DECENDENTX "Where X Marks The Spot For Entertainment!"
The idea of this BISSELL Bark Bath PLUS is such a great idea. Less mess, less water, easy portable bath. Unfortunately I did not feel like it worked any better or easier than a traditional bath. The product itself was easy enough to set up, most of which comes already attached. You have a small green plastic piece to attach on the front base as well as a gray plastic piece with one screw to attach to the back which allows you to hold the tube when the product is not in use. The bath system came with the bark bath attachment, the system itself, a 16oz bottle of no-rinse Bissell dog shampoo, microfiber cloth and microfiber mat, and even a complimentary dog comb which was nice. Use was simple, water in the main tank, soap in the bark bath attachment, turn on, press button, wash dog, then rinse. One thing is the microfiber mat is so small, unless you have a very small dog yours will not be able to sit on it well. Secondly there are some prongs on the brush itself, so it did not work well with our short haired dog, we kept feeling like we were accidentally scratching her. I think it would work better with longer haired breeds. It took a long time for the product to finally dry out, so I suggest leaving it open for a while otherwise you may trap water and get mold. You have to use the shampoo they sell, its suggested, and costly. I realized this product is just the Bissell spot cleaner, without the spot cleaner attachments, and with the dog grooming attachment. If I were to buy them i would get the spot cleaner, with the dog grooming attachment that way you can use one product for many different things, however I don't think I would but this product. Also this thing is LOUD! If you have a dog that is not used to the product they may get scared and such like ours did, I don't think our dog will ever truly get used to this, and would probably be easier just to bath her in the tub from now on to be honest.
