When someone asks me what is the worst thing about owning a dog I always reply instantly with the same answer……muddy paws!
It’s lovely to see a dog running free, jumping in puddles or even enjoying a quick dip in the lake.
However, we are soon brought back to Earth when it’s time to go back home.
An owner doesn’t want to take the enjoyment out of an exciting walk by stressing the dog out trying to clean muddy paws. If the dog has been walked on a beach, sand gets everywhere, and will quickly transfer to car seats and carpets.
It’s important, not to just keep our dogs clean and healthy, but also to keep our homes hygienic, clean and smelling fresh.
These Simple Dog Bathing Solutions Are Designed To Make Keeping Your Dog Clean, Much Easier.
These new collapsible dog baths are an absolute godsend if you have a dog who is also a mud magnet!
They can be easily slotted into a small space when not in use or placed in the car to take on holiday. You can add a little water to wash just the paws or fill to give your dog a really good wash.
I give my dogs a quick groom and nail trim with them standing in the bath (without water). They are less likely to run away and the fur and nail clippings are collected and easily removed.
Collapsible dog baths can be used inside or out. Some have plugs so that the water can be drained easily.
If you use the dog bath inside your own bath or shower tray there is no lifting required and your bathroom stays clean and hygienic.
I love a product that has multiple uses and this transforms into a cooling pool for the dog to use in the garden during hot summer days.
Also, it can be used to store dog toys when not in use.
The collapsible dog bath comes in different sizes to suit the size of your pet.
If you dog prefers a shower, there are portable showers available which save water and can be used anywhere.
Again, they are dual purpose because you can clean your own muddy boots too.
If your dog just needs a quick paw clean after a walk, these portable paw washers are a great addition.
There is a removable silicone brush inside the container which gently removes dirt from the paw when the container is filled with soapy water. A small drying cloth is also included.
Hopefully these simple solutions for dog bathing will ease the pain of muddy paws after dog walks and let your pet explore freely just how he/she desires.

Oh i like the collapsible bin one! We did had the mud busters at our store, but I didn’t tried them out.. sadly I have dachshunds.. so not on’y the paws get muddy but their bellies & brother’s back too!! 😂 (because the « flicks » off her paws get thrown onto his back.. 🤦🏽♀️) — hard to avoid baths with those ones.. although I do keep a pet specific cloth so I can wipe them atleast.
True siblings but so different; my girl LOVES the water & doesnt mind baths too much, as she can bring her beloved ball (she legit drop the ball inside & hop in herself!) but my male is even worst than a cat 😬 he does NOT appreciate at all.
I know exactly what you mean about dachshunds and muddy bellies!
Short leg problems 😄 ahah
