Who doesn’t love washing the dog? No seriously. All that water, soap suds, soaked undergarments. It’s just one big happy fun and frolic. But now those nasty spoilsports have come up with a real party pooper.

The Tubless Dog Bath is, as the name suggests, a bath for your dog which dispenses with the messy bits. So instead of immersion, we’re talking something more like a vacuum cleaner effect. Apparently it washes and rinses your pooch with minimal water, and can cope with beasts up to 80 lbs in weight. Which is presumably why they’re featuring Samson the Great Dane in the photo. If you want to take advantage of this beauty (not the dog, the washer) you’ll need to stump up $159.95. Bargain we say.
