I have 2 English cream Golden retrievers, which are WHITE , so bath time comes often :) , the tub has saved my back more than I can say. My boys would not go up the stairs so we used the ramp we already have. I did change out the water sprayer with a new hand held head from lowes as my hands were not strong enough to hold the handle in while bathing them. You must hold it to get the water to come. I would definitely recommend this product for the money. ALB
