Hi all
I’ve got a 14 week old lab who LOVES mud, water and general filth and unfortunately for me (but brilliant for him) there is LOTS of it about at the moment. My back garden is a quagmire and even if I stuck to walking him on pavements there is still a lot of wet leaves and muck about the place that he manages to get covered in.
Dogs get lucky and wet. I accept that. How best can I prevent my house and car from becoming filthy mudholes during these boggy wet months, until spring shows it’s face? Currently I’m wiping his feet/legs/belly with a towel when he gets in but it isn’t very useful and he seems to still be filthy.
I thought about a putting the hose on low and giving him a quick wash off when we got in but he’s scared of it, plus I think it’s a bit chilly. Though he happily wades into muddy streams and deep puddles without a backward glance, so perhaps it isn’t the temp.
How does everyone else manage the relentless mud during wet winters?
