The system is an effective and hands-free way for the animal to clean and dry their paws so as not to track dirt, mud and other grime indoors and onto clean flooring. The system can include two parts—a sponge part for washing a pets paws, and a drying pad for drying the pets paws. A pet-friendly disinfectant can be included in the sponge portion to help disinfect the pets paws before they walk about the home.
