Yes you can get urushiol on you from a pets fur. The oil will wash out
of the fur with water. Figuring out if he has rubbed against the plant
is the hard part! I generally just get the dog to go for a swim if I
suspect this. We have had good results with this approach here and I
have acres of poison ivy vines for him to find :)
The only preventive measure that I know of is what I do... find the plants
and spray them with round-up. I do this in areas
that my dog likes to play in. We still are at risk because the
fields him and I walk are just
covered with the plants. What are others doing?
