A common answer is tomato sauce. But this will only mask the scent, not get rid of it. A chemistry professor at Humboldt University discovered a better way. Mix a quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide with a quarter cup of baking soda and a teaspoon or two of liquid detergent. This will neutralize the acids in the skunk spray and get rid of the smell.

baking soda
peroxide
dawn dishing liquid (must be the one with odor eraser with lime)
1/2 bottle generic 'smokers' mouthwash
warm water
bucket
gloves
cleaning rags
(Put warm water in a bucket, fill it half way. Put 1/2 box of baking soda, 1 cup peroxide, 5 or 6 tbl spoons of dawn, 1/2 bottle of mouthwash. Mix and wipe onto dogs)
You can also try adding:
3/4 cups of fabric softener
Also try:
bakers vanilla (dab on concentrated areas like face or nose where they may have been sprayed)
Vinegar (diluted) in a spray bottle - spray around your house or in areas where the dog sleeps/kennels.
Sources: Past experience, first three ingredients/mixture originally given to me by dog walker. (Previous post provides name of chemist who is apparently credited with the formula). The mouthwash, fabric softener and vanilla is a tip from the web link below - sounds like it might help.
Good luck, hope your hounds like baths!
