Best Outdoor Dog Baths – Showers & Washing Stations

Although this is an article about outdoor dog baths, this indoor/outdoor tool is too good to pass on. The gadget features both indoor and outdoor adapters, so there’s no excuse not to keep your pet clean.

The ergonomic design benefits both dog and owner and makes it easier to control a large breed dog. It’s lightweight thanks to its slim build, and it’s also flexible.

I like the nozzle pattern. It helps minimize the amount of side spraying and thus save some water. It should also speed up the bathing process. If your dog is usually anxious, this may be just the thing it needs.

Another great thing about it is the lifetime warranty. Although unlikely to break or rip due to its build quality, the Bathing Scrubber can very well be a one-time investment for all your pet bathing needs.

Last but not least, you should know that the Bathing Scrubber will fit all hand sizes. That’s because it features an adjustable strap with multiple hooking points.

The Booster Bath Elevated Pet Bath is a quick-snap tub, and it’s effortless to assemble. It has four plastic legs for improved stability and a leash and collar with three anchor points. That should give you enough leverage against your dog while you bathe him.

Although it may not look too impressive, the tub does have a 125lbs weight capacity. It should be enough for small, medium, and some large breeds. Of course, if your dog is anxious and squirms a lot, the bath may not hold as well.

There’s also an innovative drain system. It helps get rid of dirty water while you’re washing, and it prevents excess splashing.

The dimensions are as follows: 45”x21.25”x15”. Of that, the legs alone are 19” tall. I find this tall enough to make washing your dog a more comfortable experience. And, with the 20” entrance, it shouldn’t be too hard to train your dog to get in on its own.

You can connect the Waterpik PPR 252 attachment directly to your standard garden hose. This way, it’s easy, quick, and you don’t have to worry about any mess inside your house.

The wand shape of the PPR 252 gives excellent coverage. It makes short work of small breeds and also helps wash large breeds very fast. The attachment is lightweight and ergonomic. You can use it with just one hand and have the other free for scrubbing.

The narrow spray pattern is a convenient perk too. While there’s no way to change the spray pattern, you can adjust the water flow. You can do this by turning the dial located just above the wand’s rubber grip.

I also like the addition of a storage hook, which makes it easy to store the wand off the ground.

If you’re looking for a professional-grade bathing station for your dog, this PawBest tub may be for you. It’s a massive tub made for harsh weather conditions, and it has a high weight capacity. It even has a ramp that allows dogs to get in and out with ease.

Although PawBest includes a 6” faucet sprayer, the tub’s connections are compatible with 4”, 6”, and 8” faucets. There’s also a grooming arm that features two loops and overhead design.

An anti-slip mat, drain, and a hair trap are also in the package to help keep the tub clean and prevent clogging. I like that you can easily wash two dogs at the same time, at least small and medium breeds. Furthermore, there are two leash anchor points at each side of the tub.

That, and the fact that the overhead arm is long enough, will allow you to wash both your dogs at the same time. It will also save you plenty of time on grooming.

Although initially designed for indoor use, you can use this sprayer glove with your garden hose as well. But, unlike most hand sprayers, this one has some extra perks. First of all, it has a neat spring around the hose to boost its durability.

Secondly, around the nozzles and all the way up towards the fingertips, the glove features rows of soft massaging brush tips. I also like the inclusion of a small water flow control switch. It’s not the best money can buy, but it can help adjust the water flow depending on your dog’s coat.

You can use the wrist strap to make sure that the glove won’t come off, even when using maximum water pressure. It also helps scrub and groom your dog with more confidence.

I will say that the glove may not suit everyone equally well. Based on its design and limited finger room, it may not fit you if you have large hands or long fingers. Note that this shower glove may not work on your standard garden hose without an aftermarket adapter.

This tub comes in two colors, white and blue. It’s not the biggest tub at 37.5”x19.5”x35.5” (LWH). But it does have a 150lbs weight capacity, which should be enough even for some large breeds.

The basin itself is heavy-duty plastic, but not the most rugged construction. That said, I like that the legs are both adjustable in height and made of stainless steel. They’re robust and adaptable.

Due to the basin’s design, you’ll get 360 degrees access. It should help if your dog’s a squirmer or anxious when groomed.

At the small end of the tub, you’ll notice three anchor rings. They should help get a more reliable hold on your dog while washing. And, the drain at the other end can help to dispose of the dirty water quickly. Unfortunately, a drain hose is not included, so make sure you position the tub somewhere where dirty water runoff won’t be an issue.

You can use the Zacro Foldable Large Dog Pool for leisure and grooming. It’s a great dog bath that can double as a cooling area for your canine in the summer.

The pool has a diameter of 47”, which in my opinion should be enough even for larger breeds. And, the 11.8” height seems enough to control small and medium breeds. One of the coolest features is how it folds. Each wall segment collapses over the adjacent one, much like how an accordion looks.

The pool features a reinforced bottom, and the walls are scratch-resistant PVC. Along with the extra thickness, these features make the pool highly durable, even under extreme weather conditions.

I like that you can take it with you on the road so that you don’t have to skip the regular grooming sessions. And, because it also features a drainage hole, you can fill it up and drain it with ease. That’s as long as your garden hose adapter fits.
