He’s now cleaned with oil/dawn but i’m worried of possible poisining from licking the foot (he is acting fine) as i read it is toxic, but can’t find in what quantities

He enjoyed the oil massage, lol, followed by a regular bath… went back later to massage oil deeper into the paws and got out a lot more ick. Hopefully the residual stain will wear off. Thanks again!

My puppy got melted rubber tire residue all over him while l was cutting a tire off the rim I’m kind of concerned on what to use to get it out of his fur

Thank you for the coconut oil recommendation! That is a very safe and natural way to get this stuff off – it worked so well! He is still attempting to lick the residue oil that didn’t wash off 🙂

Very clever! My little terrier has tar on his hind paw, and I was able to snip off the bits between his toes, but now I’ll try your smart solution. Coconut oil is perfect as my Humphrey loves to lick it off when I use it on my hands. Thank you!

I soaked paper towels in clumps of coconut oil and rubbed it pretty hard. I used a lot of paper towels but it did the trick. And as an added plus my dog loves coconut oil and I’ve read it is good for them.

I see this is an old thread but since it popped up when I did this search I will add my two cents. A stray kitten was dropped off at our vet hospital covered head to tail in tar, miraculously not its mouth or eyes. I did not try goo gone but I tried oils, dawn with little effect. We were desperate to save this kitten and I ran through my mineral oil and dish soap but I had peanut butter and it mostly melted off. Non toxic and worked well, I have feet and tails wrapped in PB now to finish cleaning.

I cut all the loose gobs of tar that were hanging from her paw. I put a big gob of coconut oil in a small plastic bag and slid her paw in. Then I kept massaging the oil in the bag over her paw and thru her toes. The oil quickly turned dark as it removed all of the tar. Remarkable! The bag contained the mess and protected my fingers and nails. Then washed off the residue and she was good as new.

Isn’t goo gone made from orange oil and all natural? I don’t know, when I think of Goo Gone, I’ve always though, Orange Oil and that it was all natural. I’m pretty sure it’s the orange oil that removes the “ goo” does anyone know?
