Why Set Up an Outdoor Dog Bath Station
There are many reasons why bathing your dog outdoors makes sense in the summer:
- Less mess inside your house or bathroom
- More room to move especially for large or energetic dogs
- Warmer temperatures make outdoor baths more comfortable
- Better drainage avoids flooding your tub or floor
- Outdoor grooming helps with deshedding and skin relief
Plus, your dog will enjoy the fresh air and freedom during bath time.
Where to Build Your Backyard Dog Bathing Area
Choosing the right location is the first step in building your setup.
- Look for level ground to prevent slipping
- Choose a shady area to avoid overheating your dog
- Set up near a water source like a garden hose
- Ensure there is good drainage so water runs away from the house
- Avoid muddy or grassy areas that will undo your grooming work
A patio, deck, or corner of the yard with a hose connection is ideal.
