I'd use whatever the UK version of Dawn Dishwashing liquid might be (grease-cutting liquid dish soap for washing by hand - NOT automatic dishwasher detergent). You need to get him into a tub and cleaned up pronto, before he ingests it by licking. The Dawn should do a pretty good job of getting him cleaned up, but you may have to lather, rinse and repeat. And it will leave his skin and fur dry. You'll want to apply a conditioner afer he's good and clean. Kathleen |

It got 98% of the oil out of the dogs coat (Shih Tzu) |

The best way to get oil off a dogs coat is to use oil. Olive oil or sunflower oil will help break up the molecules of the grease or oil, then use standard dog shampoo to was the whole mess away. It can often take several attempts, but it does work and it is kind to the dogs skin. By the way, it works on humans too. If you've ever been on the beach and get that horrible crude on your feet. Rub some suntan lotion into the crude and then rub the whole lot off with sand. I works a treat. Kenny |
