Tree sap all over my dog. How can I get it out?

[Jody]

My dog likes to hang out under the big pine trees. She has sticky sap all over her and she hates baths. I want to take her into the tub and scrub her, but how do I get the sap out?

Looks like I need to relocated her run so she can't sit under the pines anymore.

Try a product called Desolveit. I get it at Walmart near the cleaning products. It is 100% organic. Good luck.

Goo gone....get a case but I don't know if safe for animals check that first. My mom would get gum out when I was a child with peanut butter and butter mixed together then rub in my hair?

Vaseline, of course then you have to get THAT out. but it works.

You may be able to use veg cooking oil to..if you use an oil based product or chemical... put dog shampoo directly on the areas where you used it... rub it in good, then activate the soap with water to rinse it out. You may need to wash them twice in that area.

I've got 5 dogs who love to run through the woods and by the time they come out they got pine sap all over them. I have a bottle of baby oil, I use a rough washcloth a squirt onthe cloth as necessary for each sappy spot and then I rinse the cloth with warm water and wipe them down where I used the baby oil, not only is it safe for them but its good for their coat too. Its super easy. I use it to get tar off my husband, gum off my kids hair...lol...and use it for oil paint too, on myself I tend to get it all over me. Gets super glue off aswell.

Peanutbutter!!! Trust me, it works. I had pine sap in my hair once (

). Just rub some peanutbutter in the hair, then shampoo out. It takes out all sticky stuff, and it's non toxic.
