Help! Marshmallows are stuck in my dog's fur. What should I do?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would try brushing his coat with a long bristled comb or brush to get the residue off. If that doesn't work I would try a cool water bath with Dawn dish soap. Good luck and kisses to Marahall!

Hi there, and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You could try washing your puppy in dawn dishwashing fluid and using a flea comb to pull off the eggs. Sometimes we have to clip the hair if they are completely stuck tightly-you may end up having to do this in places.

Vegetable or mineral should have removed a majority of the residue. You can use a fine toothed comb to "brush" out the rest of it. Once you're done, cleanse the area with a few drops of Dawn dish soap and warm water.

If the poop is just stuck to the fur I would recommend either soaking it to get it off or if you have a dog clipper (like a groomer uses, not scissors) and clip it off. To soak it, I would take a wet wash cloth and just soak it until you can take a dog comb and comb it out. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Poor Trex! You can try coating it in organic coconut oil to see if this helps to slide it out easier. If that doesn't work, you need to have him examined by the veterinarian to have this removed before it causes an infection and further discomfort. Wash off the coconut oil afterwards. I hope it works!

I am sorry but I am afraid there isn't a good solution to get it out. You can try baby oil to help it unstick from the skin but I think the best solution would be to take him to your vet and have them clip it out. He will have a bad hair cut but it is better than that area getting infected and needing much more involved treatment. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! These sometimes can be high in calories and sugar and may cause stomach upset resulting in diarrhea, vomiting and perhaps innapetence. However, there is a good chance that Sam will be just fine. If you notice the previously noted symptoms, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good day!
