Self-Wash Dog Bath Questions

  • Nope! Our dog wash is walk-in friendly during open hours.

  • Everything you need: shampoo, brushes, towels, dryers, aprons—and two full-size wash tubs. You just bring the dirty dog!


  • Yes! We offer an upgraded self-wash tub with a high-pressure hose attachment designed specifically for de-shedding. It’s ideal for dogs with double coats or seasonal blowouts.

    If it’s your first time using the system, we’ll walk you through a mini-lesson to help you get the most out of it—so you can blast that undercoat out like a pro.

We came in today to use the self service dog wash and it was super easy to use and while our dogs weren't happy about the built in blow dryer, all we had to do was bring in the dogs. The wash stations have the shampoo, conditioner and dryer built in so no lugging around all stuff needed to get the dogs cleaned.

Used the self-wash station for the first time. Loved the front access! Easier on my nervous blue heeler and easier on my old lady back. Easiest station I've used...and I've used a lot!

The shop has pretty much *everything* including unexpected chews like ostrich knuckle, sheep leg, rabbit's foot... My chihuahua has been in heaven with the variety.

They also carry a ton of great healthy treats and dog foods. Our dogs love the ostrich knuckles for chewing. They also have a great selection of training treats/toys to keep your dog occupied (or as we like to call it "not eating our shoes")
