Hope and Hotwire have both stepped in gum during our walk. Hope's is not too bad, but Hotwire's paw is full of it. It is all stuck in the hair and has oozed out between his middle two toes. Anyone have any tricks to get it out? Hotwire is super sucky about it and does not want to walk.....I think it is pulling the hair in his paw when he walks. I have trimmed some of it out, but i am afraid of cutting him if I do any more. GGGRRRRRR, this is right up there with people not picking up their poop!

Oil, vegetable, olive, etc. rub it on let it settle it helps to loosen it up.

I was going to reccomend vegetable oil as well to soften it up

Any cooking oil will do. When Icky stepped on a wad of gum, I spent a good hour gently pulling it out of his paw fur.
