“The self wash comes with shampoo, conditioner, 2 types of brushes, ear cleaner, face cleaner, dog cologne/perfume, towels and a blow dryer! Very much worth the prices that they charge here. The best part of it all is how clean it is here! our Bruno boy loved it here! We will be regulars here for sure.”
“They always take great care of my Ivy! … Everyone seems really nice and especially to my Ivy and they always seem so excited when they see her. They also have DIY bath tubs and also the grooming area is glass so you can view your pup getting groomed as well. The groomer has done an awesome job everytime and knows exactly what I want.”
