pump bottle for dog shampoos  

My dog loves the bath so much we have to lock her out of the bathroom or she will jump in the tub. I don't see pumps on the shampoos either.

There are some shampoos that have a pump. I am not sure exactly which brand but my mom always has one for our dogs at home and it helps so much when I wash the dogs. Also have you tried looking for a brand or asking a sales clerk at a pet store about it? maybe you can order a bottle then just refill it with whatever you want.

You can by the industrial size pet shampoo, like the groomers use with a pump but not many if any of the regular sized. It is a cost factor. If you think about it most human shampoo does not come in a pump bottle any more either. The cost of having the pump would increase the cost and it is a risk/reward that many manufacturers are not willing to take. So keep your pump bottle handy because it sure does sound like it is making your life much easier.

hbi carmelanirel what a good suggestion. most people have the
same problem when it comes to washing their dogs or puppies.
this would enable anyone to get the dog there while shampooing
him or her. Also usually most people have a spare pump bottle
on hand and thats a great use for it.

I think that's a wonderful idea you should pass along to the companies that make puppy shampoo....When I had my dog I had the same problem....then there would be so much shampoo in one spot I had to rinse and rinse and another area wasn't getting enough!

Totally with you on this! Trying to wash a dog and then squeeze out shampoo with wet and/or soapy hands is frustrating. I always save pumps because they are so convenient and reusable. Never thought to put the dog shampoo in one though!! Go figure. Thanks for the idea!

I never really thought about it. But I don't have too much trouble. I hold my dog with one hand, and with the other I squeeze out the shampoo. But I bet it would sell well if some companies decided to try the pump with dog shampoo. Of course if I were bathing two dogs at once, I would be exasperated with no pump.

Where I live it's easy to bathe our dogs. Especially the big ones. We grab the shampoo, go down to the lake and have them jump in. Then when they climb out of the water we soap them down...then get them on someones dock and we throw a stick out in the lake for them to jump off the dock and fetch it. It makes bath time rather easy.

With the mini's its a bit more difficult. I stick them in the tub and hope for the best. It doesn't work out too well, and the pump bottle idea is super! I have four of them in the bathroom right now-so I know what to do with them. I just have to mark them in big letters so that I don't use dog shampoo on my hair! Of course it wouldn't be too bad, my coat would be nice and shiney and I wouldn't have fleas!!!

My dog shampoo is in a pump bottle. I brought it that way. I have to check out the store and see if there are many with a pump bottle or not. It makes it so much easier to shampoo having one hand available to pump and the other to hold him. I will keep this pump bottle in case I don't find the same shampoo again.

What an interesting concept! it would certainly make it easier to bathe the dog. There's nothing less annoying than chasing a dog for a bath with a bottle of dog shampoo to apply.
