A pet bathing product for the shampooing or bathing of pets, including
dogs and horses. The inventive device includes a distribution head that
is attached to a hose and an additive reservoir that allows for the
sudsing of the coat directly through the comb. The device has a handle
designed to fit easily in the hand while currying a pet. A fluid hose or
other fluid supply system is attached, either directly or through an
adaptor, to a fluid conduit which runs through the device and directs
fluid and/or additive to the curry head. A shutter is located between the
fluid conduit and the additive reservoir which can be turned on or off to
allow fluid to flow past the additive reservoir. When the shutter open
position is selected, the shutter allows additive to diffuse into the
stream of fluid. The additive/fluid mixture is applied to the pet through
the holes in the distribution head. When the shutter is turned to the off
position, fluid flows past it without additive being dispensed. In one
embodiment, the reservoir is split into a first additive chamber and a
second additive chamber which contain different additives. When the first
additive chamber is selected by turning the filter to the first position,
the fluid stream flows past the first additive chamber allowing the first
additive to diffuse into the stream of fluid. When the second additive
chamber is selected by turning the filter to the second position, the
fluid stream flows past the second additive chamber allowing the second
additive to diffuse into the stream of fluid. Massaging projections such
as curry comb teeth attach to the distribution plate to allow for direct
contact on the pet while sudsing and rinsing. There may be holes in the
tips of the massaging projections and/or on the face of the distribution
plate. The size of the massaging projections on the distribution plate
varies according to the user's needs.
