Electric Paw Cleaner

A cup of soft silicone bristles that turns, so you are not scrubbing a paw at the door.

The mud is never on the top of the foot. It is between the pads and up between the toes, which is exactly where a towel does not go and where a dog least wants your fingers.

Fill the cup with water, switch it on, lower the paw in. Soft silicone bristles rotate around the whole foot at once. Lift out, dry off, done — and the water and the dirt stay in the cup rather than on the hallway floor.

Before you order, measure

The opening takes paws up to about two inches across. That covers most medium and large dogs. Hold a ruler across your dog's paw with the toes spread and check before buying — this is the one thing people get wrong about it.

Using it

One button. USB-C rechargeable, so it runs cordless by the door or in the boot of the car. Guide the paw in slowly rather than pushing it, and stop if your dog is uncomfortable — the point is that this is easier than a towel, not that it is something to be endured.

The silicone liner lifts out for rinsing. Let every part dry completely before reassembling.

What it will not do

It will not replace a bath, and it will not shift dried-on mud without water. The cup holder itself is not waterproof — rinse the liner, not the body.

Sized for medium and large dogs. Soft enough for daily use on a dog that will not tolerate a towel.
