A muddy walk does not always call for a full bath. Grooming wipes help you remove everyday dirt from your dog's paws and coat before they come back inside.
Here are nine things to know about dog wipes:
1. What Are Dog Grooming Wipes For?
Dog wipes are wipes designed for everyday cleanup before your dog’s next bath.
Check the pack for the intended use and full ingredient list. Different wipes have different purposes, so choose one labelled for the area you want to clean.
Follow the directions on the pack. A grooming wipe is for external cleanup; it should not be used to treat a skin condition.
2. Using Dog Wipes at Home
Keep a pack near the door for dirty paws after walks. For a small patch of dirt, you can wipe the area that needs cleaning.
Use a fresh wipe as needed, then put used wipes in the trash. Do not flush them.
3. Take a Pack on the Move
A smaller pack is handy when you are away from home and need to clean a muddy paw or a patch of coat.
Choose a resealable pack that fits in your walking bag or car kit. Close it firmly after use.
Check paws for visible dirt before getting back into the car. Use grooming wipes according to their directions.
Store the remaining wipes as directed. Pogi's wipes should be stored at room temperature.
4. Check Suitability for Your Dog
If your dog has a known allergy or skin condition, ask your vet which cleaning product is appropriate.
Check the ingredients and use directions rather than treating a grooming wipe as an allergy treatment. Stop using it if irritation occurs.

5. Keep Grooming and Treatment Separate
Choose a grooming wipe for everyday dirt. Use a medicated product only as directed by its label or your vet.
If you notice a wound, persistent odor or a skin problem, ask your vet about the cause and suitable care.
6. Read the Ingredient List
Compare the full ingredient list, including any added fragrance. If your dog has reacted to an ingredient before, discuss alternatives with your vet.
A claim on the front of the pack does not replace the ingredients or directions. Read both before choosing a wipe.
7. Choose Your Scent
Pogi's wipes come in Fragrance-Free and Green Tea Scent. Choose Fragrance-Free if you prefer no added fragrance.
The scent and pack format are separate choices. Check both selections on the product page before adding to your cart.
8. Proper Use of Dog Wipes
Pogi's grooming wipes are for external use. Avoid contact with eyes, stop if irritation occurs and keep the pack away from children.
For eyes, ears, teeth or a skin condition, choose care intended for that specific purpose and follow your vet's advice.
9. Keeping Your Pet Clean and Fresh
Keep a pack where small messes happen: by the door, beside your dog's usual spot or in your travel kit. Reseal it after every use.
Choose the Pack That Fits Your Routine
Compare total wipe count and cost per wipe. Pogi's tubs come in 100- and 400-wipe options, while travel multipacks contain 120 or 240 wipes in smaller 20-wipe packs.
You can compare current options for Pogi’s grooming wipes on our product page, or read The Spruce Pets’ dog-wipe guide for its comparison of products.
Keeping them fresh between baths
For everyday dirt between baths, Pogi’s Dog Grooming Wipes come in Fragrance-Free and Green Tea Scent, on an 8 by 9 inch bamboo-fiber cloth. Use externally on paws and coat, avoid eyes, and stop if irritation occurs.
