Manual Pet Paw Washer Cup with Removable Bristle Insert

Rain, then four muddy paws at the door, then the hall floor.

You already know how the next ten minutes go. He shakes on the mat, walks three steps, and the print of every pad is on the tiles before you have taken your coat off. The cup lives by the door for exactly that reason: fill it at the tap, hold it under one paw, twist a few times, lift it off.

Inside there is a soft TPR bristle mat rolled around the wall of the cup, spikes pointing in, so the paw is surrounded rather than scrubbed from one side. A white collar ring sits above it and the outer body is a plain plastic cylinder with a ribbed finish. Two styles are made, one with a white paw graphic printed on the side and one plain, in blue, orange or green, in three heights.

Key Benefits

• Bristles all the way round The mat lines the inside wall, so a twist of the cup works on every side of the paw at once instead of one face at a time.
• Comes apart in three pieces Outer body, collar ring, bristle mat. All three rinse under a tap, which is the difference between a paw washer you keep using and one that lives under the sink.
• Nothing to charge No motor, no battery, no cable. It works with water and your wrist, so it can sit by the door in a puddle of wet weather without a second thought.
• Three heights Small, medium and large, so the cup can suit a cat or a bigger dog rather than one size trying to do both.
• Two styles, three colours A printed paw graphic or a plain body, in blue, orange or green.

Best for: Households with a hallway that takes the brunt of every wet walk, and owners of a dog or cat who will stand still for one paw at a time but not for a bath.

Why It Works

The supplier overview calls this automatic. It is not. There is no motor and no battery anywhere in it: the twisting is done by your hand, and that is worth knowing before you buy. What is real is the TPR bristle mat, the three piece build and the three heights. What the maker never publishes is a single dimension in centimetres, so the size letters are relative to each other and nothing else, and we are not going to invent numbers for them.

How It Fits Your Routine

It stands by the door with an inch of water already in it on rainy days. He comes in, one paw at a time, twist, next, and the towel is only there for the drying rather than the scrubbing.

After the last paw the water goes down the drain, the mat comes out and the whole thing sits upside down on the draining board. Two minutes.

Every so often the bristle mat wants a proper wash with warm water, since fine grit collects at the base of the spikes where you cannot see it from the top.

FAQ

Is it automatic or motorised? No. The supplier overview says automatic, and it is wrong. This cup has no motor, no battery and no cable. You turn it by hand.

How big are the small, medium and large? The maker publishes no measurements at all, in centimetres or otherwise. The three sizes are only relative to each other, so pick by how large your animal's paw is against the photos.

What is the difference between cartoon and basic? The graphic on the outside. The cartoon style carries a white paw print on the body, the basic style is plain. The cup, the ring and the bristle mat are the same.

Does it need soap or a special liquid? Nothing is supplied and nothing is specified. The packing list is one paw washer, so start with plain water and decide for yourself, checking with your vet before putting any product on paws.
