The Paw Plunger is a handheld cup with soft internal bristles that cleans a dog's paw with plain water and no soap. You fill it to the line, dip one paw at a time, twist a few times, and the bristles scrub mud, sand, road salt, and pollen out from between the pads. The flexible rubber top seals around the leg so water stays inside instead of on your entryway floor. It comes in petite, medium, and large; the medium fits most dogs in the 20 to 60 pound range. Best fit: rainy-climate households, beach and trail walkers, dogs with light-colored carpet at home, and anyone tired of chasing paw prints down a hallway with a towel.

- Small enough to leave by the back door without it looking like clutter
Cons
- You have to lift and dip each paw individually, which a squirmy or large dog will resist at first
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to use soap or a special solution?
No. It is designed for plain water only. The bristles do the scrubbing, and skipping soap means there is no residue left on paws your dog is going to lick later.
Which size should I get for my dog?
Sizing goes by paw, not by breed. Petite suits toy breeds and cats, medium covers most dogs roughly 20 to 60 pounds, and large is for big breeds. If your dog is between sizes, go up so the paw is not forced.
Does the water leak out when you lift the paw?
The flexible rubber top grips the leg and wipes it as you pull out, so most of the water stays in the cup. Some drips are normal, so keep it on a mat.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
Hand washing is the safer bet. The bristle insert lifts out, so you can rinse it and let both parts air dry.
