ABSTRACT:
The nature of this invention is to develop a new way to clean dog's paws of any debris, such as mud, etc., which it may encounter. The present invention provides a safe, easy, efficient, innovative way to clean the paw. It will eliminate the use of several towels for this purpose and save the life of the owner's carpeting and floors. A main unit (28) will house a rechargeable battery (60); however an ac adapter (52) is also available. Two canisters (20, 24) will provide a container (20) for clean water and a container (24) for dirty, waste water. Each canister is easily removed for filling and cleaning, yet secured onto the main unit via the construction of the molding (90, 92, 94). The paw is placed into a pouch (70). The pouch (70) is secured by means of an elastic band (72). When a spray switch (46) is depressed, water is released through a hose (34) and onto the paw with sufficient pressure to remove debris from the paw. By depressing a suction switch (48), the debris and water are extracted from the pouch (70), through the hose (34), and into the canister (24) designated for this purpose. The paw is taken out of the pouch (70) and the paw is clean and virtually dry. A separate attachment (50) may be used to remove debris or excess water from the animal's body.
