Some types of paint can be toxic to dogs, so I recommend you try to wash the paint off with mild liquid dish soap or shampoo for dogs, and if that doesn't work, carefully trim off the paint-covered fur, taking care not to cut the skin. I do not recommend you use any paint thinner/ remover on Junior Taz, as some of those are toxic as well. I recommend you contact the pet poison helpline at the following link for more information: https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com
