4-in-1 Dog Wash Shampoo Brush

Dad

Okay, I bought this. You were there when I opened the box. What did you think?

Boldo

I thought you'd bought me a weird new tug toy. Then you squeezed it and nothing squeaked. Disappointing start. Also it has a hole for your hand, which is creepy.

Dad

Let's talk about the smell. I know that's your main thing.

Boldo

The brush itself has that faint rubbery new-car smell, but the shampoo part? That green goo you squeezed into the handle? Actually not bad. Like artificial lemons and something grassy. I didn't hate it. I inhaled it. ... Can I have a treat now?

Dad

You've had some time with it now. Is it any good?

Boldo

It's not terrible. The silicone nubs feel like a massage, which I tolerate. But you keep saying 'good boy' and dumping warm water on me, so the brush doesn't make bath time fun—it just makes it less awful. Hey, is that a squirrel? I think I heard a squirrel.

Dad

I paid fifteen dollars for this. Be honest. Worth it?

Boldo

Fifteen dollars? That's like three bags of treats. For that price, I'd rather have the treats. But if you're stuck on bathing me, this thing does get the mud out without you using your fingernails. So... fine. I'll allow it.

Dad

Final answer. Would you recommend this to other dogs?

Boldo

Only if your human is already determined to wash you. It won't make you love baths, but it will make your human feel clever. I recommend it for humans who need help. Not for dogs who are happy clean.
