puppy and gloss paint

[cherryelm]

I hope someone can help my 9 month bedlington got black gloss paint on his coat from a freshly painted garden wall this mornin. How can I safely remove it?

It is really dependant on how much paint you talking about. I managed to comb some out of mine, but it was emulsion as opposed to gloss.

If it was water based paint then warm soap and water will take it out. If it's an oil based paint then just leave it alone. It'll grow out and anything strong enoung to remove it could damage the dog's skin...

Sound advice from the others, same happened to one of our cats the other day and we got most of it off by putting some Fairy Liq on a baby wipe and pulling it through, however the paint was still wet at the time. & we did have to cut the 'tips' off A N other bit. We wanted to insure all was away as cats lick themselves so much - better to cut it off than the poor wee things getting poisioned!

Thank you eveyone it is oil based gloss paint, he doesn't seem bothered by it and isn't grooming it . Iv'e tried to comb it out but its just not budging I think I'll have to cut the worst of it out and leave the rest!!
