How do you get dirt out of the dog's feet?

Question

My friend's dog stepped in some poo. Now it's stuck in between the pad of it's foot. How do I get it out quickly and without hurting the dog more. A tooth pic or stick? Do I wet it first?

Answer 1

warm soapy water in a bucket or pan...soak foot for a bit and rinse. If your dog is squirmy move his paw back and forth in the water and it should clean it up. good luck!

Answer 2

Wash it off the best you can then take something small and wipe it out. unless the dog is already injured or cut than it won't hurt it. It may just not like its feet bein messed wit.

Answer 3

A warm wash cloth and either dog shampoo pr baby shampoo. Why could you use a stick??? Hmm maybe go to a groomer if you cant figure it out yourself

Wet the paws and soap them up really good using your hands and get between the toes. You can wash your hands with anti-bacterial soap afterwards.
