what do you lads use for cleaning your dogs feet after a nights lamping or days retrieving, just water or do you put anything in the water ?

I usualy wash them in warm, salty water, then sometimes a soak in warm water and dettol solution.

Wash them everytime the dogs have been working, not everytime they have been out for a walk !LOL ! Use the dettol solution if there is cuts or scrapes or signs of soreness around the nails.
