You know, I really ought to get better at answering these.

In any case, anonymous, as noted in the skuntank entry (viewable here), your best hope is one quart hydrogen peroxide, quarter cup baking soda, and two teaspoons of dish soap. (You may wish to times this recipe by six for every foot of dog pokémon.) Mix these ingredients together in a tub or spray bottle, get your arcanine to stay still, and bathe her vigorously in this. Do not leave the solution on her fur for too long, as it will bleach it and lead to a rather upset arcanine. Also, wear gloves. Trust me. You will need gloves for this.

Alternatively, purchase a bottle of Skuntank-Off de-skuntanking spray and a bottle of skuntank shampoo from your local pokémart, spray your arcanine, and bathe her immediately afterwards. The above-mentioned solution (no pun intended) is simply the cheaper route, especially considering the fact that neither Skuntank-Off nor any brand of skuntank shampoo is sold in high enough quantities to cover an entire arcanine.

Good luck, anonymous—which I mean genuinely this time.
