Dexas MudBuster Portable Dog Paw Cleaner, Large, Blue (PW720312)

Product Information

Dog Paw Cleaner Large Composition - Each dog paw cleaner for dogs large is made from a durable, hardwearing plastic cup, with a soft silicone brush lining the interior. The brush will deep clean paws and the lower leg area, thus removing mud, germs and road and turf chemicals. We also include one ultra-absorbent microfibre mitt for drying dog and puppy feet after each and every paw wash

It actually was pretty challenging to get her feet rinsed every single time we came inside because I didn’t want to just toss the concoction I was making for her little foot rinse/soak every time we used it, but the tub of water I was using was getting pretty gross after the repeat uses.

Paw Washer Cups: One popular type of paw washer is a cup with bristles inside. You just fill it with water and put your dog’s paw inside to clean. The bristles remove dirt and debris and keep it inside the cup. Dog paw cleaners are great for at home, the dog park, the beach and all your pet's adventures. But it is not just about mud and dirt. MudBuster can also help remove irritants and allergens from your dog's feet, say after a winter or summer walk with snow, ice, salt grit or grass pollen.

Whichever method you choose, take your time and be gentle with your pup. “Dogs don’t enter this world familiar and comfortable with handling and grooming procedures, so it’s important that we teach them that having their paws handled is safe for them,” explains Charbonneau. On one rainy day this last week, I got the Mudbuster ready for Eira. I’d put her out to go potty a few minutes earlier, and she was ready to get out of the rain and come inside. I had just swept and lightly mopped my floors. Dog Paw Cleaning Solutions: There are also cleansers specific for dog paws available. Many come with brushes on the bottle to help you scrub your dog’s paws. These may be a better fit for dogs who won’t tolerate putting their paws in a washing cup. If you have a small dog, you can get a small or medium Dexas Mudbuster, depending on the length of your dog’s legs. The small Mudbuster is 4.3 inches tall and 3.65 inches wide — for up to a 2-inch paw; the medium is 6 inches tall and 4 inches wide, for up to a 2.5-inch paw; and the large is 8.85 inches tall and 4.75 inches wide, for up to a 3.5-inch paw (which is a huge paw). If your dogs are anything like mine, they hate having their paws touched. When my German shepherd Silas comes in from playing in our perpetually muddy yard, he becomes very anxious and hangs his head low as I clean off his muddy paws.I don’t know about you- but I have 3 Great Danes (and one little who seems to like tagging along). Incase you’re as bad at math as I am- that is 16 dog paws. It’s nearly impossible to keep my dog’s paws clean. When you are ready to clean your dog, go ahead and fill the Dexas Mudbuster Portable dog paw washer with some warm water. However, I think that medium sized dogs would be able to use both the medium size paw washer as well as the large, but it would depend on your dog’s paw size on whether they would work better with the medium or large mudbuster.

I saw the carpet and we argued a bit but he swore he cleaned his paws. 🤨 Listen--when I say the MudBuster gets all the dirt, I mean it. So, I thought he was lying 😆 & I became a detective and discovered the MudBuster was bone dry. I then said there was no way he used it because it was dry... That's how we discovered that I was wrong. He did use it. Just without water. Smh Later on in the spring when it got even muddier, I tried using a dish of water to clean Eira’s paw out. For some reason, she absolutely hated that. She’d inevitably splash water everywhere and flip the dish over, spilling water all over my feet and splattering mud all over the porch and door. Nightmare! I was relieved when things started drying out in Alaska. I had all 16 paws cleaned within just 10 minutes, which may not seem fast to you- but to me: ten minutes = fast and easy cleaning for 4 dirty dogs and their paws. NEXT STEP: CLEANING THE MUDBUSTER DOG PAW CLEANER Once you are sure that the paws touched the external silicone brush enough to result in some clean paws, remove the dog paw and have a look at your results. WHAT I NOTICED RIGHT OFF THE BAT Well, when my Great Dane, Birdie, was having a few issues with her paws irritating her last summer I set out on the mission to do so.The silicone brushes on the inside of the Dexas Mudbuster Portable dog paw washer actually DID make a dent on the cleanliness of my dog and it’s paw. Recently, my husband said, “I really like that paw cleaner you got Eira.” Out of the blue. Last spring, I asked him all the time to please use a towel to clean off Eira’s paws, but the process was so daunting he only managed to do it half the time, resulting in lots of cleaning up of mud and dirt. But he loves the Dexas Mudbuster. And actually uses it! It’s so easy to use that there’s really no excuse not to. What if, you might be wondering, the mudbuster gets really dirty and gross? You can always rinse it out with water to get mud and dirt out. All you need to do is unscrew the lid, unroll the bristle mat, and rinse. In fact, I recommend doing this after each time you use it to clean your dog’s paws off. That way you won’t be storing mud inside a paw-cleaner. Once it’s been a week or two or even a few days of extra-heavy use, you can just rinse the Mudbuster out and pop it in the dishwasher for a deep clean. It’s BPA free and completely dishwasher safe! Because it only comes in one size, this dog paw cleaner is best suited for medium and large dogs whose paws measure 2 to 3 inches. You’ll also need to take some time to get your pup acclimated to the device since the noise and motion could scare them if it’s not introduced correctly. Cleaning paws from heavy debris, such as mud, is certainly beneficial for us and the cleanliness of our homes,” says Vanessa Charbonneau, a force-free dog trainer and owner of Sit Pretty Behavior & Training.

The exact process of washing your dog’s paws will depend on the tool you’re using. Since dog paw washing cups, whether automatic or manual, require you to place your pet’s paw into the actual cup itself, wipes or cleansers can be easier to use if your dog isn’t fond of that action. Something to towel dry your dog after (depending on where you buy your paw cleaner- some of them come with a little towel to wipe dry your dog after you clean their paw) Doesn’t actually remove dirt or debris, so you may want to use this alongside another dog paw cleaner or washer

The bottom line

On the other end of the spectrum is cleaning your dog’s paws at home when they’re not so comfortable with the process. In cases like this, something as simple as an absorbent mat can do some of the dirty work for you and reduce the amount of paw handling. A sanitizer like this can be drying if applied too often, so save it for situations when your dog truly needs it Once we found some dirt, I let my dogs do what they do best. They played, they ran, they dug and they got those paws dirty. What are the Best Floors for Dogs?
