Dog fur may attract stray particles or sticky bandages.
Whether your kids decided to decorate the dog with cartoon band-aids, or your pup is healing a wound, adhesive bandages can be tricky to remove from dog fur. Fortunately, you can remove these stubborn, sticky surfaces, with a little patience and some key slippery substances.
Instructions
1. Cut off the fur. Use animal fur scissors to snip away the fur stuck to the band-aid. Shine a flashlight on the sticky area, to prevent accidentally snipping the skin. Only use this solution on calm dogs, who have 1-inch of fur between their skin and the band-aid: Otherwise you risk injuring the animal.
2. Soak the band-aid in vegetable or mineral oil. Massage the oil into the band-aid for a few minutes. Natural oils lubricate and dissolve adhesive substances. If the band-aid loosens but remains attached, use a fur comb to gently stroke downwards, over the band-aid, as though you were removing a mat of fur.
3. Wash the band-aid with mild soap and warm water. Heat, soap, and moisture all breakdown adhesive substances. Place your dog, or his paw, in a dish of warm, soapy water and massage the fur stuck to the band-aid.
If your dog has a wound under the band-aid, allow his paw to soak for a few minutes. Rinse his paw clean and use the fur comb to tease out the band-aid.
For non-wounded dogs, apply some dog conditioner to the area, after rising the soap. Massage him gently, until you feel the band-aid loosen.
