Very helpful

On 9/5/2025 Kayla Villa had this to say:
We love brining our 5 dogs in! We are able to get in and out in about an hour and love how easy everything is! We LOVE the smell of the dogs and how soft their fur is after using the oatmeal shampoo and conditioner!! We have to know what brand you use because the smell last a long time!!

On 11/1/2024 Marlene Tucker had this to say:
Great self serve dog wash. Wide variety of dog and cat products.

On 9/5/2024 Rachelle Hadlock had this to say:
Easy, convenient, though if using on a hot day, don't wait until evening! Once the sun hits that booth it heats up even with AC.

On 9/3/2024 Chris Young had this to say:
Really nice store with a pet wash outside. Definitely a favorite

FAQ

How Clean Is The Pet Wash?

The Pet Wash is cleaned and disinfected daily, usually at least twice! We ask patrons to use the last few seconds to spray the tub and wash area with the Tub Disinfectant. It keeps things nice for the next patron. We come in at least twice per day, sometimes more, and thoroughly clean, disinfect, and sanitize things. Should you ever come and find that our Pet Wash was left in an unsatisfactory state, please call us at (440) 549-0567. Leave a message if we don’t answer. If we need to make a special trip to clean the unit, we will.

Won't My Dog Escape From The Bath?

Worried about having your canine friend “escape” from the bath? No worries! In the tub, there is a tether with a leash-end. If your dog has a collar on that can get wet, you can hook your pet up to keep him/her in place. The length of the tether can be adjusted by feeding it through the loops near the front of the tub. Washing Fido on the floor? You can lock the doors from the inside, so you can effectively lock yourself in the Pet Wash, preventing a large dog from pushing the door open.

What About Floor Washing? And ADA Compliance?

The Pet Wash is ADA-Compliant, which means there is enough room for someone in a standard wheelchair to roll-in and turn completely around inside the unit, so there is a lot more floor space than you would think. The floor drains into the same hair-collection filters as the tub, so if your dog is extra-large or otherwise unable to climb into the tub, you are welcome to leave your pet on the floor and wash him/her there!

What About Older or Disabled Dogs?

The wash table is just below waist height, and slants down to about knee-high at the drain. There is a step at the end of the table to assist larger dogs in getting themselves into the tub!

What About Towels?

We don’t supply or sell towels. (At least not right now.) The Pet Wash has a “Vacuum” feature which will allow you to wet/dry vacuum away excess water and loose hair, as well as a “Blow Dryer” which will assist in drying the dog. Some folks still prefer to bring their own towel with them, and we certainly don’t have a problem with that.
