It may be difficult to believe that I would be this excited about a “dog bath” product, but this Booster Bath is one of the best products for my dog that I have bought all year. My Siberian husky, Graci, developed a skin allergy problem, and when the doctor told me I needed to bath her with a medicated shampoo two to three times a week, AND leave the shampoo on the dog for 10 minutes, I groaned. Bathing a toy yorkie in your kitchen sink is one thing, but bathing a large dog has challenges. It is hard to keep the dog quiet, bending over puts you in an uncomfortable position, and then having her stand for ten minutes for the shampoo to work, well, all you big dog lovers know what I am talking about!
I decided there had to be a better mouse-trap (dog bath) out there somewhere. My research brought me to the Booster Bath, invented and sold y “Paws for Thought” out of California. The unit is very easy to assemble, and every piece of it is high quality and made to last with UV Stabilized with stainless steel components. The unit is 50” long x 22” wide and weighs only 22 pounds. There is an open entry in the rear, there is a no-slip bottom cushioned mat so she doesn’t slip, and the tub is slanted ever so-slight toward the drain so that the water goes down and out the 5 foot discharge hose and she isn’t standing in water.
There is an adjustable leash restraint with a removable collar, so once the dog is in the tub , you hook them in and they stand and can’t go anywhere. Graci jumps in on her own, I hook her up and now we are ready for an easy and stress-free bath (for her and for me!)
The bath is a breeze, because the tub 33” tall, and I dont have to bend over at all. She is right at my level, so I can wash every part of her body with attention and ease. After I rinse her off, the towel dry is equally a breeze. Then I unhook her, and she turns around and jumps out. I think this Booster Bath would be perfect to bath your “trail riding” dogs when you get back from a long ride. The ease of this bath also encourages you to give the dog flea baths and other “coast enhancing” baths.
The Booster Bath sells for $179.00, you can find out more and order at their website www.petloverspalace.com.
