Shampoo Applicators for Dogs

Of the many joys pet ownership has to offer, washing a rambunctious pooch isn't usually one of them. From dogs that shake suds around a bathroom to animals that try to escape, bath time can be an onerous event. Fortunately, specially made shampoo applicators allow pet owners to wash their dogs using one hand, so they can keep a hold of their canine and simplify the bathing process.

  1. FurBuster

    • Made by the Bamboo company, the FurBuster body brush contains an internal shampoo bottle that you can remove and refill. When washing a dog, you can dispense shampoo using only one hand. The brush is made of soft rubber nubs that penetrate to a dog's skin to remove loose hair, and it can be used in wet or dry conditions. The FurBuster comes in pink, blue or green.

    PetJet

    • Equipped with an 8-inch hose, the PetJet is a dog-washing device that attaches to faucets and garden hoses. Its nozzle has three different intensities of spray: wash, rinse or jet spray for dogs who need a more thorough scrubbing. It also has a dual trigger that releases water or soap, depending which button you push. Shampoo is stored in an internal, refillable shampoo reservoir.

    RapidBath

    • Promising dog baths that last three minutes or less, the HydroSurge RapidBath Pet Bathing System allows pet owners to wash their dogs using a hand-held device. This component, which attaches to showers and outdoor water lines, has a rotating head that massages dogs as it simultaneously washes and wets them, according to HydroSurge's website. Shampoo cartridges are inserted directly into the nozzle of the RapidBath.

    Pet Bath Sponge

    • Textured with 42 massaging bumps, Uncle Norman's Pet Bath Sponge gives dogs a pleasant rub down as you wash them. The sponges contain shampoo, conditioner and odor neutralizer and you can use them for multiple baths, according to the SpongeTech website. The sponge comes in a larger size for bigger animals.
