Bath time for your dog can be a fun bonding activity for your family, especially if your pet enjoys soaking in warm water with lots of bubbles. Regardless of how your dog behaves in the tub, it can also be quite messy. Your dog may appreciate having a clean, fresh coat, but you’ll have to take care of the wet towels and splash-over from the tub.
It’s one reason why you’ll find many pet supply stores and grooming salons now offer self-service bathing for dog owners. For a nominal fee, you can bring your dog to a vacant station, give them a shampoo and rinse, and your bathroom remains dry.
Pet businesses may offer different amenities with their self-service baths. Care-A-Lot Pet Supply’s Diamond Springs location recently opened self-serve dog bathing to rave reviews; our Pet Wash includes the shampoo, water, air dryer, fresh towels, and an after-bath treat for your pet. We also provide smocks and goggles for everybody taking part.
Bringing your dog to a self-serve bathing station offers many benefits aside from the quality of your pet’s cleanliness:
It takes the pressure off your plumbing. Pet bathing stations are equipped to handle dog hair that gets washed away after a rinse. If clogged drains are a concern at home, it’s worth the cost to go to a store that offers self-serve.
It’s good to do in between grooming appointments. If you take your dog to a professional groomer, a trip to the self-serve baths helps maintain their overall good hygiene. A groomer with a self-serve option, like our Diamond Springs store, is ideal if all services offer the same quality products.
There’s somebody close by to help. You know your dog well, but some situations may require help. Just because the dog bath is self-service doesn’t necessarily mean you’re on your own. Experienced staff can answer questions about how the baths work and which shampoos are best for your dog.
If there isn’t yet a self-service pet bath facility where you live, you can still stock up on the best dog grooming supplies from the Care-A-Lot Pet Supply online store.
