How Do You Remove Gum From Pet Hair?
The sticky nature of gum makes it adhere to animals’ hair naturally. If your pet comes into contact with gum, it can become messy if not quickly addressed. In addition, the gum can become an annoyance to your pet as he tries to remove it himself. There are different ways to remove gum from your pet’s hair. Use the method that best fits your animal’s situation. Rub an ice cube directly onto the area that is affected by the gum. The ice will harden the gum, making it easier to remove. Use scissors to carefully cut the gum from the pet’s hair. Be sure to pull away the hair from the pet’s skin so you don’t injure your pet. Rub peanut butter directly into the hair where the gum is attached. The oils in the peanut butter will cause the gum to release from your pet’s hair. Work the gum out slowly with your fingers until it has been removed. Use a fine-tooth comb for additional help, if necessary.
