Installing a dog shower

Does creating a dog shower in my utility need any special considerations? And should any plumber be capable of installing one?

"Yes it's very easy to do just get a local plumber to fit a tmv3 and set it at 38 so you won't scold the dog
It's a blending valve that you can set on different temperatures I have one at home on my outside tap. So I can clean my dog off all year round"

"yes, it requires a plumber because any mixer has hot water and cold water and they must be connected correctly"

"Hi Michael, I’m Paul from safe water services. Remain special considerations needed for installing a dog shower would be the necessary backflow prevention and also a temperature mixing valve this should be competent work for a qualified plumber to do"

"Nearby electrical wiring might have to be relocated, sockets should be more than 3mtrs from a shower, this is a bit of an oddity as it’s not for a human, however it would make good sense to keep electrics away from water !!"
