Cheap Pet Jet Washer - Sprays Water and Shampoo for One-Handed Grooming


I saw this on sale for around $20.00 at my local Petsmart. This was the lowest price for a spray shower adapter I could find at the time, so I decided "why not." Prior to using this, I used an old plastic pitcher to wet and rinse my dog down in the tub. The pitcher method works, but spray showers are much easier to use.

My assessment on this product's features:

Easy lock button to keep water flowing continuously: Can help prevent hand fatigue when bathing larger animals.

Comfort grip handle for one handed operation: It's okay, not sure for people with small hands.

Two quick connectors allow you to connect the Pet Jet for outdoor or indoor use: You can leave the kitchen/bathroom connector on indefinitely, however, I'm not too sure about the garden hose. Maybe if you have a quick connector setup for your garden hose. Personally, I would've preferred having a quick connector that attached to a standard dual shower-head configuration.

Dual trigger action, press button for soap and squeeze handle for water: If not using the shampoo reservoir, pressing both buttons increases the water pressure - not enough to harm the animal, but it does make rinsing faster, especially for double-coated dogs that are hard to wet down.

Internal shampoo reservoir holds enough shampoo for several washings: Not sure if it holds enough for several shampoos, but it does make bath time easier and faster. Just be sure to dilute your normal-brand pet shampoo.

Other thoughts:
Make sure you don't cross-thread the connector to your bathroom/kitchen faucet. There are only a few threaded rows, and if not careful, they can be easily cross-threaded. Use a wrench to tighten if necessary.

Don't leave the water running when the spray shower is idle. This causes a build=up of water pressure and the hose could rupture if you're not careful.

Before disconnecting the hose, turn off the water and release the trigger on the sprayer to void the hose of excess water. Remove the sprayer from the hose, and let the hose completely drain.

Conclusion: Overall, I'm satisfied with the product, but I doubt I'd have made this purchase if it wasn't on sale.Get more detail about Pet Jet Washer - Sprays Water and Shampoo for One-Handed Grooming.
