The Do-o-Matic – Dog Washing Machine

No it isn’t April the 1st, and I am not winding you up, someone has invented a washing machine for dogs, called the Dog-o-Matic.

The Dog-o-Matic was created by French Inventor Romain Jarry, and it is designed to be used as a vending machine, where you will be able to take your dog for a wash.

Apparently the machine has been successful in France, so the inventor now intends to bring it to the UK.

The Do-O-Matic takes about 30 minutes to fully wash your dog, and according to the inventor dogs don’t mind being in it, maybe we should put the inventor inside for a quick wash to see what he thinks.

Prices for a dog wash in the Do-0-matic range for $20 to $45 depending on the size of your dog.

This is the most barbaric device. The amount of fear and stress this will cause to the dog is terrible. This product should be banned as it is unethical and inhumane.

I agree with Surgeon. Look at that poor dog. He’s up against the glass because he wants to get out. If you’re so lazy that you won’t wash your pet yourself, you can pay the same prices and get a real person to do it.

I agree, we should all just let dogs revel in their natural stink. Besides, I’ve never heard of a dog being tramuatized by a person giving them a bath. Dogs never fight that!

Being washed by a person in a sink/tub is a bit less terrifying than being stuck in a mechanical cube, that is strange, probably loud, and definately frightening.
Kids fight baths but should we put them in mechanical bathing boxes?

Also you’re supposed to be more careful when washing your dog
For example my dog gets ear infections if water gets into her ears
