Canine cleaning contraption

With dogs from a Spanish speaking country in North America still by far the biggest players in the seemingly perpetual Japanese pet boom, it’s perhaps appropriate then that when it comes to convenient — and indeed comical — canine cleaning contraptions, one sent from Spain is seen as suitable.

At least for the master.

    Do they supply a rubber-duckie?

    No, but they should do. That poor little fella wasn’t happy. Not in the slightest.

    I don’t think my schnauzer would appreciate the auto-wash!

    I write for a blog on the Mom’s Talk Network & linked you blog in a post I did about blogs from around the country. You can find the post here http://www.momstalknetwork.com/resources/link-love-a-global-perspective/.

    Enjoy your weekend!

    Hummm most dogs and cats aren’t happy when you give them a bath….worked for a vet for years, can’t remember the number of times i was bitten and/or as soaked as the pet from all the shaking they did. Go Go dog-O-maticwash

    Washed in a contraption like that…must be extra terrifying for the dog. Mexican dogs are a favourite in Japan?

      Chihuahuas are. Admittedly they are probably about as Mexican as corgis now, but I guess that’s where they are still classed as being from.

    It’s been some years since I’ve visited Japan but the place just seems to keep getting better and better!
