sap removal?

[cavebear]

okay so after your dog has spent a hard day working out in the bush how do you get the sap out of his fur? With out cutting or shaving:-D

[walker(bandit)]

butter or margarin

[BiG Boar]

wd40.......

[madrona sh]

I would not use WD 40 myself, any oil base will work butter, olive oil, peanut butter etc.

[blaker_99]

Butter X3 works like a charm

[Caveman]

Vegtable oil. Work it in with your fingers

[BiG Boar]

I have a hampster. Never had sap in the fur. Not really a forest animal. WD40 was a sugestion.

[hotload]

A message from my dear old mother. Cooking oil works like a charm, been there done that.

[Fisher-Dude]

Isopropanol 99% (rubbing alcohol).

[cainer]

go for butter or margarine-used it before-it's awesome-and you know he's gonna lick it out afterwards-you want him licking up wd40? someone must not like dogs for recommending that!

[Kasomor]

Peanut butter.

......the dogs prefer crunchy but smooth will work too. :mrgreen:

Butter? Really?
I use Gas, on MY hands for ME. does it compare to that? I dont understand how butter would work?

Our totally not groomed Toller gets the benefit of a pair of scissors.
Quick, easy, non fattening and no carbon imprint left. :mrgreen:

Whatever you choose to do, do NOT use WD40! I love it, but that's the last thing you want your dog licking. From a toxicological point of view, it's incredibly nasty stuff - almost guaranteed kidney and liver failure once ingested. :?

[digger dogger]

butter,margerine or peanutbutter. guys in the south use wd-40 to keep the bugs off they're dogs in the warm months! probably not to heathy for them puttin diesel and soap on a dog..

[boxhitch]

Sap is vegetable based so any veggy oil product will work to dilute it.
Plant + plant = ok
plant + mineral = not as good

Get out the plastic and have a Mazola wrestle

Oh, you were asking about the dog, not the girl
Oops

[saskbooknut]

Another safe and easy product to use is waterless hand cleaner.
It is made from animal fat reduction and is safe for the dog.
Works like a hot damn for taking paint off your hands too.
A whole lot safer than bathing in mineral spirits. Your liver keeps track of all the toxic solvents that you expose yourself too - not good.

[johnes50]

Use "Goo-B-Gone". It's citric based and easily and quickly took sap off my windshield. Smells OK too.

[pnbrock]

what grown man keeps a hamster?are you a master of the dance?

[SPEYMAN]

Not recommending WD40,but it is fish oil based.Removes all sorts of things and even gives relief for arthritis.Spray it my hands and eases the aches.

[Squire]

Try Miracle Whip sandwich spread. As a logger for 13 years I always used it to remove heavy pitch before I would jump in the shower; works like a charm and your dog won't be harmed licking it.

[Brew]

Mayo gets sap out all the time. I'm a scaler and a buckerman and it takes the pitch out everytime
