Recycled dirty wash or rinse water is not used at Dogoverboard. Fresh warm water automatically heated to a preset prescribed temperature is used in all baths. The baths are self-draining, which allows the dirty wash and rinse water to drain away from your dog. Rubber mats ensure the dog will not slip in the baths.
Dogs should always be dried after bathing. Drip-drying or allowing the coat to dry over many hours can lead to bacterial growth under the coat and assist the development of certain skin complaints. Dogoverboard has 7 drying booths big enough for the largest dog.
We have made it easy to wash your dog. You don't need an appointment, just drop in with your dog anytime 7 days a week. Last DIY wash and dry is 30 minutes before closing time. We can supply quality soap-free shampoos, conditioners, towels, brushes and aprons or you can bring your own. Remember never use human shampoos. We also do not allow the use of flea make-up washes, such as gamma wash etc. If your dog has fleas, we recommend a Capstar tablet followed by a wash using a normal dog shampoo. If in doubt, we can make recommendations based on your dog's skin and coat type and advise you on the various flea treatment options.
