SudsMate makes backyard baths quicker, cleaner and easier for both of you. This clever SudsMate sprayer connects to your garden hose, pulls Barkmere shampoo through the clear chamber and sends out a soft foaming spray over your dog. Turn the dial and you are back to fresh water for a quick rinse. Less bending over buckets, more time for pats and play. Every SudsMate now comes with an indoor bath tap adaptor so you can wash inside or out whenever you need. You can buy the washer on its own or bundle it with a 250 ml shampoo refill pouch to reduce plastic waste and keep bath days stocked.

Why dog parents love it

  • Two in one wash and rinse. Foam setting for shampoo, water setting for a clean finish.
  • Even shampoo coverage. Water mixes with shampoo in the chamber so every part of the coat is reached.
  • Comfort grip handle. Easy to hold when hands are wet and soapy, trigger lock for easy use.
  • Multiple spray patterns. Gentle shower for full body, focused stream for muddy paws and bellies.
  • Clear measuring chamber. Simple to see how much shampoo you are using each bath.
  • Indoor and outdoor ready. Use the garden hose outside or connect to the bath adaptor when washing inside.

Your dog gets a thorough wash with less fuss and you stay cleaner and drier.

Indoor bath tap adaptor included

  • Wash inside on cold or wet days. Attach the adaptor to a standard bath or laundry spout and move your SudsMate indoors.
  • Fits common taps. Designed for rounded tap spouts from 16 mm to 20 mm.
  • Easy grip tightener. The metal band and thumb tab allow secure tightening without tools.
  • Simple click connection. Once the adaptor is in place your hose connector clicks straight on.
  • Perfect for units and townhouses. Ideal when there is no outdoor tap or private yard.
  • The bath adapter is included as a complimentary add on with the SudsMate to enable indoor use in a bath or laundry sink. 

How it works

  • Connect the SudsMate to your garden hose at the base of the handle.
  • Unscrew the clear chamber and add your chosen Barkmere shampoo to the fill line then reattach.
  • Turn the dial to the foam setting so water flows through the chamber and carries shampoo to the spray head.
  • Select your preferred spray pattern at the nozzle.
  • When ready to rinse turn the dial back to water only.

Indoor setup guide

  • Choose a shorter garden hose for easier use in the bathroom or laundry.
  • Fit female hose connectors to each end so the hose clicks to both the SudsMate and the adaptor.
  • Place the adaptor over the rounded tap spout making sure the rubber ring sits flat.
  • Tighten the metal band with the thumb tab until secure.
  • Click the hose into place then turn the tap on and set the temperature before washing your dog.
  • Turn the tap off when finished and loosen the band before removing the adaptor.

How to use on your dog

  • Attach the sprayer set to water only and choose a gentle pattern.
  • Wet your dog from neck to tail avoiding eyes ears and nose.
  • Turn water off fill the chamber with Barkmere shampoo then switch to foam.
  • Turn water back on and move along the body letting the foaming spray reach the coat.
  • Switch back to water only for a full rinse.
  • Turn water off and empty any leftover shampoo from the chamber.

Good to know

  • Fits most standard garden hose fittings used in Australia.
  • Adaptor fits rounded bath spouts from 16 mm to 20 mm.
  • Best paired with Barkmere two in one shampoos or Hypo Shampoo.
  • Use softer patterns and lower pressure for puppies seniors and anxious dogs.
  • Also handy for rinsing outdoor beds washing the car or watering plants.

Care tips

  • Empty the chamber after each bath so shampoo does not sit inside.
  • Rinse the nozzle and dial in clean water if you have hard water.
  • Store in a shaded spot to protect the plastics from strong sun.
  • Check the washer at the hose connection if you notice any leaks.
  • After indoor use loosen the band on the adaptor so the rubber ring stays in good shape.

The bath adapter - Please refer to the adapter compatibility image to check suitability for your bath spout. If the adapter is not compatible with your bath spout, the SudsMate will continue to work perfectly outdoors when connected directly to a standard garden hose. As the adapter is a complimentary add on, refunds are not available based solely on adapter fit or compatibility. Bath tap adapter will be white or black in colour.

Make bath time smoother for both of you.
Add the SudsMate washer to your cart and choose the refill pouch bundle for a simple way to reduce plastic waste.

Tracking tips from us 🐾

We have been shipping orders across Australia for over 10 years using Australia Post exclusively. Here is the best tracking advice we can give you.

Always place your order using the same email address and mobile number that you have registered in the Australia Post app. When they match, your order will automatically appear inside the app the moment it is booked in — you will get SMS notifications, email updates, and live tracking all in one place without having to search for anything.

We also encourage all of our customers to add their mobile number at checkout. This is completely optional, but adding your mobile number means Australia Post can send you SMS tracking notifications directly — so you always know exactly where your order is without needing to check your email.

If you do not have the AusPost app yet, it is free to download and genuinely the easiest way to track any parcel across Australia. Download the AusPost app here.

Why did our rates change?

Our shipping rates were recently updated.

Like many small businesses across Australia, we've been impacted by significant fuel surcharge increases from Australia Post driven by the ongoing global fuel crisis. We held off for as long as we could, but unfortunately these costs are no longer something we're able to absorb.

We know nobody loves a price increase and we genuinely don't love passing one on. But we're committed to keeping Barkmere sustainable so we can keep doing what we love — making products your dog truly deserves.

Thank you for supporting a small Aussie business. It means the world to us. 🐾

AUSTRALIAN MADE & OWNED

From my kitchen to Barkmere.

Hi, I’m Fraser and this is Rosie, Norman’s official stunt double. Norman is fully retired now and currently parked under an air conditioner.

Back in 2015, I started a little brand called Bark Butter® after seeing my best mate struggle with skin irritations, hot spots and sore paws. As a chef for more than twenty years, I’ve always believed that nature holds the key to wellbeing, so I began mixing away in my own kitchen to find a better way.

After a few trials and a lot of testing on Norman, I created a simple blend that changed everything. His skin healed, his paws softened, and I finally had my happy, healthy bulldog back. Soon, friends were asking for the same balm for their dogs and before long, Bark Butter® was born.

So, why the change to Barkmere®?

We’ve been around for over 10 years now, and as our range grew to include shampoos, soaps and grooming gear, we noticed something interesting: many people naturally associated the name “Bark Butter®” with just one product, our original repair balm.

We realised it was time to give the business a name that represents everything we offer, not just the balm. That’s where Barkmere® comes in.

Barkmere® is now the name of the brand as a whole, representing our entire grooming range. The Bark Butter® name you know and love isn’t going anywhere, it lives on as the name of our hero product, the Bark Butter® Balm.

Barkmere® means pure and simple. It’s our way of celebrating a decade of natural dog care while keeping everything else exactly the same. Same team, same chef-created formulas, same trusted products, just with a fresh look that clears up the confusion and sets us up for the next chapter.

Thank you for supporting an Australian made, family-run business. Norman and I can’t wait for you and your dogs to enjoy what’s next.

Pure. Simple. Dog Grooming.
