The wipe most people reach for after a muddy walk is a baby wipe, and the trouble with baby wipes is fragrance. Scent is the commonest irritant on a dog's skin and the commonest reason a dog spends the next hour licking a wiped paw raw. These have no fragrance in them at all, and that single omission is the most useful thing about them.

The sheets themselves are plant-based cellulose rather than a plastic non-woven, so they are home-compostable once used, which is a genuine difference given how many wipes a muddy winter gets through. Each one carries chamomile, aloe vera, shea butter, cucumber and vitamin E, and none of it needs rinsing off, so a paw or a face can be dealt with at the door. At 20 x 20cm one sheet does a whole leg.

One data point we do not trust. We believe that field is a data-entry error rather than the truth, but we would rather tell you it is there than quietly delete it.

Who it's for: Dogs and cats with sensitive or reactive skin, Westies, Bulldogs, Shar-Peis, Boxers and Bengals among them, and anyone cleaning a pet daily who would rather not bin plastic each time.
