What is a self-service dog wash?
A self-service dog wash provides professional-grade wash bays where you can bathe your dog yourself. They supply the tubs, warm water, shampoo, dryers, and grooming tools — you do the washing.
How much does a self-service dog wash cost?
Self-service dog wash bays in Australia typically cost $10-$25 per session, depending on the size of your dog and the facilities offered. Much cheaper than a professional groom.
What should I bring to a self-service dog wash?
Most facilities provide everything you need — shampoo, conditioner, towels, and dryers. You may want to bring your own treats, a brush, and a change of clothes in case you get wet!
Are self-service dog washes good for large dogs?
Yes! Self-service dog washes have elevated tubs that are much easier on your back than bathing a large dog at home. The professional dryers are also much more effective for thick coats.
