BISSELL launches BarkBath, the company's first dog-washing system

New product comes to Canada, bathing pets faster and easier with virtually no mess

TORONTO, Sept. 25, 2017 /CNW/ - Today BISSELL has taken its commitment to a cleaner, happier home one step further by bringing its revolutionary BarkBath to Canada. As over 7.6 million Canadians know, bathing the family dog is, historically, a chore that takes up valuable time, makes a mess, uses several tools and requires plenty of patience.

In contrast, the BarkBath allows pet parents to give their furry friends a deep clean while leaving them virtually dry, all with minimal mess. Used with a no-rinse shampoo, the BarkBath's nozzle was designed specifically to get beneath fur and down to the skin—the true source of pet odor. This allows the water and shampoo to wash the skin clean while a soft suction simultaneously pulls dirt and water into a separate tank, isolating the post-bath filth.

"At BISSELL our products are designed by Pet Parents, for Pet Parents" said Craig Emmerson, Vice President and General Manager at Bissell Canada. "BISSELL is a family-focused company and pets are most definitely part of our DNA. Over 70 per cent of our associates are proud pet parents, and over 70 per cent of those fur children have been rescued. It's this authenticity that differentiates BISSELL. This truly is personal for us."

The all-in-one system can be used anywhere in the home, works with any length of fur, and requires less than 48 ounces of water to clean a pup up to 80 pounds, while a traditional tub would use up to 19 gallons of water. BarkBath can be purchased as a standalone system or as an attachment to any of the BISSELL portable deep cleaners. The system comes with a special no-rinse shampoo, a microfiber drying towel for the snout and paws, a mat for the system, and a storage bag to give pets a full grooming experience at home.

BISSELL has been involved in a variety of pet-related initiatives for years, notably including its own non-profit BISSELL Pet Foundation, which advocates for lost, abused, neglected, and abandoned animals.
