Futureproof: Hug-Powered Pet Washer
West Highland Terriers, known especially for the merits of their ground and digging instincts and how they can assist search and rescue teams after natural disasters, are prime candidates for the Hug-a-Dub-Dub hug-powered pet washer.
FUTURE NARRATIVE /
Are your pets uncooperative at bath time? Then, you’ll love the Hug-a-Dub-Dub! hug-powered pet washer! Just slip your critter into the easy-access washing suit and buckle them in.

Squeeze the tail bulb or give your pet hugs, and micro streams of cleaning solution move through hundreds of pores in each cleaning chamber, gently cleaning your pet’s coat and skin. Slide open the paw drains and repeat with a warm water rinse cycle. A universal hair dryer attachment allows quick drying without all the “hair in the air” mess.
