Product Information

The most important way I’ve kept my house clean with multiple dogs is by cleaning my dog’s paws after each walk.

If you’ll be cleaning your pet’s paws on the go – like before they get into the car after a hike, for example – look for portable cleaners. This might be wipes or sprays, or if your pet allows, a more thorough tool like a dog paw cleaner cup. Doesn’t actually remove dirt or debris, so you may want to use this alongside another dog paw cleaner or washer Once you’ve taken your time to spread the toes out and inspect for lumps or cuts, it’s drying time. Keep a drying towel on hand, as you’d hate to deal with wet paw prints if your dog escapes from the tub. Be thorough with the drying because bacteria and yeast love moisture and happily infest damp paws. Nail clipping Unless the weather is pleasant, dry, and warm, it’s a good idea to at least do a basic cleaning of your dog’s paws. It only takes a couple of minutes, and it’s a great way to ensure your dog stays healthy and comfortable. Can I wash my dog’s paws every day?If you really want to prevent any debris from entering your house, keep a good towel and the right cleaning solutions by your door, or consider setting up a cleaning station outside. Fill your litter tray to a depth of 6-7.5cm.Remove clumps and soiled litter daily using a cat litter scoop.Always top up litter tray to the original level.The tray should be completely emptied regularly, washed with warm water and a mild solution of household disinfectant. Dogs only produce sweat around the areas that are not covered with fur which are the nose and paw pads. A sanitizer like this can be drying if applied too often, so save it for situations when your dog truly needs it Dogs love to play in the dirt and mud – it’s natural. As a dog owner, I enjoy letting my pups do what they do best while outdoors. Unfortunately, that means frequently cleaning doggy paws after digging holes or even just from a few minutes outside to go to the bathroom after heavy rain. In the spring time when the snow is melting and the ground is soggy, this becomes a recipe for a filthy disaster.

Cleaning and maintaining the paw pads is remarkably easy and beneficial. Dog wet wipes, full paw washes, regular nail trims, dog boots, and home remedies like apple cider vinegar keep the paws clean. You may do everything right, but encounter recurrent paw problems, possibly due to a skin condition. If there's an injury, you'll want to clean the wound. Rinse it with warm water to rid it of any debris, then pat it dry with a clean towel or fresh paper towel. Whether the pad is punctured or torn, the VCA Animal Hospitals suggests using mild anti-bacterial soap or betadine to disinfect the wound, and if there's bleeding you can control it by putting pressure to the wound with a clean towel.This has no effect on your dog, other than keeping them safe from infections. 6. Reward your dog with a treat If you don’t know how to trim your dog’s nails, you can also ask your veterinarian for a demonstration. You can use a nail trimmer, a heavy-duty nail file, or a specialized nail grinder to help keep their nails at the appropriate length. The disadvantage of this route is that you’ll be going through a lot of rags if you choose to do this frequently. 3- DOG CLEANING WIPES Tamsin de la Harpe has nearly two decades of experience with dogs in rescue, training, and behavior modification with fearful and aggressive dogs.
