Bending over the tub to wash a dirty pooch is hard on the back and knees. The Booster Bath boosts your canine buddy to just the right height for quick and easy bathing indoors or out. This indoor/outdoor portable bathing center not only elevates Fido for bathing ease, it keeps him securely contained, and features a no-mess water and drainage system, so you just clean the dog, not the aftermath of Spot's weekly bath.

This one-of-a-kind dog washing tub is constructed with 1/4-inch-thick, UV-resistant high-density polyethene for longer life, safety and durability. Designed for dogs of all sizes, no dog is too big, or too small. Rubber grips attached to the bottom of the legs keep the Booster Bath from slipping. A unit's fan nozzle features an easy on/off and volume control, plus a solid brass quick-connect for versatile swivel action. A convenient hook provides quick and easy access between rinses. Tub and legs are held together with large non-corroding stainless steel screws and large plastic knobs with stainless steel inserts for optimal durability and for quick and easy disassembly. Legs nest inside tub for compact storage or travel. Perfect for the family dog or professional dog show enthusiasts, the unit is approved by top breeders and veterinarians.

4.0 out of 5 stars You'll still make a mess..., November 2, 2005

By

This review is from: Booster Bath Plastic Dog Bath (Misc.)

The Booster Bath is everything it's advertised to be. It is sturdy and stable, though the walls of the tub *will* bend if a large dog leans against it. It's very convenient for those of us with large dogs and who live in climates that can be inconvenient to be hauling large dogs to get bathed (especially in your car...think lots of snow or rain). It's very convenient for those who have long-haired dogs because you won't plug up your bathtub. I attached a wire mesh balloon type thing to the end of my hose (which I can't do with my tub drain), so it catches all the fur. It cost less than $2 at the local hardware store for a pair. So the Booster Bath is great for me.

BUT - don't think that this wonderful Booster Bath will make it that much more convenient that water won't splash everywhere. Expect a nice BIG puddle of water around you. And water wall-to-wall from your pet's shaking it all off. So if you have to do it indoors like I do, make sure you have a good big space that you can easily clean up afterwards.

DO make sure the drainage hose is pointing down. It might seem very obvious to some, but I didn't realize until after the fact that the hose is self-draining can can't be placed "up" into a sink. It has to drain down like into a sewer drain or outside or into a tub that's lower than your Booster Bath. I had to have an extension made at the hardware store (for less than $10) because my basement doesn't have a sewer drain where I have my setup, but several feet away. In my case it's about 10-12 feet away, while the drainage hose that comes with the Booster Bath is only five feet long as advetised.

However, I couldn't give it five stars because mine came defective: Two of the legs just would NOT fit because the part that receives the leg on the bath was defective. My brother had to force it in and help me put them on. I would have returned it if it weren't for his help and I would have been REALLY IRKED (so keep your box until you're sure all is well). And the little rubber washers that go on the bottom of the legs for traction were not the right ones and so they didn't fit. That wasn't a problem for me because I have the risers as well.

These can be a VERY big problems because the unit is HUGE and it would be a big pain to have to return, but I never called customer services so I can't take that much off from the rating (accidents happen, and I didn't give them a chance to fix it). I found it was better for me to solve the problem myself if it was safe, rather than go through the hassle of replacing such a big unit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this item!!, December 29, 2007

Sean and Betty Jo (Limestone, TN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Booster Bath Plastic Dog Bath (Misc.)

We have owned our booster bath for almost 1 year and we use it constantly. We have 2 Labs, 1 Shepard and a Boxer/Shepard mix on 5 acres. These dogs live primarily indoors thanks mostly to their Booster Bath. We ordered ours with the optional ramp and we have trained our dogs to get in and out on their own, which means no lifting and being close to 50 years of age this is a back saver when dealing with dogs in the 70+ pound range. The bath gets the most use just on rainy days in order to give the dogs a quick paw rinse before coming inside. Ours is set up in a corner of our garage so it is ready at all times, but it is light enough to take outside when giving 4 major baths in nice weather. We do the big baths indoors as well but some splash is to be expected, in our garage this is no big deal.

We have and will continue to recommend this to friends and relatives. Everyone who visits and sees this tub expresses a desire to purchase one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Booster Bath is a "Backsaver", April 9, 2008

My 120lb. male Akita hates bath time. When its over I am soaked head to toe and my back is killing me. This bath tub is very well made and easy to assemble. Everything worked flawlessly. The harness helped to keep him under control and the height of the tub made the bathing easier all the way around. Bath time is faster and more efficient. The tub pays for itself within 4 baths if you have a large dog and usually take him to a commercial location. Money well spent and Amazon had the best price on the net.
