Try putting some mayonnaise or coconut oil into the fur; the oils will soften the stickiness of the marshmallow. Then use a fine tooth comb to get it out. It may be tedious but it should work. Using coconut oil or mayo won’t leave any toxic residue on the fur. Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
