Škoda is expanding its Simply Clever range with an innovative new power washing system – Hound Hose. The new accessory is designed to clean the paws of dirty dogs before getting back in the car after long walks, keeping customers’ beloved canines and cars squeaky clean.
Škoda unveils Hound Hose accessory for cleaning mucky dogs
Available across the model range, the Hound Hose features a compact hose integrated into the driver’s door to pamper the paws of dirty doggies and preserve the cleanliness of both car and canine. Using a bespoke reservoir situated in the door and a pull-out pressurised hose, the Hound Hose features multiple spray settings:
› Škoda Spritz – quick-wash function for lightly muddy escapades
› Matted in mud – mid setting for dogs that made the most of every puddle on the walk
› I love you, but you’re not getting in my brand-new Škoda when you are this muddy – strongest setting to get the dirtiest of dogs perfectly pampered
Each of the three settings ensures that the muddiest of mischief making mutts are suitably cleaned after every walk – from woof and tumble times in puddles to long runs in the forest.
For customers with range-topping L&K models, a heating element and shampoo makes every hose-down an experience of pure pedigree elegance and luxury. For those with a vRS and the most dynamic doggies, a more powerful turbocharged water pump provides a deeper clean to freshen every fur follicle with the speed expected of a Škoda performance product.
The Škoda Hound Hose is set to revolutionise dog mobility, supplying an effective and thorough clean for every canine that regally rides in its owner’s Škoda. With the system, muddy pups will no longer leave seats looking ruff, and no carpets a-paw-lingly unclean.
As one of the first automotive brands to offer dog-specific accessories – Škoda remains committed to ensuring that it is the pick of the litter for dogs as well as humans. Many Škoda models have won dog-related awards for their design, functionality and space for dogs, including:
