We love Wag N Wash and so does our monstah, Rally! He's always so excited to go in, even if his feet skid around on the tile like it was an ice rink. The prices are average or slightly below similar smaller pet food shops and the people who work there are always helpful. Their selection of toys is great. The food tends to be on the hippier side of things so don't go in there looking for crappy PetCo stuff.
As far as the washing area goes, I love the concept and it always works well. A raised steel tub with all of the accessories you could need. Saves your back and keeps your semi-dry. When he's not trying to eat the water from the spray, Rally really enjoys the tub area. They also have a drying station but it is a bit loud for our pup.
