Anyone with dogs totally know that they get hair everywhere. When you are about to give your dog a bath or shower, all the pet hair would normally go down the drain, which is causing slowdowns and clogs within your pipes.

Protect your Bath Drain is most important.

When you are about to give your dog a bath make sure you try and brush your dog before the bath to remove all the matts and knots or debris that may be collected on your dog. You can try a hair catcher drain cover, however some dog have hair that is very fine or short and it will still get through the drain. Legacy’s favourite tip is the baby method for dog baths.

The Baby Wipe Method

Before you fill up the bath tub to give your dog a bath, place a baby wipe over the drain and place the plug over the wipe as this will act as a filter. Wash your dog as you normally would. When it is time to drain the water, hold the baby wipe flat as you pull the plug. The wipe will act as a filter and it shall collect any remaining hair from the bathwater as it drains. Throw away the wipe when you are done. Clean the rest of the tub with another wipe so that there is no hair going down the drain as you rinse the tub.

It is possible to bathe your dog and keep the clogged drains from happening. If you still have a clogged drain or other plumbing problems please contact Legacy Mechanical Services today and our experts can help you with your plumbing needs.
