No, No, NO! *Sigh.* That seems to be a pretty standard human response to a canine's bad decision of hopping through a murky puddle. One minute you're trotting along, side by side, not letting a little rain get in the way of your W-A-L-K. The next minute, you're trying to devise a plan of action — where are your buckets, some older towels and your brush, etc. How do you clean mud off a dog? At All Paws Pet Wash, we've planned for that contingency so that you don't have to. Let's run you thr...

Your lack of gills doesn't stop you from swimming, and it certainly isn't going to stop your dog, either. Unfortunately, you can't take your dog with you if you go to a public pool. You can take them to a pool of their own kind, instead — and swim with them too! Dog pools and spas are especially beneficial to those without a place to take their dogs for good underwater exercise. Dog spas offer a place not only for dogs to get exercise and play, but also cater to dogs who need to use water as ...

People enjoy traveling with their dogs. If they don't choose to camp, your pet-friendly hotel is an option that will accommodate them and their furry companion. As a pet-friendly hotel owner, your business may already have many amenities for animals, like a dog park and food bowls. Another amenity you may also want to consider opening is a coin-operated dog wash at your hotel. This service would be hugely beneficial for your guests — and your income. Here are some reasons to install a self...

As the owner of an oil and lube shop, you probably notice that pets are a huge part of families and routines. When your customers drop their cars off for maintenance services, it's common to see four-legged friends along for the ride. Whether you have your own pet or not, there's no denying that adding a pet wash station to your business will be convenient for everyone involved. If your customers schedule an oil change, tire rotation or inspection, odds are, the drivers will wait in your seat...

Pet owners enjoy spending time with their dogs. Whenever possible, they'll try to bring their furry companions along on vacation. Camping is the perfect place for this because most outdoor activities are suitable for dogs. Because campgrounds can be a popular place for canines, you should consider having amenities for these furry friends. One of the services you may think about installing in your campground is a self-serve pet wash, which will benefit your income and provide dog owners with a...

In general, dogs need to be bathed once a month or so. While giving your dog a bath just 12 times per year may not seem like much of a burden, it can be. If you take your dog to a groomer, you’ll incur yet another ongoing expense to keep your pet clean. When you bathe your dog at home instead, you might be in for 12 very long days if your dog isn’t a fan of baths. One reason some dogs are reluctant at best to have a bath is the drying off process. Just like wetting your pet and shampooing the...

Your pet rescue does great work every day helping dogs, cats and other animals get adopted. However, it's often difficult to bring in revenue as a rescue, and you may rely on donations and other charitable gifts. If you're looking for a source of passive income, opening a pet wash at an animal shelter is a great way to continue promoting animal wellbeing and generate some more funds. (more…)

It’s funny how big dogs often think they’re lapdogs, isn’t it? While it might amuse you when your 90-pound lab/Newfoundland mix plops three-quarters of their weight in your lap, there is one thing that is unlikely to make you or your pet happy: bath time. Even water dogs like labs sometimes recoil at the thought of going out in the rain, and their reaction to the prospect of having a bath can be even more severe. When your large mutt isn’t a fan of baths, it can make you dread the bathing exp...
