Hi Vani,
I think pet washer is a torture,mentally, just a thought of being in a closure for you to get wet and dried.
There is no bond between the owner and pet as this can be done through grooming and it is well suitable for lazy people. If they are busy, why get a pet?
Pet washers are not for living things. What if there is an electric glitch? Door's jammed? or worst?
Although pet wash is automatic but it is traumatic.

Pet treadmills are healthy.
I am using human treadmill as my daily exercise.
All my kitties seem to like it.
But I remain the speed just as enough for them to run/walk with their little hinds and safe for them to jump out once they get too tired.
I left it for them to play during shower.
Miwako, my BSH adopted cat, had a flabby excess skin.
She's always lying down rather than to play.
But because of this treadmill, she's more active and more toned muscles than before. Her saggy skin was lessened.
She enjoyed running/walking when I finish before even I slowed it down, she will jump on it first.
Sometimes 3 of them would and sometimes just 2 of my kitties.
Cats are more sensitive and they are prone to stress. Forcing is very anxiety for both human and cats. They have more rebellious personality by nature rather than dogs.
Hope this info helps you.
Best Regards,
Eve
