If you’re a dog owner, you know that the struggle of bath time is real. From the sheer difficulty of trying to get your dog to just sit still, to the incessant growling at the mere sound of bath water. Getting your dog clean is a laborious process for all involved.
Most dogs are scared of bathing mainly due to their fear of water, plus the claustrophobic bath environment. This makes bathing harmful for a dog’s mental health, as it rapidly increases both their stress and anxiety levels.
A dog’s sense of smell is 10,000 times stronger than a human’s. As a result, dogs tend to make their behavioral and emotional decisions based upon sensory information received from their sense of smell. In other words, when a dog picks up its favorite scent, their stress levels go down. This inspired us to develop our latest product: Shower Dog. Let’s use our dogs’ favorite scent to help them relax while they bathe!
Dogs love the distinctive fragrances that resemble the scent of their owner. That’s why our special French rose oil fragrance perfectly recreates the scent of the typical dog owner. This helps dogs stay calm, and relieves their stress levels.
When Shower Dog is inside your shower head, the filter melts in the running water, and the fragrance that dogs love is dispersed through the water. This makes it easier to clean your dog, as the filter helps relieve the dog’s fear and stress.
As you use Shower Dog, your dog will learn that bathing is no longer something to be afraid of, but a joyful experience to look forward to. That means bath time will no longer be such a struggle.
The Shower Dog shower filter is made of 100% edible ingredients, making it completely safe to use with our pets. Shower Dog is also made with 60% Ascorbic Vitamin C, which helps exfoliate and relieve dry skin.
To assemble, simply place the Shower Dog filter in the shower head, then twist until secure. Shower Dog is compatible with any shower model.
Worried about the lasting smell? Shower Dog’s natural fragrance evaporates quickly, and doesn’t seep into your dog’s body or fur.
STEP 1. Take out the Shower Dog shower filter from the packaging and get your dog to familiarize itself with the smell. After 30-60 seconds, bring your dog into the bathtub.
STEP 2. With the Shower Dog filter installed in your shower head, collect water in the tub at about the height of your dog’s ankle. Once your dog has taken in the fragrance of the bath, place your dog in the bathtub.
STEP 3. Use low water pressure as you slowly wash your dog from back to front, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Your dog will grow comfortable with the water and learn to love bath time.
TIP: The Shower Dog filter can also be used as a bath bomb. Should you find the filter installation process troublesome, you can also directly place the shower filter into the bath.
The Shower Dog filter was inspired by Pavlovian conditioning. Pavlov showed that dogs could be conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell if that sound was repeatedly rung at the same time that the dog was given food.
By providing dogs with a distinct, attractive fragrance before each bathing session, we believe that Shower Dog filter can act as a tool to condition your dogs to reduce the fear and stress associated with bathing.
This effect can be further amplified when used in combination with your dog’s favorite snacks.
