ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a low cost paw cleaning device, which is capable of effectively washing an animal's paws, to prevent the tracking of dirt and mud through one's home. The device includes a basin, formed of plastic or rubber, for retaining a support layer and cleaning fluid. A permeable absorbent cover retained by the rim of the basin adjoins an upper portion of the support layer. As an animal walks across the device, the animal's paws contact the cover and compress or displace the support layer, thereby causing the cover and the support layer to conform with the crevices and contours of the animal's paws and locally moisten the animal's paws to remove dirt and debris therefrom.
