We’re planning to get a lab towards Autumn this year. Before then we’re having some work done to the house, part of this is redoing our downstairs loo. I want to extend this and make a full utility room and so we have a separate entrance to come into the house at the back that isn’t directly into the kitchen. I considered adding a dog bath but a Labrador is going to be too big for me to lift in and out and I know an older dog may struggle with steps when they get to that age. I’m thinking do we put in a shower (wet room with glass panel style) and then potentially humans can use this too or would count as another bathroom further down the line when we sell this house.
From friends with labs they seem to just wash them at home rather than take to a groomers but happy to be corrected on this.
