Paw PlungerLarge Black Paw Protector/cleaner for pets. The best way to clean the paws of your dog

Having read in some reviews that the fins at the top of the plunger are rather rigid, I did try shoving two fingers in and sure enough it was uncomfortable withdrawing them. The only way it was anywhere near comfy was by inserting my thumb alone, somewhat like Little Jack Horner.Still, I was willing to give Paw Plunger the benefit of the doubt and came the mucky weather, I'd prepared by getting a little suit for my Cavachon to limit how mucky she might get.I pushed a paw in but found I could neither move the plunger up and down, nor use a dipping action with the paw as the plastic fins were just too firm.Maybe with a sturdier dog this is easier but it felt like her leg was stuck and both the dog and I began to panic.I did manage to release the paw but decided we can't go through that worry each time so i sharpened a knife and have cut the plastic fin thing off entirely.I realise it was to help in squeezing surplus water from the paw and to prevent spillage, used with the lid, in transport.The brushes clean gently. I bought some inexpensive flannels to use for paw drying and I shall be happier just plunging and hand squeezing off the excess water then using the flannel for drying.Good idea but my dog's paws/legs arent perfectly rounded.I think the design should be reconsidered to use a soft rubber or silicone. The current one is far too stiff.In the circumstances I'm not best happy at how much this cost, either!After some pretty wet weather and hence muddy conditions I am using the Paw Plunger on a daily basis. I do not regret cutting off the fins and am just gently squeezing excess water from Tilly's paws.On a daily basis I just fill and empty from the top. I do unscrew the top occasionally to give the brushes and interior a good clean. Mud lurks down there. I would advise rubbing some petroleum jelly on the scew top though to prevent cross threading and make the inner easier to screw out.I do really like the concept just not, wholly, the execution.

I wasn't sure whether this would be any good but decided to give it a try. Our Cockapoo wasn't too sure of it but he does let us use it. With hindsight I wonder if the small size would have been better (we opted for medium) as his paws are kind seem swamped in it. All in all it does work, it cleans paws with less mess and it does come apart (with a bit of force) so it can be properly emptied.

Brilliant love this works a treat on my sandy muddy puppy paws ! very large puppy I might add at 20 weeks and long curly fur . The lid is a bonus and stays attached by the link chain to plunger and handle helps support and steady when gripping plunger if need be. ...I have put my had in and checked brushes and to make sure paw hand is not caught on anything inside and found it to to be all soft bristle brushes ( minuscule version of car wash brushes ) very good product

Does an amazing job with our Great Dane and rottie paws. BUT: remove the inner petals, they caused a laceration to one of their lower legs when removing the plunger from the paw. Only reason it's not got 5 stars.

My dog will surrender her front paws without a problem, maybe because her forelegs are straight. No matter how I try I’ve yet to do both hind legs. She needs to be stood but insists on trying to sit. The plunger is almost impossible to use horizontally and the ‘elbow or knee joint causes the dogs leg to go horizontal.As I said it’s great in theory but I’m back to the hosepipe

Such a great idea for muddy paws if you don’t want to go for the full blown bath, especially in the wet winter months. Can even take it in the car to save that getting covered in mud. The top can be a bit tight for paws but these can be flexed in.

I find this great for the dog but like other buyers I found the inner plastic not too brilliant, a bit of a panic when my dogs paw didn't come out of the cup very easily hence I have also cut that out so its just the brushes that come in contact with her paw, operates really well that way.

I've lost count how many times I've been asked for link to the Paw Plunger.Bought specifically for use when touring with caravan.Ideal for dissenfecting paws after wood walks.Used it at home to get dogs used to it, less mess than sponge and bowl.Would reccomend the Paw Plunger.
