 tsp. of liquid dish soap. Wet your pet down and apply the mixture. Be careful not to get solution in your pets eyes. Try to rub in and let sit for as long as possible, 5 to 10 minutes. (We know this is not likely :) Rinse. Hopefully you won't have to repeat.
This is always an adventure. Good luck!
