My Doberman pup has chewing gum stuck to his coat, any ideas as to how to remove it please.?

Answers:
To remove sap, tar, paint, chewing gum or other sticky things from your dog's coat, there is nothing that beats salad oil! Using a a small dish or a cotton ball, thoroughly soak the area with the oil. Work the oil into the sticky or hard place with your fingers. Blot off the excess oil with a paper towel, and wash the area with dog shampoo. Repeat this procedure if there is anything left in the fur. Don't let your dog walk around the house until you shampoo the area, otherwise you will be cleaning up oily smears and foot prints from everywhere you don't want them.

Peanut butter can work just as well as salad oil (but don't use those low fat versions!).

Use ice cubes. Try to freeze the gum but not the pup (as obviously it would be very uncomfortable) by extending the fur as much as poss away from the pup, very gently, then try to remove the gum carefully with your fingernail or suchlike.

Maybe put several ice cubes in a tea towel or flannel so it has the same effect without being painful for either your or the unwitting puppy.

---

the easiest way is to use a piece of ice and apply onto the gum stained area. Do it for a minute and it hardens. then easier to scrape off or cut off.

---

an ice cube always worked for getting chewing gum out of my hair (when some cruel kid did that to me at school) - it freezes it and makes it go hard then it's easier to remove.

---

Put it in the freezer overnight, the gum will easily come off, however dog may be slightly dead.

---

Try ice on it, thats how you remove chewing gum from carpet. It solidifies it and then it just peels off

---

Ice usually works as was already stated.if it don't about the only other option is scissors..you will just have to cut the hair out..don't worry it will grow back..

---

Use an ice cube or a plastic bag. It works alot.

---

to be honest ice will only upset the dog. if it's not a big patch cut it off, the hair will grow back fast enough.

Hope this helps

ice cubes, peanut butter

peanut butter

Peanut butter works on people so it should work. The oil makes it glide.

---

Although ice would harden the chewing gum, it might make it a bit more painful to remove. I wonder whether a slightly messy idea would work. How about warm (not hot) oil and a wide comb and tissues? This might take time, but hopefully once the worse is out, a bit of shampoo would bring the rest out.

There's also the old standby of Peanut Butter.

Friendly Hello,

I would recommend using Ice. You will need to carefully attempt to freeze the gum with the use of the Ice. Then carefully pull away the hair from the gum. That sometimes works. Another way that may work. Would be to use a reasonable abount of baby oil, or a oil like substance. The only disadvantage to that. Is your pups coat may get oily so there for a bath may be needed. I hope this helps. Blessings, Kelly

A little ice rub on it to make it harder and it should peal off. Or baby oil that should work.

---

work peanut butter into the gum comb out, this my take a few times, after wards shampoo as usual

---

first of all a dobies hair is VERY short i also have a blue dobie and there isnt a lot of hair there for gum to get stuck in. but if u are serious use peanut butter the oils in the peanut butter take it right out. this also applies to humans

---

cut off or ice cube. or you can get gum remover from most supermarkets.

---

try talcum powder, rub lots into gum, it will dry it slightly and make it less tacky and should rub off

---

freeze it with ice and it should come out

---

just cut it off, its faster and easier.

---

freeze it off or cut the hair attached

---

oils is the best thing to use either baby oil or cooking oil. use some talcum powder on the patch after to soak up any oil left in the dogs hair then use a clean wet cloth to wipe away the talc.

Hi your best just shaving the area - carefully! or cutting it out, unless he's a show pup. The fur grows back very fast on dogs esp ones with a dense fur like the doby, by the way where did you get him from?
