At the end of a hard day's work, especially in summer, what we need most is a refreshing shower and, if followed by a hydro-massage after that, all the better. You just enter the shower cabin, hundreds of jets of warm water, cold if you wish, will come gushing down like rain while you watch, comfortably and relaxed, through a huge glass widow. I am talking about El Lavakan of Aste, the dog/cat automatic wash installed for pets and mascots. For their owners too of course to save them the work. Just like a car wash, after the 2 minute soapy wash, 40 seconds of rinsing, warm air will gently and repeatedly blow on your pet and dry him in 25 seconds. Done. Fresh and clean pet and happy you.
Business man Eduard Segura of Valls in Spain is the inventor, backed by his family firm with more than 2 decades experience of industrial machinery. Even though as way back as 1950, some company had patented machines with similar idea but had somehow become obsolete. He started to work on this machine 1999, consulted veterinarians and dog hairdressers, also studied old and obsolete machines so as to make sure his machine won't fail. He even enter the cabin and took a shower and came out with the verdict that it was 'very pleasant'. I guess owners of pets do have to at least go in with the pet to show him it's okay and safe, no?
Over the years, new technology has been incorporated, taking into consideration of the type of dog, their size and the pelage. They have sold 170 machines, for the moment, under petition, although in future they would be produced in series. Each costs 19,000€. Clients are mostly veterinaries and dog beauty saloons. And, the Spanish royal family! Queen Sofia has bought one for the many mascots of the Zarzuela Palace.
I am just thinking, it could be modified for people's showers too, then you can just sit or lay there with no work whatsoever, but I would insist on the hydro-massage as well.
