There are many reasons why using a specially-designed dog shower head is a good idea. We will look at this below and suggest the best features to consider when buying one.

A garden hose isn’t an ideal tool to use to wash your dog as the water pressure can be too high, the spray can be too concentrated and it isn’t particularly relaxing for your dog. A shower head is often a more gentle and effective way of cleaning your four-legged friend. They can often be used with just one hand (giving you use of the other hand to soothe your dog) and sometimes have multiple spray options for different parts of the body. Some even have massage attachments too.
Take a look to see if your shower head comes with a length of hose that you can use outside. If it does then you will want a decent length as the longer the hose, the more flexibility you will have with washing your dog.
A pet shower sprayer usually is designed for use in the bath and outside in the garden but you might want to check this first. It’s normally a good option to buy a shower head that can be used in both locations.
One of the best features you can find in a dog shower washer is a massage head. These are pretty easily identifiable as they normally look like rubber teeth (or nodules) that fit around the shower head. What we like about this particular feature is that it serves multiple uses and not only acts as a tool for scrubbing, cleaning, and shampooing but it also gently removes old fur and provides a gentle massage experience for your pup too.
If your usual method of washing your dog involves two hands then you will likely be looking for a one-handed option. The problem with using two hands is that it’s difficult to hold a shower head in one hand and a scrubber in the other whilst also taking care of your dog and ensuring that they feel calm and safe! A one-handed shower head means that you can activate the water with the hand that it is attached to whilst gently scrubbing their fur with the same hand. This means that you other hand is free to maneuver your dog and pet them and make them feel relaxed.
Before washing your dog, you will want to make sure that you have everything you need on-hand. Make sure that you have at least one towel (you might need one too!) and that the shower head is attached and ready to use. If you are washing your dog outside you may want to keep them on a leash. Brush your dog’s fur before washing to remove tangles, place cotton wool in their ears, and have plenty of treats on hand. Using a little dog shampoo (never use human beauty products) work up a lather and start to massage the shampoo into their fur. Rinse and repeat and make sure you give Fido plenty of treats for being a good boy! Never use the shower head for faces or sensitive areas – you can use a damp cloth for this. Dry gently with a towel and don’t forget to remove the cotton wool!
A: There are no hard and fast rules regarding how often your dog should be washed but as a general rule of thumb at least once every three months. It depends on the breed and how often they get dirty and smelly, if you start to smell your dog then it might be time for a wash! Some dogs need a wash much more often with a gentle cleanser. Speak to your veterinary for advice as overwashing can be detrimental to their health.
A: You can but it’s better to use a shower head that has been specially designed for dogs. These are easier to use, can normally be used with one hand, and are more gentle and effective.
We chose the Waterpik PPR-252 Pet Wand Pro Shower Sprayer Attachment as the top choice because we liked the curved design that sits in your hand nicely and comfortably. This wand provides good full coverage, is easy to use, and can penetrate even the thickest fur.
