      We use those. They're not expensive, and with free shampoo it's barely more expensive than washing at home. At least for a Malamute with so much hair. Way easier than the hose in the back yard.

      Education is extremely important.

        Just took ours on Sunday to the local laundromutt just like that. Go there at least once or twice a year. He loves it and you have no mess at home to clean up afterward. In wintertime it’s the way go.

          I've used one before, but I also had hot and cold water run to an outdoor faucet so I could bathe the dogs. This of course is on no value for the cats.

          Would I do it as a business? Probably not. the buildout would be costly and there's a limit to how much you could make. You'd be better off to start a grooming shop. Much higher ring.

            I'd do it if we had one nearby. We have to take ours to be washed by somebody else as we don't have an easily useable bath.

            I was only joking

              We have a downstairs full bath that we can use, but I think having all the supplies at hand, specifically suited for dogs? Yeah, we will try it this week…

                garden hose, bucket, old towel, maybe once every 6 months. vizslas self groom constantly, have no wet dog hair smell, dry in ten minutes

                its really low maintenance on the grooming side. on the other hand, lots of exercise.

                  Same low maintenance for Ridgebacks. Too bad the winters here are too hard on the breed.

                    We use the utility sink in the basement. A garden hose adapter for the faucet to a trigger hose sprayer with different spray patterns. Make mixing the hot and cold water easy.

                    Used to use, and still have a dedicated bath tub on legs. Even have the stairs option for it but we never used them Cosmo just wanted nothing to do with a bath and refused to walk up the stairs.
