Pet Bath Brush with Built In Shampoo Dispenser

Bath time falls apart the moment you let go to reach for the bottle. One hand off the dog and he's halfway out of the tub, shaking water over the wall before you've even found the cap.

The shampoo lives inside this pet bath brush. It comes up through the bristles right where you're already scrubbing, so the hand holding the dog never leaves him.

Why it beats a bottle and a free hand:

• Shampoo in the handle: press and it feeds through the bristles, so nothing gets put down mid-wash
• Soft silicone bristles: they bend rather than scratch, and reach past the top layer of a double coat
• Refill with your own shampoo: lid off, pour, lid on, so you aren't tied to anybody's refill
• Also works empty: leave the reservoir dry and it becomes a massage brush that lifts loose fur
• Hanging loop: it goes on a hook instead of into a puddle on the side of the tub

Filling it takes a moment. Pop the lid, pour the shampoo in, click it shut, then press the head against the coat. The whole setup happens before the dog is even in the bath.

Wet coat or dry coat. Full, it lathers. Empty, it's a dry massage brush that lifts loose fur and dander out of the coat instead of leaving it on the sofa.

It hangs up and dries out. There's a loop at the end of the handle and the silicone rinses clean, so it dries between baths rather than sitting damp and going sour.

Getting the size right

One size, 7.1 in (18 cm) long with a 3 in (7.5 cm) head. That's a palm-sized brush that suits everything from cats to large dogs, since the head is worked over the coat rather than sized to the animal.

Specifications

• Head: Soft silicone bristles
• Handle: Transparent reservoir with a removable lid
• Size: 7.1 in (18 cm) long, head 3 in (7.5 cm) wide
• Use: Wet bathing, or dry with the reservoir empty
• Storage: Hanging loop at the end of the handle

Safety note: Use pet shampoo only, rinse the reservoir out every few baths, and keep the pressure light around the face and belly. Never use human shampoo, since the pH is wrong for a pet's skin.

Fill the handle before you run the water, and the dog stays in the tub, both hands stay on him, and the whole thing is over sooner.
