DOGWorld Magazine Recommends Booster Bath as a Premium Pet Product for the New Millennium: "The Booster Bath raised tub that we highlight was given to Sleddog Rescue of Tennessee. The organization needs to bath from 25 to 30 dogs per month, so if the tub can hold up under those conditions, then it is one we can recommend to you. Make a wish list of features you would want in a canine bathtub and the Booster Bath probably fulfills it. There is no need to lift the dog because the cutaway design allows it to enter on its own. Weighing only 22 pounds, the tub is easy to move from storage to washing area-this makes bathing dogs a convenience instead of a chore. If you buy any doggie item for yourself or someone else this year, this should be it." - Susan Thorpe-Vargas, Ph.D., and John C. Cargill, M.A., M.B.A., M.S. Helpful Bathing Hints:
After setting up your Booster Bath, encourage your dog to enter and exit a few times before bathing. You may want to have treats on hand and always remember to praise him or her for good behavior.
When first applying water, start by spraying low volume on their paws. This allows them to feel that warm water is coming. And of course we recommend not using cold water.
When it's time to rinse out the shampoo, rinse it out thoroughly. Residual shampoo left on your pet can potentially cause skin irritation.
It is always a good idea to save washing their head for last, as this will reduce shaking.
Never spray water into your pets ears, this can potentially cause ear infections. To avoid this when rinsing, cup your hand over the ear or simply pinch ears shut with your hand.
Always dry your pet thoroughly in the Booster Bath. In most cases medium to large dogs will require two towels, so it's a good idea to have them with you when you begin.
Never leave your pet unattended in the Booster Bath.
Remember, a clean pet is a happier healthier pet! |
