    My dog hates getting a bath too. She'd have the same puss on her if she was in that thing.

    While this sounds like a good idea - how do the logistics work? If you walk the dog to the wash, it'll get filthy on the walk home. If you drive it there, how do you stop it destrying your car?

    It is a bit alright but I suppose but I guess the fact that it's a contained area, has a blow dry feature and it might be more convenient for some people means it will find a market.

    Money makes the world go round people! They'd sell you fresh air if they thought you'd buy it! Infact in Japan they do, scented, from vending machiens! Personally, i use the more convential trees for my supply, and my dog gets a good soak in the garden, with special doggy shampoo everytime he gets smelly....none of the fancy stuff ;)

    it doesnt look happy at all

    Not a happy pooch, pointless thing that dogwash, all you need is a sponge and some water... some dog shampoo if the dog REALLY smells.

    The same thing is in the Texaco in Lucan, absolutly pointless i live nearby and use the garage regularily and have never seen anyone use it yet

    I was at a greyhound trainers house one time.. they had dog jacuzzis... strange, but looked damn cool.

    I use one of these, my dog doesnt like it either, our options are 1. wash him with a garden hose (lovely and cold at this time of year) or wash him in our bath or kitchen sink. I dont fancy the latter he doesnt fancy the former (he whines for hours) so the doggie wash is a happy compromise.

    i brought my dalmation. he's not keen on being washed at all but it got the job done and it didn't stress him out at all wagged his tale yesterday(second time to be washed) the whole way there and back!
