Designing the Pawfect Utility, a tail-wagging addition for your canine companion - dog showers designed to lessen the mess. 

Your utility room, often the unsung hero of home functionality, takes on a new dimension when you share your space with a four-legged friend. At Shere Kitchens, we celebrate the unique bond between homeowners and their beloved pets, and that's why we've honed in on a game-changing feature: bespoke dog showers designed to lessen the mess, seamlessly incorporated into your utility space.

Why Consider a Dog Shower in Your Utility or Boot Room?

Imagine a hassle-free return home after a woodland walk with your furry friend. A dedicated dog shower in your utility room is not just a convenience; it's a design innovation that caters to the specific needs of both pet owners and their canine companions.

Benefits of Incorporating a Dog Shower:

  1. Effortless Dog Grooming: Bid farewell to the challenges of dog washing. A strategically designed dog shower makes the process easy, comfortable, and enjoyable for both you and your pet.

  2. Mess Mitigation: After a muddy outdoor adventure, a designated dog shower acts as the first line of defence. Rinse and dry your dog's paws, keeping the mess at bay and ensuring your home remains a clean and tranquil haven.

Dog Showers Designed to Lessen the Mess: Tips for a Fuss-Free Utility Space

  1. Accessibility Options: Choose between a 'walk-in' ground-level dog shower or an elevated shower tray based on your dog's size and your preference. Tailor the design to allow independent access for your pets or opt for a more ergonomic solution for yourself.

  2. Temperature and Pressure Control: Prioritize your dog's comfort by incorporating features that allow you to adjust water temperature and pressure as needed.

  3. Material Matters: The choice of materials is crucial. For optimum durability and aesthetic cohesion, consider materials like Dekton. With its versatile properties, Dekton seamlessly merges indoor and outdoor spaces, offering a unified look for both the kitchen and utility areas. We used Dekton throughout this project, it looks beautiful and works brilliantly in both the kitchen and utility.

Additional Elements for a Well-Designed Utility Space:

  1. Storage Solutions: Streamline your pet care routine with integrated drawers and cupboards, ensuring towels, dog toys, food, and treats are neatly organized.

  2. Drainage Solutions: Tackle muddy water with efficient drainage, maintaining a spotless and hazard-free environment.

  3. Dedicated Sink: Enhance functionality by including a separate sink for handwashing and pre-washing items like dog coats and muddy clothes.

Crafted in collaboration with homeowners, our dog shower inclusive utility rooms exemplify Shere Kitchens' commitment to bespoke design. Designed at our workshop in Shere, near Guildford, Surrey, these spaces are a testament to our dedication to creating functional, stylish, and pet-friendly environments.
