"So I set out to find out through FAQ, post or blog
How to loosen some gum from the paw of a dog"

(With apologies to Loggins and Messina)

My Lab-mix stepped on a large, gooey, disgusting wad of gum while on our
walk. He's got it smeared between his pads and all over his fur. I removed
as much as I could without tearing off his paw. Does anyone know how to get
the gum out without injuring the dog?

Thanks,
CL

Ice first, cracking off as much gum as you can. Follow up with
vegetable oil. Peanut butter works, too, and is easier to clean
up because your dog will do that part of the job for you.

LOL! Rocky is the one out in the hall with the gum in his paw!

I'll have to try the peanut butter. There isn't anything big enough for ice
anymore, and I don't think (my) Rocky will let me wedge ice cubes between
his toes. Now to figure out how to do this without getting peanut butter all
over the carpets! :-)

Thanks,
CL
