Why We Created the Mud Daddy Antibacterial Pre-Wash
Alabama Rot
The map above is showing the Alabama rot cases in the United Kingdom, sometimes referred to as Cutaneous and Renal Glomerular Vasculopathy (CRGV). In addition to causing obvious skin sores, it affects the blood vessels in the kidneys and skin, which can result in serious organ dysfunction and eventually kidney failure.

While its exact cause remains unknown, it was believed to be linked to muddy and woodland areas. One of the most widely recommended prevention tips is simple: clean your dog’s legs and paws after every walk.
We know that not every muddy outing leads to something serious, but it never hurts to build good habits, especially ones that take just a few seconds. That’s where the Mud Daddy Antibacterial Pre-Wash Spray comes in.
Muddy water doesn’t just carry visible dirt... it can contain bacteria, yeast, and other irritants that linger on your dog’s skin and paws. And if your dog has any small cuts or sensitivities, that buildup can cause further irritation or even infection.
Using a dedicated antibacterial pre-wash spray helps reduce that risk, especially when paired with a proper rinse. It’s not about turning every walk into a full grooming session, it’s about quick and easy care that supports your dog’s health over time.
When to Use It?
The Antibacterial Pre-Wash Spray is made for real life muddy trails, wet fields, and puddle-filled parks. Use it:
-
After walks in muddy or woodland areas
-
During wet, cold months which are high-risk season
-
On days with heavy rain or flooding
-
As a quick clean-up when you don’t have full water access yet
-
Before using your Mud Daddy to rinse for a deeper clean
-
Before letting your dog indoors as contaminants might settle in dog’s coat or carpet
It’s safe to use every day and works well as part of a post-walk routine. The Pre-Wash formula is designed to be both powerful and gentle. Key ingredients include:
-
Chlorhexidine Gluconate, a trusted antiseptic used in veterinary care
-
Lavender Oil, naturally soothing with a calming scent
-
Glycerine, helps hydrate and protect the skin
These ingredients work together to reduce bacteria while soothing the skin, especially useful for dogs prone to itching or irritation.
How to Use It
Spray directly onto your dog’s paws, legs, belly, or coat after walks or play and then rinse with your Mud Daddy using warm or cold water. Always avoid the eyes and ears. If your pet shows signs of irritation, discontinue use and check with your vet.
Final Thought
You can’t control the weather, the trails, or your dog’s love for puddles. But you can take simple steps to care for their skin and coat. The Mud Daddy Antibacterial Pre-Wash Spray is designed for the in-between moments where a quick clean makes all the difference. It’s one small step for cleaner paws, and one gentle habit for healthier days.
