Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pet bathing technology, and in particular to a fully automatic pet bathing machine. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, more and more people are keeping pets. In order to protect the health of both people and pets, regular cleaning and bathing of pets is necessary during the pet-keeping process.
[0003] Currently, pet bathing, including cats and dogs, is primarily done manually. During manual bathing, dogs can only be secured by leashing them by the neck, but this method is prone to pets breaking free or biting; tap water pressure sprays cannot penetrate the fur roots and the entire body; rubbing the fur by hand cannot reach all areas; completely rinsing off shampoo with a showerhead is impossible; using a handheld dog dryer (single-head) to blow-dry individual areas takes a very long time; and using the dryer on a heated setting can burn fur or skin. Furthermore, the bathing process can lead to water entering the dog's ears or nostrils, causing otitis media and pneumonia. The air pollution in the bathhouse is also very severe (dog hair everywhere). Because the bathing process is very labor-intensive and time-consuming (approximately 1.5-2.2 hours), the cost is relatively high (100-220 yuan per dog).
