I haven't been able to use it as yet. I love the idea of it however. One thing that I am curious about....I usually only use soapless shampoos on my dogs and ones that are not harmful to their skin.....It says I can only use your shampoo. I don't know what is in it.

This sounds like a great idea for cleaning a dog, but...for my dog it doesn't work too well. The Pros: Portable. The Cons: VERY, VERY loud! The noise frightens my dog. Even with the pad put under machine, it's still way too loud! If you have a dog that will sit calmly through the bath that helps. My dog is too nervous with the loud noise, on top of having this hose thing put on him. I did clean him a bit, but not as well as I was hoping.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's great for their back,chest and neck but the legs and feet are almost impossible to clean with the Barkbath. It also makes a mess with water. If you just need to quickly make them smell better then it is great because you'll just be hitting the larger areas on your pet.

I really like this machine. I have 4 dogs, 2 are very large and it was always difficult to bathe them in the bathtub. The Barkbath is a bit noisy so I did have to get them used to the noise by following the Bissell video to introduce it to them. It's wonderful not to have the mess and water all over the place, I have already recommended it to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very disappointed in this product. I have 2 giant schnoodles, and was hoping this would save bath time after playing at the park -- with no luck. The product didn't do anything for my male who has more poodle like hair, and did minimal for the girl who has more schnauzer like hair. I will be looking into the return policy, as I only used it once and don't intend on using it again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far this thing is great. I was able to wash my 80lbs German Shepherd in the middle of my kitchen. She doesn't mind the noise but the water startled her at first. Might need a good hose down still once in a while but for washes on the go this will do.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a GSD and used "her" barkbath for the first time this weekend. Worked pretty good! She was soft and smelled good. This will work really well in the winter when it is too cold for outside bathing, and much drier. BUT, make sure you read all the directions first, will make operation much easier.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm very pleased with the barkbath. It really does a good job cleaning two very different dogs. It's a little loud, although I put the canister in a different room. One dog is a little shy, but he tolerated a good cleaning. The other dog loved the attention, and didn't mind getting a bath. It literally does keep you from getting water everywhere and it does a great job pulling the dirty water from the doggy fur.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product at a reasonable price. Bissell never disappoints. Have had the Bissell green machine over 5 years and it worked great. Figured the Barkbath would work great also. I was not disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is easy to use it. My Dog was very patient and calm ,waiting me to figure out, the few steps I had before I finished her bath and that happened on the first time, the second bath was easier . The shampoos are grade. They left her hair smelling clean , not the ugly smell that leaves a regular dog shampoo and her hair was sooo soft !! that machine and shampoos are worth the price . I tell for that and recommend to my friends . Thank you BISSELL for your products .
