Abstract
A self actuating sole wetting device (10) is provided for use in treating the soles of shoes, feet, paws and the like with a wetting solution (20) selected for a particular hygienic purpose. The device (10) includes a sole receiving subassembly (14) and a peripheral structure subassembly (16) forming a tray, and a reservoir subassembly (18) for delivering the solution to the tray. Absorbent pad members (58, 60) allow wetting uneven surfaces and prevent splashing. Flow control on the reservoir prevents excessive depth and splashing. The sole wetting device is particularly adapted for use with animals such as dogs or in canine environments, to prevent the spread of parvo and other diseases.
