Why You Should Bring Your Dog to Us…and Wash Them Yourself
Washing your dog at home is a joy. The sun is always shining, the weather’s always warm, and every dog has a magical way of shaking dry in slow motion while children-
Well, that’s the way it happens in commercials. In real life, things are messier, more chaotic, and far less satisfying—for you and your dog.
Professional dog grooming is an option, but not every dog needs a spa day. Some—like Bubba, a certain Plott Hound I know—usually just need a quick wash and dry now and again before heading back to explore the world nose-first. For the Bubbas of the world, and for any dog owner who prefers to handle things themselves, Central Bark’s comprehensive self-serve dog wash is the perfect choice. Here’s why.
Self-Wash Your Dog With Us Means No Clean-up!
That’s right. When you bring your dog in for a self-serve wash, we clean up the mess.
Picture your bathroom the last time you washed your dog in the tub. Now imagine walking away without having to mop, scrub, or run to the washing machine with an armful of towels.
The Right Tools for the Job
What’s good for human skin and hair can be problematic for dogs. Cut-rate dog shampoos can be even worse. Central Bark stocks a complete line of professional shampoos and conditioners that restore your dog’s coat to its full glory while supporting the health of his skin and fur.
Each cleaning station is fully equipped with purpose-built sprayers that make wetting, lathering, and rinsing easy. You’ll also get all the towels and professional brushes you need, and your dog will traipse up to the tub in comfort along our easy-to-walk ramps.
Bonding Time
When you’re not worried about soaking yourself or your subfloor, washing your dog can be a nice, calming experience for the both of you.
Most dogs don’t mind a bath—often enough, they’re mostly confused when they’re ushered into the humans’ bathtub or have the garden hose pointed at them. Our self-service stations are for one thing and one thing only, and we’ve found that dogs are far more relaxed when they know that the place is just for them. It’s a nice break from your routine, and another way to show your dog that you care. Trust us, we see it every day: they appreciate the gesture.
Add-On Grooming Services
If your dog needs a bit more than a wash, or if you just need a bit of advice, our grooming experts are here to help. Even if you weren’t aware of the need for anything beyond a wash and dry, we can clip your dog’s nails, brush his teeth, trim the hair between her pads, clean his ears, or express her glands.
With the right tools and the right setting, bathing your dog can be a whole lot more rewarding and less messy than you might imagine. Contact us today to learn how we can help.
