The mowers left a large pile of grease in our yard and our dog rolled in it and is covered with grease. We've gotten a lot of the grease out with dish soap and some scissors, but he's still got a lot of grease on his face. His hair is of medium length and is very, very dense and I'd really like to get him clean and save him and ourselves from the oil stench.

Dawn dish soap is the best thing, but you do need to take care around his face. It can take several washings to get it out. Rubbing corn starch or baby powder on his fur, then washing with dish soap, may help.

I have two suggestions the best thing to use is Dawn dish detergent this is what wildlife rehabers use with oil spills.
YO(u really need to work it in and let it set for a few minutes to cut through the grease the other is get clippers and shave off all the hair and then bath.
After bathing use an inch of Downy fabric softner as a conditioner. This is what we were taught in grroming to use as a conditioner, YOu can pick your sent and you can use this anytime you bathe her
Good Luck.

Dawn is great, but if it is really bad try some corn oil or peanut butter. They both remove paint and oil safely. Rub it into the hair and towel off as much as you can. Then use the Dawn.

Go with the dawn as suggested. Keep away from eyes and ears, use a face cloth for those areas. Ad keep the dog from licking and digesting it. maybe one of those crazy saucer collors.

Use Dawn dishwashing liquid, that will cut the grease so you can get it out and rinse it off.

First shampoo: Dawn dish soap.
Second shampoo: A really good dog shampoo.

Yep...wildlife rehab specialist always use dawn to remove that stuff. I don't know if that foaming dawn would work better????? Might be worth a shot. Just make sure you don't get any of that stuff (reg. or foaming) in his eyes of course (sure u already know that lol).

i am a dog groomer, go to petco or a petsmart and look for degreaser shampoo and soak your dog about 15-20 minutes let the shampoo stand.

Baby Shampoo and a wash cloth will work good.
