DIY Dog Wash Tips from Our Pros
Get the best results from your self-service dog wash with these expert tips from our professional groomers!
🚿
Pre-Rinse Thoroughly
Wet your dog's coat completely before applying shampoo. This helps the shampoo lather better and distribute evenly throughout the coat.
🧴
Choose the Right Shampoo
Not sure which formula to use? Ask our staff! We can recommend the best option for your dog's coat type and any skin issues.
✋
Massage, Don't Scrub
Use gentle massage motions when shampooing. This is more comfortable for your dog and better for their skin and coat.
💧
Rinse, Rinse, Rinse!
Leftover shampoo can irritate skin and make the coat look dull. Rinse until the water runs completely clear—this is super important!
🌬️
Towel Dry First
Remove as much water as possible with towels before using the dryer. This speeds up drying time significantly!
💨
Use the Dryer Properly
Keep the dryer moving and at a comfortable distance. Start on a lower setting if your dog is nervous about the sound.
🪮
Brush While Drying
For longhaired breeds, brush while you dry to prevent tangles and mats from forming. This is the secret to a fluffy, beautiful coat!
🦴
Bring Treats!
Positive reinforcement makes bath time enjoyable. Reward your pup throughout the process to create happy associations!
👂
Protect the Ears
Keep water out of your dog's ears. Ask our staff for cotton balls to use as gentle ear protection during the bath.
⏰
Allow Enough Time
Plan for 30-45 minutes for a thorough wash and dry. Longer for large or thick-coated breeds. Remember: Self-serve must start 20 min before closing!
