Here at Forestside Grooming, I offer professional dog grooming services, but I know that not everyone wants to leave their dog with someone else to get a bath – they’d prefer to do it themselves. If you want to wash your dog, but need somewhere to do it, I have a self service dog wash facility. It’s a great way to take care of your dog’s bath yourself, while enjoying the benefits of a dedicated dog washing area. If you’d like to find out more, please get in touch.
