You can use hydrogen peroxide or bleach, but if do not prefer to use chemical on your pets, you can simply use vinegar as an decent alternative. It is ideal for cleaning, laundry and eliminating nasty smell.

The Best Solution (According to my research)

- 1/4 cup of baking soda.

- 1-2 teaspoons of mild dishwashing detergent like Ivory Snow.

- 1 quart of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Solution.

- Mix in a bucket and use immediately.

- Work the foaming mixture well into the coat.

- Leave on for five minutes.

- Rinse with warm water

- Follow with dog shampoo if desired.

If the skunks sprayed your dogs in the face flush out any spray residue that may have gotten. There are several methods for getting rid of the skunks' smell on the dog. First use 1-quart hydrogen peroxide,1/4 cup baking soda, and 1 teaspoon dish soap. Mix this together. Wash your dog with the mixture immediately after he's been sprayed. Wearing rubber gloves, rub the mixture into your dog's coat, and make sure to avoid his eyes. Wait about 20 minutes before washing the mixture out of your dog's fur. Follow up by bathing your dog with a dog shampoo, and rinse well. Repeat the process 2-3 more times as needed.

The reason why dogs might smell awful is because of the bacterial infection on the surface of the  skin or inside the skin, also  at the ears

Secondary yeast or bacterial infections on the skin or inside the ears remain the most common medical reasons dogs might smell awful. Allergies often begin the process, which leads to scratching and licking that open the door for infections.
