Power-actuated paw cleaning device and associated method

A power-actuated animal paw cleaning system for assisting a caregiver to groom an animal paw, said power-actuated animal paw cleaning system comprising:

• a handle having an anchor rod statically coupled to a distal end thereof;
• a casing mated to said anchor rod such that said casing is freely pivotal thereabout while said handle and said anchor rod remain stationary;
• a splash guard indirectly coupled to said anchor rod and being adjoined to an interior surface of said casing respectively;
• and
• a paw cleaning mechanism attached to said casing and said handle respectively, said paw cleaning mechanism being provided with a brush head rotatably situated within said casing;
• wherein said splash guard is freely articulated along a first arcuate path as said brush head articulates along a second arcuate path.

A method of utilizing a power-actuated animal paw cleaning system for assisting a caregiver to groom an animal paw, said method comprising the chronological steps of:

• providing an elongated handle having an anchor rod statically coupled to a distal end thereof;
• providing and pivotally mating a casing to said anchor rod such that said casing is freely pivotal thereabout while said handle and said anchor rod remain stationary;
• providing and adjoining a splash guard to an interior surface of said casing by pivotally coupling said splash guard indirectly to said anchor rod;
• providing and attaching a paw cleaning mechanism to said casing and said handle respectively by providing and rotatably situating a brush head within said casing;
• independently articulating said splash guard along a first arcuate path while independently articulating said brush head along a second arcuate path;
• and
• independently adjusting a rotational displacement of said splash guard and a rotational velocity of said brush head during grooming procedures.
