The Dogwash
Bath time for dogs isn’t always that much fun for the dog or that convenient for its owner. However, people who live in Venice, California, can take their dogs to a “dogwash.” At the dogwash, there are tubs which are located on high tables so that it’s easy for a dog owner to wash his pet. These tubs also have showers, and the bottom of the tubs are made of wood so the dogs don’t slip. The price of a dogwash includes soap and shampoo that is especially made for dogs. Customers say that using the dogwash is much more convenient and less messy than washing a dog at home.
