Dog Washing Machine

A machine made specifically for washing dogs is making the lives of groomers easier in Japan.

It may look more like a washer machine for clothes, but this contraption is perfectly safe for pets.

No more scratches from wrestling with unwilling animals, and it is much cheaper for the customer, too.

A machine wash only costs ten dollars, compared to the 50 dollars that is usually charged for a hand washing.

The only limitation is the size of the dog, big ones won't fit.

The machine was designed in the U.S. and has been available here for a while, but so far Japan only has ten of them.

Impressions:

This newest technological advance in Japan on dog bath seems more popular with owners than dogs. Well, according to my research, the full cycle lasts 33 minutes and includes a shampoo, a rinse and a dry and that more and more people are making use of the dog washing machine such as one installed in a pet supermarket called Joyful Honda in the suburbs of Tokyo.

Is this some kind of animal cruelty? Well I guess we just have to weigh the pros and cons of convenience as against seeing our pet dogs inside a dog washing machine. I must admit, dog bathing is not an easy task especially if your dog washing supplies only revolve in a dog wash tub. It can give you scratches as you battle with your pet dogs' mood for that moment. But I must salute the inventors as they took dog grooming one step ahead thru innovation. With this invention, 'do it yourself dog grooming" will become much easier for pet dog enthusiasts!
