These self-serve stations provide pet owners with a convenient location to bathe their furry friends without creating a mess in their homes. We stock coin-operated models that also accept bills, allowing customers to pay the way they want.

Our commitment to reliability and quality means that we ONLY stock stainless steel dog wash stations, tubs, and equipment packages. In the self-serve dog wash industry, stainless steel is the standard due to its long-lasting durability and resistance to rust, even under heavy use and constant moisture. This material is not only robust but also easy to clean, which is crucial for maintaining hygiene standards in a commercial dog wash setting. Additionally, using stainless steel equipment signals to your customers that you prioritize their pets' safety and health, lending credibility and professionalism to your business.

A clean, well-maintained dog wash sends a clear message: you care! Replacing worn parts not only protects pets but reassures owners that their four-legged friends will be safe when they use your equipment to clean them. If you need parts to replace something that is worn, damaged, or malfunctioning on your commercial dog wash station, we have everything you need! You can find shower heads, hoses, motors for the dryer and vacuum, plus so much more. Everything is designed for dog washes, so you can be confident these parts will function properly and will be safe for dogs and pets.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Are self-serve dog wash stations profitable?

Commercial dog wash stations can indeed be a profitable stream of additional revenue at car washes when done correctly. These stations offer a unique, convenient service to pet owners who are already customers at your wash, who may not want to create a mess at home or lack the equipment to wash their dogs at home. By charging a reasonable fee per use, car wash owners can earn a steady income stream, especially in high-traffic areas.

You can also add a vending machine to your dog wash area and stock it with products that cater to bathing dogs that customers will find useful, acting as another revenue stream. While we don't have a specific dog wash vending machine, we stock a plethora of machines compatible with products sold in dog washes.

How do you clean dog wash equipment?

Cleaning dog wash equipment regularly is essential to ensure a safe and hygienic environment for both pets and their owners. Start by removing large clumps of fur and debris. Then, use a non-toxic, pet-friendly detergent to clean the surfaces of the wash station. This will remove any dirt, fur, and debris. Rinsing the equipment thoroughly with water is crucial to remove any soap residue that might irritate sensitive skin. It's also important to clean and sanitize the equipment at the end of each day using a disinfectant that effectively kills bacteria and viruses. Remember to dry all surfaces to prevent mold and mildew from growing. It is also a good idea to schedule routine maintenance checks on all equipment components, such as hoses and dryer motors, to ensure they function properly and are safe for customers and their pets.

What is the best height for a dog wash station?

The ideal height for a dog wash station is generally 36 to 40 inches off the ground, which helps avoid strain for the person washing the dog. This height works well for small to medium-sized dogs and minimizes bending for your customer. For larger breeds, adding non-slip ramps or steps can make entry easier. The height should also accommodate proper plumbing for efficient drainage. Choosing the right height and adding features like ramps can improve the washing experience for both dogs and their owners.
