Common Questions and Answers
Is the hansgrohe DogShower suitable for my dog?
hansgrohe DogShower can generally be used for every dog. Regardless of the dog breed, you should make sure that the brush knobs do not get caught in the dog's fur when using it. If your dog has a very long coat, you should be particularly gentle with the brush or wash your dog without using the brush.
Is hansgrohe DogShower also suitable for short / long fur?
hansgrohe DogShower can be used for any coat length. With long or matted dog hair, however, you should be particularly careful and make sure that the dog's hair does not get caught in the brush. Alternatively, you can simply wash your dog on the fur without using the brush.
My dog is losing a lot of fur. Is hansgrohe DogShower the solution?
hansgrohe DogShower is not a substitute for regular grooming with a brush / undercoat comb, but an additional care benefit while washing your dog, which helps you brush out loose fur. If your dog is losing a lot of fur, it's best to ask your veterinarian for advice.
Can I rinse my dog's undercoat with the hansgrohe DogShower?
Thanks to the hansgrohe DogShower's water-bearing brush, your dog's coat will reliably get wet even with a thick undercoat. During washing, part of the fur, including the undercoat, is usually brushed off. If your dog has a lot of undercoat, after washing and drying your dog, using an brush may help.
Can I also use hansgrohe DogShower if my dog does not have an undercoat?
Yes. The hansgrohe DogShower can be used for all dogs - but it can be particularly helpful to owners of dogs with a lot of undercoat.
Can hansgrohe DogShower also untangle felted fur?
hansgrohe DogShower is not suitable for this, as the brush can then get caught in the fur. Instead, we recommend a visit to the dog groomer who can help you untangle your darling.
Is washing with hansgrohe DogShower pleasant for the dog?
If your dog likes getting washed your dog will love it all the more with hansgrohe DogShower. If your dog doesn't like wash day, that might change with the hansgrohe DogShower. Nevertheless, washing with hansgrohe DogShower is a more pleasant experience for your dog than with a conventional shower head or a garden hose. The brushing creates a familiar feeling that most dogs love, and the stroking movement (front to back and top to bottom) gives your darling extra peace of mind. The selected jet types are extra gentle and quiet.
Do the brush-like knobs cause my dog pain?
No - the knobs are specially rounded at the front and have a soft consistency (silicone). Brushing is therefore comfortable for your dog. You should still be careful not to apply too much pressure while brushing.
Can I also wash sensitive areas on my dog with the hansgrohe DogShower? e.g. head, paws, bottom...
Yes, we have integrated a gentle mono jet into the hansgrohe DogShower for this purpose: the soft and focused jet is perfect for washing sensitive areas such as the face, paws and buttocks.
