Pet Stock

Do you prefer to bath your pooch yourself, rather than hand the more than likely ‘unhappy victim’ over to a grooming saloon or a mobile dog wash? Then if that’s the case, Pet Stock Allenby Gardens have a very good do-​it-​yourself dog washing facility.
Open 24×7, no need to book, though you may have to wait whilst another dog is undergoing his or her wash, it’s not only convenient but clean, safe, provides plenty of options for washing, shampooing and drying, and is also easy to operate. Though I have to say my very reluctant gal didn’t like the blow dryer, not even on low speed, it did have a rather loud sound and quite a gutsy blow too. Maybe best for long haired, double coated dogs.
You can, as I did, take your own shampoo and conditioner, but I did on one occasion use the ones provided and found that, even though my gal suffers from allergies, they proved to be quite satisfactory.
The cost, even if you have the ‘full monty’ is very cheap, definitely will not break the bank.
The washing tank has a hook, to which you can safely attach your dog, though I didn’t bother with that, but nice to know you can if your pooch is extremely reluctant to take a bath.
Plenty of car parking available, especially later at night when I usually go.
Any problems and the staff in Pet Shop are only too happy to oblige, even if you have to go a couple of days later as I did, due to the fact the shop was closed when we first went to use the washing facilities. My problem was, for some reason, the coin slot was jammed, not a regular occurrence, it’s only happened once, which for a public facility I feel is very good.
My only other problem was that on one occasion, the person in before me, did not bother to wash out the tank! As there is a notice clearly asking patron to wash the tank, this wasn’t very thoughtful of that person. Only takes a moment and doesn’t cost you a cent to be clean and thoughtful. For this reason I’m taking off a star, but other than that, I’m more than happy to use this dog wash.
And, speaking of the shop its self, very dog friendly and an excellent range of not only dog products, but other animal needs are all also available.
