" ... Not a great product if you have a dog with long hair. ... "
" ... doesn't work well for any of their hair types . ... "
" ... It might be okay for a very short haired animal . ... "
" ... This will only work on pets with very short hair (Boxer, Pitt etc.) ... "
" ... The wand head does an okay job on the body but I was not able to use it on the legs and feet because of its flat design. ... "

" ... My dogs are a little scared of the noise but not half as bad as trying to give them a bath in my bathroom! ... "
" ... From there, the noise was bearable, but the actual process of washing didn't quite wow me . ... "
" ... The noise is pretty loud. ... "
" ... I know most dogs do not like the vacuum noise. ... "
" ... All 3 dogs were afraid of the noise/vibrations from it and absolutely hated getting a bath this way. ... "
" ... The only bad thing is the amount of noise that produces. ... "
" ... So if you have dogs that do not like loud noises, do not get this product. ... "

" ... I read some of the reviews saying it works perfect with all types of dogs, like German Shepherds, Labs, short hair, long hair, etc. ... One German Shepherd, one husky puppy, and one lab/Australian kelpy mix(short hair). ... it was helpful with the husky and it took like 5 minutes to get her completely dry. ... "
" ... I think the more you use it the dryer things will be, but my dog is way less wet/damp than the traditional shower method. ... "
" ... After the bath, drying time is much faster due to the cleaning process. ... "
" ... I wouldn't want to stand in dirty water and though he probably didn't care since he had all that funk in his hair anyway and probably worked hard to accumulate it like that, it mattered to me. ... "
" ... I popped her into her kennel and she dried relatively quick. ... "
" ... We typically have to blow dry him after a bath which is such a pain and time consuming (he otherwise runs and finds a rug or furniture to 'dry' himself with). ... With the bark bath he was nearly dry AND happy. ... "
" ... Dog was definitely drier due to the suctioning feature. ... "
" ... It's also nice to be able to do just a quick wash down if only legs/paws need it instead of having to give them a full bath. ... "

" ... I am paralyzed from the waist down and have two BK amputations and so I do pretty much everything from my WC! ... I have to separate the two while I bathe them, as Rolex keeps trying to pull Bulova out of the way, because he wants to do it again! ... "
