Self-Wash
We give you everything you need to make your dog shine like a champion! Enjoy a hands-on experience with your pooch without any mess or drama at home. We even supply the kids with raincoats to enjoy the fun of washing the family canine! Our facility can accommodate dogs of all sizes with state of the art tubs and K-9 hair dryers.
Providing your dog a bath in your home means blocked drains, messy bathtubs, and a sore back.

Our Mutt Jackson Self-Wash Tub is elevated to accommodate pets as small as a Shih Tzu and as big as a Mastiff. No reservation needed - so just walk on in!
