Common questions
Do I need an appointment?
No, self-wash is walk-in. Come by any day up to 30 minutes before closing. During our busiest hours there may be a brief wait for a station to open up.
Where can I use the self-wash?
At both salons, Carefree and Moon Valley. The mobile van doesn't have a self-wash station.
What's provided?
Raised tubs, a leash and anchor at every station, our BatherBox soap-and-conditioner system, brushes, aprons, clean towels, and gentle dryers in the drying room. And we clean up afterwards.
How much does the self-wash cost?
$24.99 per pet, per visit, with everything included. If you come often, a membership pays for itself: $39.99 a month for one pet, or $69.99 a month for every pet in your household, both with unlimited visits.
How do I sign up for a membership?
Ask a staff member at either salon, or give us a call, and we'll set it up on your account in a minute. There's no contract, and you can cancel any time.
Self-wash rules
The short version of the agreement you sign at check-in:
- Dogs and cats only, and pets stay leashed at all times, in the tubs and at the drying stations.
- You're responsible for your pet the whole visit. Keep them from approaching other pets, and give them a break if they seem stressed.
- Pets must be current on rabies vaccination and free of anything contagious.
- Keep the water in the tub, and towel-dry your pet in the tub before heading to the drying room.
- Outside shampoos, products, or tools need a front-desk OK first.
- Leave the shampoo calibration knobs alone. If something isn't dispensing, ask a staff member.
- Return leashes, towels, and aprons to their marked spots, and leave the brushes and bins at the station for the next guest.
- Finishing touches are complimentary within reason: up to two perfume sprays and one bandana or bow per pet.
- Accidents happen. Just clean up after your pet, and ask staff for supplies.
- Visits are limited to 60 minutes per pet, washing and drying combined.
- Staff can pause or end a session for safety or rule violations, without a refund.
The full Self-Serve Wash & Dry Agreement is presented at check-in.
