I need to soak my dog's feet in epsom salt, so I'll only want a few inches of water in the bath. Will this work?

Yes, I think so. It is definitely a small dog pool though. I have an Eskie miniature and she loves it. I only put a few inches of water in the pool for her to play in.

When I use it, I just plug the laundry sink, run the water, and squirt some in so while it's filling it's sudsy. I try to keep my pug in there for about 10 min since that seems to be the standard for medicated shampoos. I"ll suds him up with more betadine directly or medicated shampoo, let it sit on him and do his teeth, his ears, and then squirt his paws directly and wipe them down while they're soaking in the diluted tub and then rinse. No official time.....just convenience on my part and trying to get some benefit out of it. I use the 10 min mark as guidelines and then do what works for the moment and adjust accordingly.

Yes, this unit will reach low enough to wash the dog, assuming you have a normal shower head height.

Eat the salt, it's so good! It's a bit expensive to bathe in it, but you can if you want. I used to bathe with Epsom salts, but now I bathe with the H202, it's better!

Yes, it works, but depending on the size of the dog. We have a Bichon, so it's 5 to 7 minutes after a bath. He weighs 10 lbs.

plain old table salt works fine. 1-2 teaspoons is sufficient in a small footbath. More makes the machine beep a warning that the AMPs are too high. Salt mixes nicely with warm water.

The directions say not to add anything to the water; addiyives may clog orifices where water bubbles come from. However, I have used white vinegar, peroxide, well dissolved epsom salts--not at same time--and works fine. I think anything that may build up residue as oils or gels might clog openings. I still love this footbath over the other two I had previously purchased.

Yes, it would work fine fir that. I'm assuming you have a large dog and a normal place mat wouldn't work. My fog is only 10 lbs but even if he pees on the edge, the urine is soaked up immediately. I too have new floors and was concerned. I'd go for it. Plus, they wash up beautifully.

Not much. I have 3 dogs and only a small amount lathers up very well for us. We do have soft water, though. If you have hard water, that might make a difference.

Why not use nature's miracle on the grout or white vinegar.( I have a dog and that's what I did when she was a puppy) I don't know if the steamer would help.

My dog is never to excited about bath time. So I just lathered and took my time. My guess would be 5 minutes. Then I would rinse real good.

I don't have it handy as it is at a summer house, but my recollection is that it would probably would be wide, long and deep enough. It might be more of practical cowboy bath than a luxury soak.

Yes, it does. I soak my feet in epsom salt and then use a pumice stone, and then the microplane. It also works on dry feet (really well). Love this thing.

That's a tough one, I put a slightly smaller bath mat under mine. That seems to help. You can also try a little Vicks pups don't like the smell of it. Hope it helps.

Anything that will suds-up should be avoided... it would cause the foam to overflow like a scene out of a comedy! Bath salts, however, seem to work well. So, I judge what a product does when I add it to running bath water, if it suds up, I avoid it, if it dissolves with very little foaming, I use it. (Johnson's Foot Soap will foam up like a geyser in Yellowstone!)
