Helpful tip - removing tree sap

Not sure where to post this or if anyone else knew this but......

Yesterday Buster decided to lay down on a pinecone and had his belly covered in the sap! He was very uncomfortable and I tried to wash it out, then clip it out, but the sap was right onto his skin (near his......boy parts!) I remembered reading somewhere about using BUTTER to remove tree sap from animals (and humans).

Anyways, I tried it and it works amazingly well! It has to be butter, not margarine, just rub a bit onto the sticky part and you can feel the sap melt away.

Might be helpful for those of you who take long walks in the forests!

Great tip......does it work on cars?

I was camping a few weeks ago and Mocha got sap all over her belly and I actually used a baby wipe, worked really well!!!!!

not sure if butter works on cars, but if you do a search on the website there are several topics of removing tree sap from cars!

you can also use peanut butter to those who don't have real butter, it also works on removing gum..

I think you can use canola oil as well. I saw something from someone at the shelter where they use it to get sticky stuff outta fur...

Our guys have embarrassing little bald patches where mom had to cut out pine sap gathered during their squirrel-treeing adventures. :D I think maybe I'll have to get some butter for such occasions and give it a shot! :thumbs up Thanks for the tip, Busterboo!
