What our customers wish they'd known about summer dog walks

Some dogs are just built to find mud. Here is our ranking of the worst offenders, plus how to manage each.

1. Labrador Retriever

Bred to retrieve from water. Will find the muddiest puddle within 100 feet.

2. Golden Retriever

Same instincts. Plus long fur that traps mud for hours.

3. Australian Shepherd

High energy + double coat. Mud goes deep into the undercoat.

4. Bernese Mountain Dog

Massive paws. Massive amount of mud per paw print.

5. English Sheepdog

Long coat that mops up mud like a Swiffer.

6. Border Collie

Will literally chase mud if it moves.

7. Newfoundland

Loves water. Brings half a lake home with them.

If your dog is on this list: get a paw cleaner. Don't mop your floors twice a day.
