Advice on getting tree sap off dog fur.

[spistols]

Since moving out into the woods, my dog loves rolling in the pine and hemlock needles on the ground. Subsequently, he gets some tree sap on him.

Any old school wives' tale remedies to get the sap off that has dried, aside from cutting the hair?

Peanut butter!

Although the oil in it would probably work to get the tree sap out, I could see mine now…eating it as fast as I could put it on them. Lol

My dog & cat get stuff in their fur all the time. We have some 3/4 of an acre of ”buffer” between us and the house behind us. I leave it grow wild and they come in with hitchhickers, knits, stuff you couldnt identify without a lab and on and on….
We have a fur shedding tool called a “Furminator”.…. It is a must for long hair animals, especially cats, they get knots that you cant get out without cutting ….this thing is a great tool for this stuff.
It it like a razor sharp rake type tool (its wont cut you or your pet), that makes quick work of maintaining their coat. They arent cheap : $100+- But worth it…..And they last for years.

It will help remove just about anything stuck in their fur.

Furminator is great at removing undercoat in dual-coat breeds. Pooch will snag lots less on their coat.

Use GooGone on a microfiber cloth for sap.
