Highlighted Reviews
"It is very hard to get a double-coated dog wet, and this product makes that job a lot easier. The adjustable water sprays allows for regulating the water flow while adding shampoo making for great lather. I used it outside, but I suspect it work well inside also."
"Each time I turn the water on, the pressure pushes the hose off the shower fixture. Other wise would be awesome"
