The problem is the rim, not the bath
A wet Labrador is roughly thirty kilos of moving weight, lifted at arm's length over a slippery edge, usually while bending forward. People manage it for years and then one day their back does not.
The door removes that movement. The dog steps in, the door closes and seals, the bath fills as normal. When you are done, the water drains before the door opens, exactly as it does for a person.
Worth knowing before you ask
It is the same product
Not a pet version, not a cheaper build. The door is the one we fit for mobility customers, tested to 20,000 cycles by TÜV SÜD.
Claws and the seal
The seal sits in the frame rather than on the step surface, which is the part paws land on. We have not had a claw-related seal failure reported.
Your bath still works
It is a normal bath with a door in it. Nothing about family use changes.
Fitted in a day
One engineer, roughly six hours, and the bathroom is cleaned before they leave.
No VAT relief here
0% VAT relief applies to disability need, not to dogs. We are not going to pretend otherwise.
Pay afterwards
Card or Klarna, once it is in and tested.
Questions dog owners ask
Do a dog's claws damage the seal?
The seal sits in the frame rather than on the step surface, which is the part paws land on, so claws are not scraping across it. We have not had a claw-related seal failure reported, and the seal is the same one tested to 20,000 cycles for our mobility customers.
Can the rest of the household still use the bath normally?
Yes. It is a normal bath with a door built into the side, and nothing about family use changes. Anyone can run a bath and get in over the door threshold as they always have.
Does the 0% VAT relief apply if the door is for a dog?
No. VAT relief is tied to a person's chronic illness or disability, not to a pet, so a dog does not qualify a household for the 0% rate. If someone in the home does have a qualifying condition, that relief still applies to the door itself regardless of why you first asked about it.
How long does fitting take?
One engineer, roughly six hours, in a single visit. The bathroom is cleaned before they leave and the bath is usable again the same day.
Got an old dog and a bad back?
Four details and we call you back within one working day. No pushy visit, and you pay only after the work is done.
