Many dog owners can relate to the struggles of trying to lift their larger breed dog into a bathtub in the home or dealing with the inevitable cleanup of what often feels like a “bathroom flood.” A Pet Wash Station has made the process of bathing our pets much easier. However, Pet Wash Stations are often thought of to be for the smaller dog breeds. Therefore, are they really safe for all dog breeds?

Safety First and Availability for All Breeds

Pet wash stations are built with safety being the main focus. In contrast to a regular tub in your house which can be too big for a smaller dog; GoGo Wash has been designed to handle any size dog without risking injury to them.

Non-Slip Surfaces – Most Pet Wash Stations have textured surfaces to provide traction for the dog’s paws, which will help keep them from slipping and becoming injured. This feature is especially important for senior dogs or those breeds susceptible to joint issues.

Built-In Restraints – To protect our “escape artists” while showering, most Professional Pet Wash Stations will have an adjustable tether that holds the dog securely in place so they cannot jump out and injure themselves.

Ergonomically Designed – The tub’s waist-height level makes it easier on your back but does allow you to securely hold onto your pet providing them with security.

The convenience of professional pet accessories is another thing which makes a dedicated pet washing station so beneficial. You will never have to worry about using a shampoo made for humans on a dog’s sensitive skin anymore; a dedicated washing station typically comes pre-stocked with a selection of pH balanced soaps, as well as special high-powered sprayers that can get through thick double coats (like that of Husky) or give a gentle rinse on sensitive skin (such as a French Bulldog).

The Bottom Line:
A pet washing machine is safe for almost all dog breeds, provided that the owner utilises the safety tethers and maintains an appropriate temperature. A pet washing machine turns a stressful chore into quality time spent together, while leaving the dog clean, and the bathroom dry.

For owners of large breeds that cannot fit into a bathtub, or for people with small puppies that may become anxious during bath time, using a self-service dog washing station allows the owner to have the space, safety, and tools necessary to provide the clean of a professional groomer without spending the money to go to one.
