Self-Serve Dog Wash

Located at our East Syracuse location.

Before coming in, brush your dog to remove loose fur, mats, and tangles.
We supply aprons for you, but you'll still get a little wet - so wear appropriate clothes.
Exercise your dog before coming in. A nice long walk or a good game of fetch will release some energy and make bathing easier.
Plan on spending about an hour for washing, drying, and brushing.
Have Fun!
We do ALL the clean up!

To ensure a CALM, CLEAN, FUN and SAFE environment for you and your pets, we ask that you follow these simple rules!

Dogs must be controlled by an adult at ALL times
Do not leave pets unattended
Children must be supervised at all times by an adult
Children 16yrs old and younger must be attended by and under the supervision of a parent or responsible adult
Don't forget to ask before petting a strangers dog
Keep a close eye on your pets while browsing the store – items damaged by chewing, leg lifting, etc. are considered an "instant purchase," and they will be added to your bill at check-out

For health and safety reasons, dogs must be current with their vaccinations such as: Rabies, DHLP, Parvo and Bordetella. If you are not a current daycare customer you will need to provide proof of shots for your first visit. If you chose to opt out of these vaccinations for your pet due to medical reasons, please let us know ahead of time and we will work with you.

Aggressive and/or disruptive dogs may be asked to leave at management's discretion
We are a Flea Free Zone! If your dog has fleas, might have fleas or you think they might have fleas, come see us before you bring in your friend. We want to make sure your dog gets the right treatment and quickly so he gets the relief he needs at the same time minimizing his contact with other pets!

We provide all the tools you need to make your dog "look and smell Great!"

Grab a waterproof apron and load your dog into the tub of your choice
Once the dog is loaded, safely hook the dog into the tub
Begin by removing excess hair using brushes and combs (We suggest brushing your dog prior to coming because it can be a lengthy process)
Now it's time for the water – Make sure the GREEN rinse button is pressed in on the nozzle – Be sure to test the temperature before wetting down the dog with warm water
Once the dog is wet, select the number (Either 1, 2, 3 or 4) that corresponds to the shampoo/conditioner you would like to use
Next press in the RED bathe button and the diluted shampoo will begin to flow – If you select a different shampoo/conditioner than the one used prior, make sure you flush out the hose until your selection is diluted through
Begin massaging the shampoo into the dog until you feel it's clean
Rinse the shampoo completely (Press in the GREEN rinse button)
You may now repeat the process with a conditioner
Once all shampoo and/or conditioner is rinsed, towel-dry as much as possible
You may now clean the dogs ears with the solution and cotton-balls we have supplied for you
At this point it is time to use the dryer! Don't worry, some dogs are not fond of the dryer and we will help you with this process if you like. The dryer is a forced-air, low-temp dryer that is safe for your pet
