Dog-O-Matic

When a dog comes home from a walk filthy and smelling of something unmentionable, the temptation sometimes is to throw the darn thing in the washing machine.
Well, now you can. An entrepreneur has come up with the Dog-O-Matic, a mini car-wash that transforms pets from filthy to fluffy in half an hour.
Frenchman Romain Jarry, 31, who insists the device is not cruel, hopes to introduce it to Britain next year after it proved a huge success in his home town of St Max, near Nancy.

It costs the equivalent of £13 to wash a small dog, £22 for medium size, rising to £31 for the largest customers.
Cats can also be catered for - at the small-dog price

Mr Jarry said: 'It doesn't take long to wash the dog - usually a few minutes. The longest part is the drying. The dogs don't seem to get bored. They just sit there and they come out clean.
'We are really hoping it will take off and that other places will start buying in the machines.

'I would love them to be available in England within the next year or so but at the moment people are still getting used to the idea.'

Sometimes you're just to tired to jump in the shower. Bring a lawn chair, sit back and relax............. :)

You know, I will admit to getting lazy and taking my truck to the carwash occasionally. But at $55 bucks a throw, the garden hose and dog shampoo are still in my beast's future. Unless she REALLy pisses me off.  ;D

There is a quick lube and car wash near me that advertizes that the have dog wash stations, but I have never been there to see what they're like.  I don't think it's any thing like this though.

I don't know, it might be nice for the kids. :o
The way they look after they're done eating sometimes I think they might be part animal.
