For context, there are two stray dogs at our local city park that we can't outright adopt, apartment rules say no pets, but we've been doing our best within our means to care for them at the park in the meantime.

Cut it out of the fur, it's too difficult to get that much cooking oil out of the coat, even with a good dog shampoo. Source: my double coated dog likes to eat used frying oil.

The older of the two wasn't too terribly dirty, and he's been shedding, so he's basically let me just pluck most of the sappy fur off of him, and he loves water and brushies, so he might get a proper shampoo bath soon.

The younger one is a bit more skiddish when it comes to trying to clean him up though. He's friendly and all, but to try to even brush him, he'll run away after like 10 seconds or so.

That's great! I'm glad, I make my dog endure baths by putting chunks of a high value treat, like cheese, in the tub. It sinks a bit, he approaches the tub to check it out, into the water he goes, he gets soggy cheese continuously while I scrub him. Win/win.

put peanut butter on the wall for him to lick while standing in the tub!
