Have you ever struggled with a muddy dog at the end of a walk? Do you find it hard keeping up with the mud they bring into your home?

The DIY Dogwash means no more waiting for grooming appointments, no more muddy dogs in the back of your car and no more struggling with washing your dog at home! Simply book in online whenever your dog needs it, come along to our Clifton shop, check in at the till and you’re good to go.

You’ll receive private access to our custom built DIY Dogwash room (complete with marble edging!), a basket of everything you need including premixed natural shampoo, washing services, drying services, a towel, a shower scrub and even an apron so your clothes don’t get wet! Our shower and blow dryer are both temperature controlled to keep your dog safe.

We have appointments for half an hour which are suitable for small and medium sized dogs, and hour appointments which are suitable for all larger dogs or any dog's who like to take things at a slower pace.

8. Push the button on the wall for the dryer

Always follow our GOLDEN RULES while inside the DIY Dogwash:

• Never take your eyes off your dog or turn your back to the while they are in the bath.
• Never ever leave your dog unsupervised in the bath. Take your dog with you if you need to leave the room at any point.
• Do not hold the dryer on one part of your dog's body for longer than 5 seconds. We have a temperature control inbuilt into the dryer so it shouldn't get too hot but this is a safety measure in case.
• If the water is building up, check the plug for hair and empty into the bin provided - also check the plug isn't down in the bath!
• Please dry your in the bath to minimise water spillages on the floor.
• You are welcome to use your own shampoo if you prefer.
• Floor may be slippery - take care.
