All dog owners understand that pets are part of the family. We eat with them, spend time with them, and celebrate milestones. These furry and loyal creatures are a great addition to our lives.

Therefore, most dog owners make it their mission to provide a good life for their pets.

Some dog owners go above and beyond when it comes to spoiling their fur babies. Some will build a dog house where their dog can play while others might create a cute bed for them.

Regardless, there are multiple ways to show love to our pets.

It can be through gifts, food, care, time, or love.

One way to show your dog love (and make your life a lot easier!) is to invest in a doggy shower.

These showers are a growing trend amongst dog owners around the world.

According to the New York Times, people buying dog showers has become a growing trend.

For one, a dog shower is a versatile add-on to your home because it saves you money and stress.

Instead of going out to have your animal groomed and cleaned, you can do it in your home. It’s also a lot safer for your pet because they don’t have to jump over the edge of the tub. It will also result in less strain on your back.

Another reason for a dog shower is that it contains the mess the baths create and your dog won’t spread puddles or grime in your home. You can also keep all bath toys and washing accessories in one place.

It’s not just dogs who benefit from a dog shower.

You can use the dog shower to clean muddy rain boots, wash gardening tools, clean large items, leave wet umbrellas, and to rinse children’s dirty feet.

William Harrison, the principal architect of Harrison Design, said that his firm has been designing dog showers for many clients.

“In the beginning, some clients asked us to design a shower with a higher platform so they could more comfortably wash their dog,” he said in an interview with TODAY Home. “Now it’s morphed into a highly desired feature.”

No wonder pet owners love dog showers.

He also acknowledges that dog showers are safer than bathtubs.

“You try bathing a big dog at home; it’s a big mess! Not only is the dog unhappy in the tub, but the suds, fur and water get everywhere,” Harrison continued. “It can also be unsafe as wet dogs can get hurt trying to jump out of a slippery bathtub.”
