About McKinnon DIY Dog Wash
McKinnon DIY Dog Wash is a self-service wash bay in McKinnon, in Glen Eira, rather than a staffed salon — owners wash their own dog in a coin- and card-operated tub. Reviewers who have worked their way around Melbourne's DIY setups rate this one at the top: an indoor room that stays dry when the weather turns, strong water pressure, air conditioning, and a separate area so a second dog can be handled in the same visit.
The small touches are what customers keep listing. Aprons, towels and dog treats are provided free, there are hats on hand for photos, and a mirror is positioned so the back of the dog is visible while washing. It is described as noticeably cleaner and cheaper than the tubs attached to pet shops, and rarely busy outside the warmer beach months. Payment happens at the machine in timed blocks, so it suits organised owners who are comfortable bathing their own dog and want to be in and out quickly.
