Rapid Bath Review
June 5th, 2009 by Paul Johnson
The Rapid Bath System is a dog bathing system that recently has been advertising on T.V (official site to purchase it is at RapidBathing.com ). Many dog owners find giving a dog bath a hassle. Older people and those with carpal tunnel or arthritis conditions, have an especially hard time washing their dog thoroughly. It can be tough on your hands and aggravate your carpal tunnel or arthritis. RapidBath does five important things over a traditional dog bath; it makes bathing your dog much more faster, more convenient, less messy, it does a much better job, and it is easier to do and doesn’t require any straining work from your hands.
Rapid Bath can be attached to your showerhead or to a hose and used outside. RapidBath uses a technology called HydroSurge, which is the same patented technology seen by products used by vets, professional groomers, and kennel operators. Although the RapidBath system requires you use their proprietary shampoos in order for it to work, Rapid Bath shampoos are a higher quality shampoo. Most mainstream commercial shampoos strip away natural oils of the skin causing flaking and drying of the skin and are missing many important shampoo ingredients.
One downside to the Rapid Bath shampoos is they don’t have flea and tick control ingredients because the shampoo is highly concentrated, so it would be a health hazard to have it concentrated. However, you can still wash your dog with RapidBath then apply a flea tick shampoo and wash it again. Rapid Bath has a choice of 5 different proprietary dog shampoo formulas, including one for hypo-allergenic and an oatmeal soothing shampoo to help with dry itchy skin.

I have had the rapid bath system since August and just in the last two days have had major problems! I’m about ready to call the company but if I’m just rinsing, the cartridge fills up, pops open the handle and explodes. I’m so frustrated because it is an expensive item. I only hope the company will do the right thing and replace or reimburse. Just my thoughts.
I considered getting the RapidBath, but thought the price was outrageous. I did my research and came across another product called the “PetJet”. Its made by a company called M2Pets, and it costs much less than the RapidBath, and in essence, does the same thing. The big difference is that you dont use any cartridges, you can use regular dog shampoo (just dilute it a bit). I ended up buying it, and I think its a good product. My dog hates it regardless, but he gets much cleaner than he did before, and its easier than a regular bath. My dog is shorthaired, so he doesn’t need regular grooming, just a bath to wash his stink off of him, and it does just that. I cant say how good it would be for long hair or that superthick dog hair like an Akita or Chow-Chow. My dog is a lab-mix (with the emphasis on lab), so its great for lab fur, that I can claim. Here’s the website for the product:
I have a serious medical condition so I cannot get on my knees and bathe my Pom manually, plus it takes forever. I was ecstatic with how easy this product is to use and how well it worked.
I have the RapidBath and wash my dog every weekend. I love having a clean pet in my home – especially after I clean and she’s clean. If you are having an issue with the unit – call customer service – they are super helpful. I called about the shampoos and they seemed to know a lot about the product.
Rapid bath is not a good system as it uses disposable shampoo cartridges, and you have to buy the shampoo from the company, rather than use your own. I use a very mild all natural dog shampoo that won’t irritate my dog’s skin.
I’ve saw RapidBath at Petsmart and considered buying it. But the price was too steep for me. The unit is mostly plastic and I just couldn’t see paying $50 for it. I just found the PetJet today at Petco for $20 and bought it. I have a 80lb Wiemer that can only fit in my tub. Unfortunately I discovered that PetJet’s faucet attachment is not compatible to the shower head connection?? only good for outside hose or indoor kitchen faucet. I’m sending my husband to plumbing supply tomorrow to look for a quick fix. But I think the PetJet maker need’s to address this issue if he intends to continue making money on this product. The worlds not filled with JUST little doggies Mr!!
I love Rapid Bath. I have a very large Golden and it is just impossible to bathe her in the winter months without the help of the Rapid Bath Bathing system. It is a bit expensive, but It’s nothing compared to one trip to the groomer. I am the owner of a website that features Pet health and natural products. I think I will make sure to feature Rapid Bath too!
Great review! I’ll visit your blog often. Please visit mine
I bought the rabid bath system soon after it came out. I paid almost 100.00 for it. Afer a few weeks it started giving me problems. It seems the shampoo cartridge fills with water and then the handle bursts open …shooting water and shampoo all over. I am so upset with the system, I am going to go to the company and complain. I could have bought a petjet for a fraction of the price.
