Luvs Lulu Donating Member | That is exactly why I do it....plus it gives her less room to run around. Zoey so doesnt' like baths.

| Piccolo does better in the tub, but it is tough on my "creaky" old knees and back!

| Mine get bathed in the kitchen sink...it's too hard to keep up with them in the bathtub...too much room to get away from me....and tooooo hard on the back.

| Little Man and Odie gets their baths in the tub, because they are to big to put in the kitchen sink! Tawny gets her in the kitchen sink.

| Mine get their baths in the kitchen sink. We installed a new sink a couple of months ago...the big single tub, extra deep, white porcelain kind...plenty of room and easy on the back and knees. I just clean it out with Clorox kitchen cleaner with bleach when I'm done. |

| Kitchen sink here!! I have had three back surgeries and am not even supposed to lean over to wash out a tub nor mop, etc. I figure it's not nearly as "germy" as raw chicken! Wellll ... I don't really cook either ... OK, Toto just likes to be in the kitchen sink! Anybody got a problem with that?!? Seriously, I sterilize my sink and counters both before and after Toto gets her bath. I am really more "anal" about germs and Toto than I am germs and us! I figure she has to be protected because she can't protect herself. We are, supposedly, intelligent so we can look out for ourselves!

| We use the tub. Both of them are very good and stand still until I am ready to dry them off. I only do one at a time though.

| Kitchen sink because of back problems. Also, Conner does not like baths and would not stay still in the tub.

Oh - lucky you! I want a single tub sink like that! Ours is the divided kind and although big enough, I would like it a little bigger and the deeper part too! LOL....Bettyanne....I never even thought about the germs (I do use comet before and after,though)...I guess with giving them kisses, I don't worry about the germs too much

| I use a laundry tub which is in the basement -- in a little grooming area I set up for myself. I bought one of the spray attachments that I found at Walmart in the pet department that hooks onto the faucet -- has multi spray options -- you can even put shampoo into it -- works great and the laundry tub is high enough that I don't get a back ache after bathing 3 yorkies. |
