If you’re a dog owner, you've likely wondered whether there's a washing station nearby where you can easily and affordably give your pup a bath without needing to visit a groomer. Or, if you’re a business owner or aspiring entrepreneur, you might be curious about the availability of a self-service pet wash that you can check out as a possible business venture, especially given the forecasted growth in the U.S. pet industry.

Best Locations for a Pet Wash
Many commercial properties are fantastic locations for one of our self-serve pet wash TUB or KIOSK units. Explore some of the best places for a self-serve pet wash from All Paws Pet Wash.
Apartment Buildings
Our TUB- Amenity unit is the perfect solution for adding a pet wash to an apartment building. These units work well outside or near the building, and their compact size requires little space. They have a large tub for washing and drying pets, plus these other features:
- A three-button system: Includes on/off, rinse and dryer buttons to get the job done quickly.
- Hair straining system: Removes pet hair to avoid clogging the drains.
- Ergonomic design: With leash anchors securing each side of this 56-inch wide, 27-inch deep tub, owners can easily wash dogs and other pets of all sizes.
College Campuses
If you're unsure where to open a self-serve pet wash, consider a college campus. Many students have pets during their college years, which is no surprise to us! Four-legged friends provide unconditional love and support that can help keep students going while juggling a tough course load and all the other stressors of student life. If you want to offer a value-added service on campus without using too much space, consider the All Paws Pet Wash's TUB - Revenue unit. It features:
- Nine-button operation system: With nine piezo buttons and a Dixmor timer, users can choose their preferred soaps and pay with coins or bills. The ADA-compliant system can include a credit card reader at an extra cost for convenience.
- Customization options: You can customize your unit to match college colors or surrounding aesthetics.
- Six soap dispensers: We provide a starter kit containing six 1-gallon bottles of different soaps. Users can wash their pets with Oat Shampoo, Tearless Shampoo, Conditioner, Pet Deodorizer, or Flea and Tick Remover. We also supply Tub Disinfectant to ensure the unit remains clean and hygienic after each use.
RV Parks and Campgrounds
RV parks and campgrounds host visitors for the short and long term. Many guests bring their pets along to camp or live with them, especially at RV parks. With plenty of space and a high volume of foot traffic, these sites are perfectly suited for a pet wash—providing a convenient amenity that adds value for pet owners.
Our KIOSK - Single model is the perfect choice for these sites because it offers:
- 10-button operation system: This ADA-compliant push-button system allows users to select from various shampoos, a dryer and a vacuum setting.
- Customization choices: Each unit is fully customizable to promote brand identity or allow cohesion with its surroundings.
- Hassle-free payment options: The KIOSK includes a coin and bill acceptor. We can also install a credit card reader for convenience.
- All-year access: Users can wash their pets throughout the year thanks to the built-in HVAC system for climate control.
These units also provide the option of installing a vending machine with pet treats.
Dog Care Facilities and Parks
What better place to open a self-serve pet wash than a dog care facility or park? These locations are ideal since they exclusively serve owners and their dogs, promoting increased revenue. You'll benefit from a KIOSK - Double unit, which has the same features as the Single option but offers two large pet washing bays to serve more customers at once.
Other locations that would benefit from a pet wash include:
- Convenience stores
- Beaches
- Pet stores
- Pet rescues and shelters
- Kennels
- Dog daycare facilities
- Pet grooming facilities
- Pet-friendly hotels
- Veterinary clinics and hospitals
- Car washes
