Mud, slush and road salt all come home on paws. A quick cleanup at the door protects your floors — and in winter, rinsing off de-icing salt is kinder to paw pads too.
Two main approaches
- Cup-style washers: add water, insert the paw, twist gently, towel dry. Best for real mud.
- No-rinse foam: a few pumps and a wipe. Best for light dirt and city walks.
Sizing
Cup cleaners come in sizes; check the manufacturer's paw-width guide on the listing before ordering.
