How to Bathe Your Dog | How to Videos | BARKBATH™

We'll show you how to bathe your dog using the BarkBath:
  • Place the base unit on the microfiber mat on the floor of the area where you'll be bathing your dog 
  • If your dog has thick or long hair use a screwdriver to remove the screw from the plate of the fading tool to expose longer nozzles
  • Plug the unit into a grounded outlet, and press the power switch to the on position
  • Set the rinse or shampoo switch to the desired setting 
    • For rinse the machine will only dispense water 
    • ​​​​​​​For shampoo the tank will dispense a mixture of shampoo and water 
  • Prime the system by pointing the nozzle at the microfiber mat and pressing and holding the spray trigger for 15 to 20 seconds to allow solution to dispense 
  • Press and hold the spray trigger while gently stroking the nozzle of the bathing tools downwards following the dog's coat 
    • It is important to know that the suction is always on 
  • Release the spray trigger, and use drying strokes to suction up moisture from the dog's coat 
  • To clean more delicate areas of your pet such as the face and paws spray the shampoo and water mixture on the microfiber towel and hand clean as needed 
  • If your dog still has a strong odor clean again or contact a professional 
  • Hope this video gives you a better idea on how to clean your pet
