Furever Clean Dog Wash

I have an amazing 2 year old Saint Bernard named Fezzik. Since puppyhood, he has abhorred baths, hoses, and rain, but goes nuts for the beach and lakes... and mud (must dive nose first into any mud) Early days of bathing were a hassle, having a puppy bigger than most dogs get, so bathroom floods were common. He also ends up with the occasional skin infection from a hidden hotspot, so bathing. We actually became acquainted with Furever Clean in the spring of 2017, when we brought Fezzy to the dog expo. He wasn’t a fan of it there so we put that idea to rest and continued with our poor sopping pup slipping around our house in dramatic escapes from the tub of doom. Until September of 2018, when Fezzik suffered a CCL tear on a romp. He needed expensive surgery and a complete halt to his usually active and goofy lifestyle. We knew we couldn’t continue to bathe him at home, with all the tile, the tub, hardwood floors. So we went to Furever Clean. We go around 4-6pm on various days and never see anyone else there, which is good for our adhd small bear who had the sheer willpower to try to drag me into walking him the day after major TPLO surgery. To our surprise, Fezzik hops right in to the tub every time without fuss. The machine takes coins, card, and tap (including Apple Pay, Apple watches, etc etc) if you pay by card it’s $10 for $10, otherwise it’s $1 per minute. With me distracting and my husband washing, it takes us 10 minutes to wash and lightly blow dry our entire fussy boy, leaving time to give a rinse of the machine for the next customers. The entire floor is covered in rubber mats and can get kind of wet, but never as slippery as home. They supply waterproof aprons, some treats, brushes and spare towels. The door also swings inward so dogs can’t nose their way out the door when you’re packing up (common problem at our vet!). Overall, every experience with Furever Clean has been great, such a safe place to bathe my high maintenance dog. My only criticisms are that it does get very humid inside, and I wish I could control the water temperature a little bit, but not at all worth any star removals ❤️❤️❤️
