HazyWal Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I have recently moved house and at my last house I had massive pine trees in the small yard. Maddie has a patch of sap and dirt stuck to it on her ribs and and a bit near her leg and I cannot get it off for love nor money. She had a hydrobath last week and that didn't shift it at all. Any tips on how to remove it? TIA You can see it on her ribs in the pic...excuse Stanley flashing his bits to all and sundry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VizslaMomma Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Quickest one I have used is this: Rub the dog’s sticky fur with one or two teaspoons of butter. Keep rubbing until the sap has dissolved. Butter is also edible and safe for your dog to lick, and it's effective as a solvent on wet or dry fur. Scrub the area with dog shampoo and rinse with warm water. Comb slowly through the treated dog hair. Repeat the entire procedure until the sap is removed completely. What I like is it's dog-gone safe :) from some online site that I forgot to name on my files..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareyJ Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Peanut butter! I lent on a post on our new deck on the weekend which has sap seeping out of it (whole other issue!)and it went all over my dress. I lathered it in peanut butter, rinsed in warm water and amazingly it dissolved it. I also had some on my skin and lathering with hand sanitizer removed that. good luck from keeping the dogs from licking the peanut butter when your trying to clean it off!

Bjelkier Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Peanut butter! It works great on the long coated dogs so should be brilliant for a short coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazyWal Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Wow thanks guys! I have all three things in the cupboard so I'll give them a go. It's been on there a week and it's hard and crusty so I want to get it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbear Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I dont use it in general but when my old goldie used to turn into a stinking swamp monster from our local "lake" pantene was the only thing that would shift it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
