I don't have to do any bending over so it works out just fine for both of us. Someone once made a remark about bathing dogs in a sink as though it was some kind of disgusting thing to do, as though there is no way to clean a sink out after bathing a dog in it. I would think that a bath tub would need to be cleaned out after a dog bath as well. I always clean them both after use anyway. |
I remember that post...lol I always clean the kitchen sink
before bathing the dogs in it...lol I also put down special mats for them to stand on, too. I can adjust the sprayer, and have seen the doggie ones, but the shower head set at the 'rain' setting is just soooo wonderful...we leave it that way because it is sooo nice.
I consider the sink to be 'the last dish' when washing dishes anyway, but with all that food being washed/rinsed off in the sink, I'm more concerned that nothing is still on their feet
after a bath in it than
before. I worry they might get a 'moldy particle' or something...irrational...yep, I know! hee hee But, 'they say' that the kitchen sink and sponge are some of the 'nastiest' even when you clean everything...which kind of makes no sense if your dish soap is truly "anti-bacterial" like it says on the bottle.
I have a walk-in shower with sliding glass doors, and do either the both dogs in the double sink...tandem...or in the shower...tandem also. Sunny, I always wash by herself...she takes a lot more time, especially to dry and brush out. I know what you mean about the bending, though, but the shower is just so fast with that wide spray. I 'could' put a waist high wash table in the shower...I just don't at this time.
