Will it fit your dog?
The honest answer: it depends on the paw, not the breed.
The opening is [OPENING_CM] across and it suits paws up to [MAX_PAW_CM] wide. Spread your dog's pads and measure across the widest point — that is the number that matters.
Usually a good fit: Cavalier King Charles, French Bulldog, Pug, Dachshund, Jack Russell, Shih Tzu, Bichon, Westie, Border Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer, Beagle, Whippet, Mini Cockapoo
Usually too big: German Shepherd, Husky, Boxer, Rottweiler, Standard Poodle, Bernese, Newfoundland
Borderline — measure first: Labrador, Golden Retriever,Cocker Spaniel, Springer Spaniel, Border Collie, Staffie, larger Cockapoos

Questions people actually ask
My dog is a large breed — will it work?
No, and we would rather say so now than take your money and disappoint you. This is built for small and medium paws, up to 1.6–3.9inches across. If your dog's paws are wider than that, the cup will not close around them properly. Check the sizing guide above, or message us with the breed and we will tell you honestly.
Is it noisy? Will it scare my dog?
There is a soft motor hum while the bristles turn, about the level of an electric toothbrush. Most dogs settle after two or three uses, especially if you let them sniff it running before it goes anywhere near a paw. If yours genuinely will not tolerate it, send it back within 14 days.
Does my dog have to like having wet paws?
It works with just a splash of water — you are not dunking the paw in a bath. For water-shy dogs, run it nearly dry for the first few goes and build up from there.
How much water do I use?
Fill to roughly the top — enough to wet the bristles, not enough to slosh. Plain water is fine for everyday mud. A drop of dog shampoo for the really grim days.
Does it get the mud out from between the pads?
That is what the second speed is for. The reverse rotation works the bristles into the gaps between the pads, which is exactly where grit and winter road salt collect.
How long does the battery last?
Lasts up to 10 days from a full charge. It takes about 2 hours to charge via USB. , plug not included.
How do I clean the cleaner?
Three steps. Lift the lid off, take out the silicone bristle pad, rinse both under the tap. Air dry — do not put it in the dishwasher.
How big is it?
About 10cm across and 18cm tall — roughly the size of a large travel mug — and it weighs around 450g. Small enough to live by the back door or in the car boot.
