Help!!!

How do u keep your lovely homes clean from all the mud when letting your dogs out??

Apart from following them round and washing there feet every 90 mins or so when let out into the garden...how does your house survive the mud fest?

Our dog refuses to go out In inclemental weather and avoids mud and puddles

You're very lucky Random is that a smug grin? :)

My dog likes to sit in the garden in inclement weather. She doesn't like to walk in the rain but is happy to sit/lie on the muddy grass in the garden when it's raining. She also likes to sit in the open back doorway of an evening, especially when it's nice and cold out.

It is indeed very smug, she is very easy and a good fit for us "walk mummy, walk nooooooooo let's have a cuddle instead" we literally force her outside for a wee and she chooses to stay on the concrete rather than the lawn/mud bath!

Eric is filthy constantly because the more wet and muddy it is the more he likes it. We have Karndean on most of the downstairs and the mats above and he's not allowed off his lead onto the lounge carpet and sofas until he's been washed and dried. Fortunately he only goes out on his walks, never bothers with the garden so at least it's more manageable to do three clean ups a day than it would be if he was in and out the garden all day. I'm sick of the wet and the mud this year I think it has been the worst one since we had Eric tbh.

I'm actually using puppy pads as back door mats. Each dog has to lie down on one whilst I clean paws with a towel. It's more effective than the superabsorbant door mat was.

I've also trimmed the cockers paws and feathers very short. I'd say that reduced 90% of the dry mud dust that was appearing by the dog beds.

My ‘lovely’ house is covered in mud. Have 2 big Hug mats in the hall, a towel hanging up by the door to wipe paws, hosepipe outside and oh yes, my garden is 90% paved. There is still mud EVERYWHERE. And my car... It’s just hideous. I also have a horse, which really doesn’t help (he doesn’t live in the house, but from the state of it you might think he did )
