Full-service facilities

From the very beginning, Dog Wash America® tapped into a growing market of mixed breed, multiple-dog households by offering affordable, convenient, quality bathing and grooming. It set itself apart from other grooming shops by offering "no appointment needed for a bath only."

Dog Wash America® later became a full-service facility by offering other pet-related services provided by outside sources such as haircuts, anesthesia-free teeth cleaning and dog training. These added services have proven to be a great way to increase revenue. There is minimal effort for the owner other than to schedule appointments.

The welfare of the dogs is our #1 priority.

Dog Wash America® puts the needs and the welfare of people's pets as its #1 priority. Because dog bathing is their core business, their standards for quality bathing and finishing have put them ahead of the pack. Franchisees are trained to bathe and finish dogs using proven grooming methods employed by Dog Wash America®.

And now, Dog Wash America® Franchises are available in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas. Please read the legal statement at the bottom of this page before submitting your request for information.

You will learn the following grooming skills:

  • the Dog Wash America® bathing process
  • what skin conditions require special shampoos or conditioners
  • how to clip nails
  • how to handle all dogs humanely and safely
  • how to demat and remove undercoat
  • how to use grooming shears and clippers for that "finished" look

As a special touch, after dogs are bathed, brushed, had their ears cleaned and nails clipped, they receive a complimentary, colorful bandana. Dog Wash America® has an array of colorful bandanas that the owner can choose from, or the groomer will pick one to match the personality and gender of the dog — cowboys for the boys and flowers for the girls. It is an inexpensive way to set your shop apart and the owners love it!

While Dog Wash America® is defined by its high standards of grooming, it is also known for the manner in which each dog is handled. All dogs are handled in a safe and humane manner with respect to each dog's individual personality — timid, aggressive, senior dogs, puppies, and first-timers.

Dog Wash America® wants each dog that visits its shops to have a good grooming experience. Customers have commented that they no longer have to drag their dog out of the car to visit the groomer. Dogs wag their tails when they come to Dog Wash America®!
