Abstract

A shower head for pets includes a shower head body having a water inlet channel, a first leather cup, a water dispensing plate located between the shower head body and the surface cover assembly, a surface cover assembly, and an adjusting device having driving and rotating mechanisms. A first water outlet communicating with the water inlet channel penetrates the first leather cup. Two sides of the water dispensing plate respectively cooperate with the shower head body and the surface cover assembly to enclose an installation cavity and a water outflow cavity. A first water passage hole communicating with the water outflow cavity penetrates the water dispensing plate. The surface cover assembly has multiple comb teeth. A second water passage hole penetrates the rotating mechanism, and the rotating mechanism abuts against the first leather cup and the water dispensing plate. The driving mechanism drives the rotating mechanism to rotate to adjust a water outflow area.
