Microbubble shower to replace dog shampoo
Many dog owners worry about whether dog shampoo is safe for their animals. Now there is an alternative from IDEC, which has modified an industrial wastewater machine into a dog washing device. The unit creates a wave of ion-saturated microbubbles which are gentle to the skin but remove dirt and grease clinging to the animal hair. At JPY600,000-JPY700,000, the new washers are expensive and are targeted at pet stores, but we think it won’t be long before home versions become available.
