Luxury Bath For Your Pooch! by Susan M. at InsiderPages
South Bark Dog Wash is a well kept, organized place to take your dog for a bath. There setup is people and pet friendly at the same time. The staff is passionate about animals, and is a great asset when you have a dog that doesn't want to take a bath. This is a self service dog wash place, and you put your dog up into a tub, choose the shampoo that is right for your pet, and then bathe away. Your dog will be splish splashing (quite literally), in no time. The staff is so patient, and they really care about their customers, and the pooches that come into the South Bark Dog Wash. Convincing the dog to get into the tub is the hardest part, and the staff really is a great help when it comes to stubborn pooches who would rather do anything than take a bath. An apron helps protect your clothes, and it's sort of like a luxury bubble bath for dogs, with scented shampoos and conditioners, a place where you can brush or comb your dog, and even a place to dry them. The scent in the South Bark Dog Wash is a pleasant one, I guess all of those flower and fruit shampoos and facial products really make the place smell wonderful, and it doesn't at all smell like wet dog. The cost is reasonable, though not inexpensive; it's cheaper than similar facilities. There is ample parking, and the store has convenient hours.
PROS: Affordable; fun environment; hands on experience; friendly staff.
CONS: None that I can think of.
