$405 Pet Shower

Fido isn't a car, so why wash him in the driveway? Let a corner of a mudroom or garage go to the dogs and you'll enjoy the perks of centralized canine storage (and a cleaner pup, too).

A shelf mounted high on the wall keeps treats and shampoos at a comfortable height for the owner and out of paw reach. Stainless-steel shelving brackets ($7.50 each) are easy to clean and complement the shower fixture.
