Many builders have begun to understand that we spend a lot of time in our laundry rooms. Builders are designing laundry rooms to to be multi-functional spaces. These dog showers are becoming very popular and many home builders in the Austin area offer these as an upgrade. Not only the dog shower… but professionally installed pet doors and even food storage & pet beds built into your cabinetry. 

 

This picture below is a true Texas Ranch mud room in Lampassas, Texas. Muddy boots and muddy dog?  No problem.  Hang your gun, your hat and shower off your dog and boots.  

 

  

 
 

If you love your home, and have a good sized laundry room, this could be a remodeling project. If you already have a laundry sink you could consider replacing it with a small shower. This could always double for your messy laundry, kids dirty shoes and your fur baby.

 

Would you pay extra for a home with a doggie shower?  What would you like to see in your dream laundry room?

Very interesting concept - I love the picture of the cowboy hats all in a row, although they aren't dirty and banged up enough to be "real"!

I think I would like to have such a shower in a mudroom.

Good morning Ranee. It is about be responsive to real situations. Many of us who have pets would love this.

That is a good solution and I have yet to see that in any home here. But I do hear that my buyers use the showers and tubs for their pets.

Debbie Reynolds Austin is a very dog friendly city, so it makes sense the builders are catering to their lifestyle.

Sheila Anderson Yes, clients who have dogs are torn between building new and resale over these little conveniences in the new construction homes.  There are places you can groom your dog yourself.. kind of like a laundromat for dogs :)  This solution keeps that work at home!
