Mud Daddy - Portable Pet Washing Device - Any good or any other recommendations

[tonyshooter]

I desperately need a Mud Daddy or a similar device.

Please can I ask what any other members think of this item.

More importantly what alternatives are members using ( including a garden type weed killer pressure spay ).

 

Cheers,

12v camping shower run from car and a water receptacle with suitable size neck  We use a 25l and half fill with hot water before we set off, by the time you wash the dog it has cooled enough to not be icy on your hands

[oowee]

Just hose mine down with garden hose when i get back.  If I am at a farm i just use the dairy hose to get the green off him.

I’ve got one and to be fair it’s pretty good. 
 

I find what’s easiest is to give the dog a good wash down before all the mud and **** dries on. 
 

Also helps if you can stand the dog in a big tub whilst washing down as can reuse the hot water somewhat. 
 

Much better than spraying down with a cold hose pipe in mid winter. Fill the mud daddy with warm soapy water and give the dog a good scrub. 
 

My mate has hooked a hot water tap up outside mind and that’s even better again 🤣

As above …

Bringing the dog back from the marsh straight into the house doesn’t go down well.

Using this thing, with the dog in a baby bath outside he gets a lot cleaner. Initially I use the spray to get the worst off, then take the lid off to use the rest of the water to rinse.

 It needed a new seal this summer but a few pence off eBay and it was right again.

Most of the time my dog come off the marsh wet but reasonably clean and if he had gone over a dyke that have been drained and come back covered in mud then he know his routine is on the way home is to have a swim in the fleet dyke that have always got clean water in it and then cross a couple of grass fields before we get back to the motor .

Yes he do come back wet but my wife always see to him first as she say I am old enough to look after myself  , might be old enough , but as for looking after myself

I use one of these Karcher OC3;

OC 3 | Kärcher UK (kaercher.com)

Fill it with hot water when we leave home and its usually slightly warm when we need it.

gets all the mud off while it is still wet, Rough & Tumble dog coat and they are clean, dry and warm by the time we get home

I have one the O ring failed so had to repair it, I phone my Mrs when I am half way home and she fills it with warm water it does seem to work ok its better than hosing the dog down with really cold water. He then has a good rub down with a towel then I put his drying coat on for half an hour.

Similarly but in the boot room and on a stillage with a ramp, so kind to back as well

A portable washer would work, but not worth it in my opinion. Consider the space it will take up, water and drain hook ups. I use mostly paper towels, when I have actual cloth rags they get tossed when too dirty.

I've used a Sealey 12v jet washer now for 2 seasons. Fill up with cold tap water and pour in hot water from a thermos flask end of the shoot. Quick blast off and a rub down.
