Medium Size Mismatches That Frustrate Owners
People often grab the medium thinking it'll work for any "average" dog, but it flops if your pup has narrow, whippet-like paws - the **silicone bristles** just poke the pads instead of scrubbing between them. Too loose on tiny paws means water splashes everywhere and mud stays put. Bigger dogs with paws over 3.5" end up with legs jammed in awkwardly, turning cleaning into a wrestle neither of you enjoys.
Maximize Mud Removal on the Right Paws
Pick medium only after measuring your dog's widest paw pad - lay it flat on paper, trace, and check that 2.5-3.5" sweet spot. Fill it with lukewarm water right to the top for the 6" height to fully cover those medium paws; cold water makes dogs pull away fast. Twist gently at first to build trust, then scrub side-to-side while pushing up and down - takes 10-15 seconds per paw on a boxer or lab.

Change water after two paws to avoid smearing mud back on. For thick clay, follow with a quick rag dab since bristles shine on sandy soil or light mud but struggle with caked-on gunk. A pro tip: pair it with treats nearby so your dog offers paws willingly after a few tries, just like that sandbox-loving boxer pup who now sits pretty for it.
