Pet Groomer
The AquaPaw® Pet Bathing Tool is a rubberized combination sprayer and scrubber that attaches to either a showerhead (via an installed adapter) or garden hose (via a quick connector). The adjustable strap secures the product on the groomers hand during use, and water flow is easily stopped and started by a quick squeeze. Another advantage of the AquaPaw is the ability to get the water into the pet’s undercoat in a gentle yet effective manner, resulting in a faster rinse and less stress on the owner and pet.
