Not a bad idea.

Shoot we do this all the time! After a walk we wipe Cooper's feet with baby wipes and the wipes usually turn black! Just shows what they can pick up - and I don't want it in my bed ! Just have to be careful you don't dry their paws out too much.

Phew! Glad I'm not the only weirdo!

Phaha defiantly not a weirdo! WE have this towel that always sits on the case of water right by the door to go inside. Every time Coco goes outside we wipe them off. Except on the driveway because it gets power washed and it's pretty clean. But when she goes in the yard, and out and about we wipe them down with a towel and if they are dirty we also use the Pet Head shampoo wipes

I think with these little animals you have to be very protective. I am concerned about my babies feet also, not because of what she walks in but because the pavement is getting so hot. I can only walk her in the early morning or later in the evening. I am thinking of getting her some sort of light weight bootie to wear that will protect her feet from the heat.

If Mina has only been in her own backyard then I dont was feet. But if we go anywhere,especially if there has been traveling in the trailer involved. Then her feet get washed. Puppies lick their feet so either I clean them or she is going to and I dont want her to pick something up on her feet and then ingest it when she licks her feet.

I don't think you're being overprotective at all. I think I'd consider the same if Princess went out often or didn't have to walk (run!) 3 flights of carpet to come in. That helps keep all of our feet cleaner.
And besides, I think we all have something special we do for each particular yorkie to make our lives & theirs easier.

I say, whatever makes you feel your furbabies are safe and well cared for is A-okay! All of us have different obsessions with these little cuties. It's just great that we have a place where we can share them and not feel embarrassed. Keep those feet squeaky clean, it certainly couldn't hurt!
