| - Preface: Any place that will welcome me back with a smile & remembering my dog's name after he has pooped in their store is going to get a high rating from me.
Generally Einstein is the most relaxed, adorable dog you could meet, but he's not big on baths. Living in an apartment, I'm not exactly down with the long, sopping fur being shaken frantically all over the bathroom, the carpet, the etc etc etc. So we [read: I] decided it'd be a good idea to try Wag n Wash.
Let's be honest, this place is pretty adorable. There are fire hydrants out front - the moment I walked in, all spacey eyed and wondering how you went about this, I was greeted all friendly like by multiple people, who also fawned over Einie (he did not mind!) & cheerfully showed me the ropes.
They lead us past the store part, with the supplies & treats & really cute cookie bar area, to an enclosed section with all the raised tubs. They gave me a little sheet with the different bathing packages, prices & what they each came with & let me read it over - I decided to go with the middle one, which allowed me choose from a bunch of shampoos, get leave-in conditioner, and doggy cologne for just a couple bucks more - haha, seriously? doggy cologne? I thought that was pretty funny at first, but by the end, after I had spritzed it all over Einstein & realized he smelled better than I'd ever smelled him before, I was convinced!
I am about to get so wordy if I don't slow myself down, so let me try to sum up a little better than I have been.
Awesomeness:
*choices of everything! treats, washes, leashes, fire hydrants!
*such a nice staff, asking often if I needed/wanted any help - quick & cheerful cleaning of poo! on a different occasion, took 2 dogs in to get their nails clipped- clipper lady was so nice & professional! even with one heinously misbehaving dog!
*Waist (or higher, in my shorty case) high tubs! No more painful back b/c of your stupid low tub!
*Supplies you don't have at home that are more helpful than you imagined they'd be!: car wash lookin' dryer, plastic apron, suction-cupping collar deal so that your bath-hating dog doesn't jump out of the tub & go gleefully gallumphing around the enclosed area...
*totally cheap self-wash price. I think the mid-package was like $15, & I feel like I completely got my money's worth.
*Walls around tubs high enough to keep doggy comfortable - Einstein didn't even *notice* there was another dog in there with him!
Not as awesome?:
*My cowardly Whinestein was pretty freaked out by the dryer at first, but I didn't want to stick him in the car all sopping wet, so I had to go real slow with it.
*No grassy area - just asphalt & sidewalk. I guess I can understand, cleanliness issues if all the dogs are going/walking/sniffing in a little strip of grass out front!
At the end of the trip, after Einstein pooed in the store (I totally take responsibility for this for not making sure he'd gone before the bath), someone STILL offered Ein a free cookie! Man. Super cool.
