Quick FAQs

Can I hose or bathe with the tape on?

Keep the coat dry for best adhesion. If saturated, pat dry and replace if edges lift.

How do I remove it?

Peel slowly in the direction of hair growth while supporting skin with your free hand. A small amount of coat-safe detangler can help.

Can I combine with Draw It Out® liniments?

Yes—separate the steps. Tape goes on clean, dry, oil-free hair/skin. Use liniments at different times so adhesion stays reliable.


General guidance only—always follow your veterinarian or qualified therapist’s instructions. Remove if irritation occurs. For external use on healthy hair/skin only.
