Dog Washing Machines

The Dog-o-Matic Washes Mutts So Owners Don't Have To

— May 19, 2009 — Lifestyle
Convenience is king. There is nothing more inconvenient than hauling your mutt to a groomer to get a bath or worse, doing it at home. It takes time, money and patience to get your pup looking dapper. Romain Jarry has created the Dog-o-Matic to solve these woes.

A French reporter tested it with her pooch and said after a little nervousness, the dog settled in and didn’t freak out. The door can be opened anytime during the cycle and it takes about 30 minutes to wash, dry and primp your pet pooch.

Owner Romain Jarry says, "It is very rare that a dog is agitated or panicky during the wash, and in any case the door can be opened at any point during the wash to let the dog out in the case of panic."

1. Automated Pet Grooming - The creation of automated machines like Dog-o-matic is a disruptive innovation opportunity to redefine pet grooming industry for busy pet owners.

3. Iot and Tech Industry - Incorporating IoT technology in automated pet grooming machines will disrupt the traditional pet grooming industry by providing remote operation and monitoring of pet grooming, leading to innovative opportunities in the tech industry.
