1. Poor thing is probably scared to death

Baths are traumatic - they need some TLC

3. I'm betting it literally scares the feces out of them....

Poor little thing. I think this is cruel.

6. The poodle didn't seem to mind once the machine started up.

I'm not sure most dogs would be that cooperative.

The woman in the video said she actually got in it once to try it herself! She described the experience as "very comfortable."

2. Cats, too? I dunno. That sounds meaner than a bath by hand

7. Cat bath

I would love to see anyone put my cat in this thing...His payback would be awesome.

4. My dog likes getting bathed

but I know he would be terrified of that.
He likes getting lathered and rinsed by hand, and towel dried.

5. My great dane just turned to me and said "good luck with that, dad" and laughed.

8. LOL!

10. Just One More Job We Can Automate

I, for one, think it's fantastic that we won't need the "little people" much longer!
