Dog Wash Sandgate

Dog Wash Sandgate is a self-service dog washing station run by the Pets of Sandgate pet shop, sitting in the back car park off Rainbow Street in the bayside suburb of Sandgate. It is built around a K9000 wash unit that handles the full sequence in one place: shampoo, rinse, flea and tick treatment, conditioner and a warm blow-dry. The setup is made for owners who would rather wash their own dog without the mess at home. Heated water takes the chill out of the job, a pool fence rings the wash bay so an excitable dog cannot bolt, and lighting means the bay works after dark as well as during the day. The station is open around the clock and the bay is cleaned daily, with TruBlu disinfectant on hand between washes. Owners can use the supplied products or bring their own shampoo when a pet needs something specific for sensitive skin or a particular coat. Access is straightforward, with a front entry on Loudon Street and back entry and parking on Rainbow Street. It suits dog owners after a quick, no-fuss wash on their own schedule rather than a booked grooming appointment.
