I am a clean freak that also has a 90lb 1.5 year old Golden Retriever who enjoys digging multiple holes in my yard, especially when the ground is wet. This thing is the best 29 bucks I’ve ever spent, because it helps me keep my sanity. I call my dog to the door and see his paws are black, tell him to stay, squirt a pump of soap and fill this thing with hot water, grab a towel, and go to town. I stick his paws in, dry them off with a towel, and boom! No muddy paw prints through my house. Finn doesn’t mind having his feet cleaned, Mom doesn’t go crazy, and Dad is happy that Mom isn’t pissed. Everybody wins.
