Pet De-Skunking Services in La Cañada Flintridge, CA
When Odor Takes Over, Calm Care Brings Relief
A skunk encounter is overwhelming for pets and stressful for families. The oils responsible for the odor bind deeply to the coat and skin, making home remedies ineffective. Our professional de-skunking service is designed to neutralize odors while safely restoring coat comfort. Pet owners in Tujunga, CA, often seek immediate help after an encounter to prevent irritation and lingering odors in the home.

Luxurious Pawz is built for moments that require patience and reassurance. As a locally owned, woman- and veteran-operated boutique, we prioritize gentle handling in stressful situations. Clients from Sunland, CA, value an approach that prioritizes emotional comfort while delivering effective results when pets feel unsettled.
How Professional De-Skunking Removes Odor at the Source
Skunk odor is caused by oily compounds that cling to hair shafts and skin. Our process targets these oils directly rather than masking the smell.
Our De-Skunking Process Includes
- Initial assessment of coat condition and odor severity
- Pre-treatment rinse with warm water
- Application of a professional de-skunking solution to break down skunk oils
- Thorough cleansing and a deep rinse to remove odor
- Neutralizing finish to leave the coat clean and fresh
- Blow-dry and brush-out when medically safe
Estimated Time
30 to 60 minutes
(Varies based on coat type, size, and odor severity.)
