Frequently Asked Questions
Is professional plumbing required for installation?
While basic plumbing knowledge is helpful, the DWVO Professional Dog Bathing Station comes with standard connections that most homeowners can install. If you’re comfortable connecting a washing machine or dishwasher, you should be able to install this unit. For permanent installations, consulting with a plumber is recommended.
Can this bathing station be used for cats or other pets?
Yes, while designed primarily for dogs, the DWVO bathing station works well for cats and other medium to large pets. The adjustable floor grate can be positioned higher for smaller animals. The secure leash attachment point is particularly useful for cats who may try to escape during bathing.
How difficult is the assembly process?
Assembly is straightforward but does require two people due to the weight of the components. The unit ships in two packages with clear instructions. Most customers report completing assembly in 1-2 hours with basic tools.
Can the bathing station be used outdoors?
The 304 stainless steel construction is weather-resistant and can be used in covered outdoor areas. However, for maximum longevity, we recommend indoor installation or placement in a fully protected area if used outdoors.
What’s the difference between the stairs and ramp models?
The stairs model provides a more compact entry solution, while the ramp offers easier access for older dogs or those with mobility issues. The ramp model also includes additional storage drawers. Both provide secure entry and exit for your pet.
