Anyone Have A Remedy?

Need advice for a friend on how to get tree sap out of a dog's coat!

They're short coated breeds, so you can't cut it out. :laugh: (been washing and washing to no avail!). They even tried internet remedies like butter and olive oil (even a touch of WD40)....nothing worked!

Thanks in advance

something alcohol based. If you have some vodka or strong alcohol use that, or some nail polish remover on a cotton ball, make sure you the rinse the dog. Never pour the solvent onto the dog use a cotton ball, or tissue etc

I got black tar off a dogs feet using the orange based stuff remover I got from Bunnings (can't remember the name but its the one that works on sticky tape, chewing gum etc) Use a cotton ball and work on it bit by bit and when you're finished give the dog a good bath with dog shampoo and conditioner.

DO NOT use anything like "Disolve-it" or similar, even if you don't get it on the skin, there will be reactions to it.

If you aren't showing your dog. just let it wear out naturally, it will take a couple of weeks.

For one of the dogs this is possible, but the staffy actually has got it stuck in and around her ear (no idea how she did this!). Her ear was actually stuck down to her head when they found her! I'd imagine that it'd annoy her just leaving it. She has very sensitive skin too, so chemicals are a worry.... :D

You can get adhesive remover swabs from the chemist, the brand is generally Zoff, they are with the bandages as we use it to dissolve adhesive on elastoplast.

You can use it on hair/skin but you must wipe the hair and skin thoroughly with water (or preferably clean water rinse) afterward and absolutely do not get it into the eyes or into the ears!!

Otherwise it works quite well. :thumbsup:
