  Polyurethane on Coat Reply Contact Okay, so I was polyurthaning some shelves for the house.  It was drizzly today, so I did them in the shed and left the door open so they could dry. Welllll....... Kya decided to crawl under them.  She looked fine afterward, so I thought that it was okay. I just checked on her where she was sleeping and ***SIGH*** she's got patches along her back.  I've washed her about a dozen times with dog shampoo and some dish detergent and combed it out.  I think I have most of it. I was wondering if there is anything else I can use for when she decides to get into something gross, sticky, or shiny?   Amber, Chloe (crestie), Kya (chihuahua), and River (crestie)

  Re: Polyurethane on Coat Reply Contact  You did the right thing.  The solvents that would help dissolve polyurethane are toxic to dogs, even if inhaled.  Some sticky things, such as gum, can be loosened with peanut butter;-) Regional Director for Massachusetts, International Positive Dog Training Association Director, SeniorCare Pawsitive Connections Program AKC CGC Evaluator #3669 Therapy Dogs, Inc.
