When You Need It
When do you need Self-Service Dog Wash?
If any of this sounds familiar, it's time.
Some dogs need a bath on a schedule, others announce it the moment they walk in the door. If any of these sound familiar, our tubs are ready.
- 01
The muddy trail victory lap
Gallup Park, the Arb, the dog park. Ann Arbor dogs play hard, and the evidence ends up in their coat. Swing by on the way home and drop the mud here instead of your hallway.
- 02
Your bathroom has suffered enough
Home dog baths mean soaked floors, hair in the drain, and a wet dog sprinting through the house. Our tubs, towels, and dryers keep all of that out of your home.
- 03
Your dog is wary of strangers
Some dogs are just not comfortable being handled by someone new. Here you do the washing yourself, so your dog stays with the person they trust most.
- 04
Between grooming appointments
A quick self-service bath keeps the coat fresh between professional grooms, and regulars tell us it stretches the time between full appointments.
- 05
The big dog problem
Lifting a 90 lb dog into a home tub is nobody's favorite chore. Our waist-high tubs are built for all sizes, over 100 lbs included.
- 06
You want to learn to groom
Rent a grooming table, borrow our tools, and ask us anything. We love helping dog parents learn to keep their own dogs looking sharp.

Self-Service Dog Wash Reviews
What customers say about Self-Service Dog Wash.
EJ Emily Judge
Self-Service Dog Wash
“Absolutely the best self grooming experience ever. Quick, inexpensive, all you need to bring with you is your dog. 10/10 even when you bring the worlds hairiest dog.”
BF Betsy Finn
Self-Service Dog Wash
“I have been here twice. Both times were great. I opted for self service. Doggie shampoo, conditioner, and no-tears face wash were all provided, as well as ear cleaner....cotton balls, towels, etc. After a nice warm shower in the doggie bathtub, it's over to the drying station, with a lovely high powered blow dryer (with heat) for sigs. I spent 30-45 minutes here washing and grooming my 90lb lab. The best part? The hair doesn't go down my drain at home. Staff is great. Helpful to first time visitors too.”
MS Mark S
