Škoda has unleashed a game-changing innovation for dog lovers: the Hound Hose, a clever new addition to its Simply Clever range. This ingenious accessory is set to transform post-walk routines for pet owners, delivering a fast and thorough paw wash before muddy pups hop back into the car. With the Hound Hose, both dogs and cars stay spotless, and adventures can continue without a care.
Available throughout Škoda’s line-up, the Hound Hose is neatly integrated into the driver’s door, ready to pamper mucky mutts and protect pristine interiors. Drawing water from a custom reservoir and equipped with a pressurised, pull-out hose, this accessory offers multiple spray settings tailored for every level of dirt and doggy mischief:
- Škoda Spritz – quick-wash function for lightly muddy escapades
- Matted in mud – mid setting for dogs that made the most of every puddle on the walk
- I love you, but you’re not getting in my brand-new Škoda when you are this muddy – the strongest setting to get the dirtiest of dogs perfectly pampered.
From light woodland strolls to full-on puddle sprints, each setting guarantees that even the most spirited four-legged explorers get their paws perfectly pristine before re-entering the car. Škoda’s attention to muddy details means every adventure ends on a clean note.
Luxury-loving dog owners aren’t left out: flagship L&K models treat furry friends to a heated hose and special shampoo for a spa-like scrub-down. Meanwhile, vRS drivers – and their high-energy hounds – benefit from a turbocharged pump delivering deep-cleaning power with Škoda’s signature speed.
Škoda’s Hound Hose promises to revolutionize life on the road for dog owners, ensuring every canine co-pilot enjoys a royal ride—without leaving a trace of mud behind. Say goodbye to grubby seats and paw-printed carpets: this accessory is a triumph for tidy travel.
Škoda’s commitment to canine comfort is nothing new. As a pioneer in dog-friendly design, the brand has scooped up a host of awards for its spacious and functional models—proving it’s the top dog for both pets and their people. Recent accolades include:

Pawla Fetchmore of Škoda UK captures the excitement: “Škoda is barking mad about dogs, and we know every owner—from chihuahua to Great Dane—has groaned at muddy paw prints in their pride and joy. With the Hound Hose, we’re putting both pets and their people first, making clever features even more essential for modern motorists.”
