Most vets and pet stores will carry a skunk scent-removal formula which works better than tomato juice and doesn't stain the fur or leave them smelling like tomatoes. We got ours from the 24-hr emergency vet (back in Ontario, though). Just be prepared to smell skunk for a week or so around the house. Also, the smell tends to come back every time the dog gets wet for the next few months.
At least, that is my experience with the whole matter.

Yeah, that's kind of what this smells like. I got my wife out of bed and she almost threw up.
My poor dog is completely miserable. That'll learn her, I guess.
My wife just went to the drug store to get some hydrogen peroxide. Apparently there's a mixture of peroxide, baking soda and dish soap that works pretty well.
