Your dog comes in from a wet walk and heads straight for the rug. This gets a paw clean in about five seconds: add a splash of water, dip the paw in, twist, dab dry. Then three more feet.
Soft silicone bristles reach through the fur and around the pads, where the mud actually sits. Gentler than a wipe, and a lot quicker than holding a squirming dog at the kitchen sink.
The inner sleeve pulls out, so you can tip the dirty water away and rinse both halves properly instead of scrubbing at a seam you can't reach.
Which size: the small one fits toy and small breeds — terriers, dachshunds, that sort of thing. The large covers most medium and big dogs. If yours falls between the two, go large: a roomy cup still cleans well, whereas a tight one is a fight to get the paw into.
Mud is not the only thing that comes in on paws in winter. Road salt and grit lodge between the pads, and a dog that licks at its feet after a walk is often reacting to what is stuck in there rather than to the walk itself.
How this helps
Silicone bristles reach between the pads and into the fur around them, where a towel only skims the surface. Five seconds a foot at the door supports clean floors and comfortable feet, and it is a habit most dogs accept within a few goes.
