"Fairly straight forward same as putting a garden tap on providing the hot feed is nearby."

"Hi, I have fitted a gtap for just that recentley, You may want to bare in mind that a hot tap may be too hot for the dog.
I installed a blending valve, this mixes the hot and cold together so you can set a specific temp. As far as labour goes as the previous comment mentioned, it depends on location of the supplies to the tap. roughly an hr to an hr and a half plus parts."

"All depends on location of (h/c) and placement from where you would like the shower to be placed, if its close and easily accessible, it will be a fairly straight forward job."

"Hi Sally definitely possibly, if you already have a cold tap outside then a hot one could be put next to it. If you don’t have a cold tap outside then as one of my colleagues mentioned a blending valve may be required so the water is not to hot for your dog.
As for cost I would estimate between £85.00 and £135.00."

"As long as there is a hot feed close to where you want the installation, it is a fairly simple process. As you are wanting to use it to wash your dog I would recommend either a blending valve to control the water temperature or a cold tap as well for the same purpose."
