Mad pets running around, most wet (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dampest

'most wet' is the definition.
('damp' can be similar in meaning to 'wet')

'mad pets running' is the wordplay.
'running' is an anagram indicator (the letters run around to different places).
'mad'+'pets'='madpets'
'madpets' anagrammed gives 'DAMPEST'.

'around' acts as a link.

(Another definition for dampest that I've seen is " most clammy!".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
