Škoda is expanding its Simply Clever range with an innovative new accessory, the Hound Hose, a practical power washing system designed to clean muddy paws before dogs hop back into the car. Available across the Škoda model range, the Hound Hose features a compact, pull-out hose integrated into the driver’s door. Designed with pet owners in mind, the system allows drivers to quickly rinse off dirt and mud after walks, helping to keep both car interiors and four-legged passengers clean.
The system uses a dedicated water reservoir housed within the door and delivers a pressurised spray through a retractable hose. Multiple spray settings are available to suit different levels of post-walk mess:
Škoda Spritz offers a quick rinse for lightly muddy paws. Matted in Mud provides a deeper clean for dogs that have made full use of puddles and trails. The strongest setting delivers a powerful wash for particularly muddy adventures, ensuring even the dirtiest dogs are ready to travel comfortably. Each setting is designed to provide an effective clean, whether after a short stroll or a more adventurous outing in forests, parks or along coastal trails.
For customers opting for range-topping Laurin & Klement models, the system includes a heating element and integrated shampoo function, adding an extra level of comfort and care. Meanwhile, performance-focused vRS models benefit from an enhanced water pump, delivering a more powerful clean in keeping with the dynamic character of the range.
The Hound Hose reflects Škoda’s continued focus on practical innovation, offering a simple and effective solution for dog owners who want to maintain a clean interior without compromising on lifestyle. As one of the first automotive brands to introduce dog-friendly accessories, Škoda continues to build on its reputation for thoughtful design. Many models in the range have been recognised for their practicality, space and suitability for pet owners, reinforcing Škoda’s position as a brand that caters to both drivers and their canine companions.
