While we bath our dogs during the cold winter months we all have to rely on the bathtub or shower in our homes, unless of course, you take your dog for professional grooming. When the weather is warm you should bath your dog outdoors in a dog wash tub. This washtub, designed especially for bathing dogs, will offer built-in features to make washing your dog so much more convenient and maybe even enjoyable. A well designed portable dog wash tub will have a place for all the necessary things you need during bath time. Get organized with the shampoo, conditioner, brush, washcloth and dry towel by keeping them all in the designated space. Those folks bathing their dogs outdoors will most likely be using a common garden hose. Most garden hose spray nozzles are great for washing the car or watering the garden but, not for washing the dog. Some dogs are frightened or intimidated by the high pressure spray from the nozzle. You can lessen your dog's fear of the hose by removing the spray nozzle. You still need some sort of "on-off" spray nozzle so you won't waste water. Just be sure it has a soft or gentle spray. Any of the home improvement stores should have a nozzle suitable for bathing your dog. Another great feature to look for in a dog wash tub is the all important leash retainer. Having a bath is not on a dogs list of fun things to do and some dogs really take it personal. Having the leash retainer will keep the dog in the tub and help you stay focused. The dog should remain leashed and restrained throughout the entire bathing process, the bath, the rinse and the drying. When choosing a wash tub, be sure it has a good drainage system. You should be able to simply rinse the tub out for easy clean up. It is a good idea to have a no-slip surface where the dog will be standing during the bath. There is a dog washtub made of every type of material imaginable, from fiberglass to plastic and vinyl to stainless steel. Some are portable and store away easily after each bath. Other wash tubs for dogs, the ones built for professional dog grooming, require a more dedicated space for permanent installation. A portable dog wash Tub will come in different sizes and shapes, some with accessories and some without. The prices range from somewhere under a hundred dollars to as much as you would ever want to spend. They all have their own attributes and unique features. Just look around for the best deal with the most options. It is always wise to read reviews and testimonials on any product before you actually make the purchase.
