Our lawn is covered in burdocks and every time my Goos walks outside he inevitably gets 5-10 stuck in his paws and all over his body. I find that if you work on them with a slicker brush they eventually brush out.

Cowboy Magic! It's a detangler for horses manes and tails. It'll make their hair greasy so they need a bath afterwards, but they come out very easily! Gabby got into a pile of them (we call them sticktites in the South), and I rubbed the Cowboy Magic in the mats and they combed right out!

I've been taking Coat Kings to ours to break those spots up and then hitting those areas with a slicker brush. They are coming out fairly quickly.

cutting then out......Does anyone have any great solutions for getting thing out or there hair.....Poor Ezee had a clump in her chest hair the size of a walnut, with these prickely thing all tangled up........
A trick another schnauzer owner told me about that I've tried with success when camping (This girl is definitely a burr magnet!!!) I spray a little "Pam" on it, and use a greyhound comb to comb it out. My girl hates the the slicker brush...I sometimes wonder if I am using it correctly...but she tolerates the comb and Coat King well.

What is coat kings and where do i find it.....i tried mane and tail and that just seemed to give me a bigger mess....i think that getting them wet made it worse....i tried the slicker brush but no help....the stickaburs, or sticktities as gabbysmom calls them are so bad, its the harder burs that come off this big weedy thing with cute purple flowers that create my hell..put i will definatly try the suggestions..thanks

You can find some photos of Coat Kings near the bottom of my rolling coat page: http://members.aol.com/msbritmor/rolling.html These are often sold by vendors at dog shows, they are available online, and I have a good pet supply store about a half hour from me that carries them.
We have two kinds of burrs here.... sandburrs, which are away from the house and out more toward our fields, and something which I call cockleburrs (not sure what it actually is), but this is throughout the dogyard. The cockleburrs are not hard burrs like the sandburrs, but they are huge and made up of hundreds of little long spikes with a hook on one end that break up somewhat easily but cling like a son-of-a-gun. Not too difficult to remove if addressed fairly quickly, but become a tangled mess if left for any length of time.
Since we started pulling out the sandburr plants by hand late this summer, I can now identify them easily, even though they look exactly like scrub grass. I have yet to figure out what the actual cockleburr plant looks like. Our woods in the dogyard is so overgrown with brush now that it is impossible to walk through most of it.

We have "beggars lice" where we live and they are the dickens to remove. I've found that Cowboy Magic and a slicker do the trick fairly well.

Yep, last week Tom took Ripley for a walk and let him sidle up to something or other, and when they got home guess who had to clean him up? I dont know what these things are called, not sburrs which I would characterize as small tan round prickly things, but flat, dark brown seed-like things that stick in the hair. They are small, perhaps 1/8 " or less long.
Are these what one would call a cockleburr or beggars lice??

While not a burr per se, the dogs here collects seeds in legs and beards in late summer that are flat, oblong, black, with two points on one end. If they have one, they will have DOZENS of these nasty little things entangled in their hair. I believe they come from the pineapple weed, which one woman apparently thinks makes great tea! http://www.contentmart.com/ContentMart/content.asp?LinkID=20282&CatID=328&content=1
I just might have to try this one in order to cut down on those seeds late in the season<G>
By the way, Skip's ragweed allergies were the BEST EVER this year! (as in NOT). I went through the dogyard a few times before the poison ivy and brush got too tall and pulled every damn ragweed plant I could find. Between that and most of the dogs being totally sheared, there was little pollen for them to drag inside.

RE:coat full of burrs
(Date Posted:10/15/2008 6:51 PM)
The seeds that are green or dark brown are called beggar's lice. My little maltipoo helps me work on her. When she pulls them out w/her mouth, she is now eating them. I read on one website where they were toxic. In researching, I found this website, but no mention of this. Does anyone know if these seeds are indeed poisonous for our little babies?
