Launder-A-Pet

Bathing your dog at home can lead to cleaning your whole house: hair and water gets everywhere, your tub gets scratched up, and your walls and floors get wet. It can also be expensive to regularly bring your pet to a groomer. Launder-A-Pet offers a self-service bathing option with plenty of advantages compared to doing it at home or using the pet wash at the local car wash.

Launder-A-Pet opened in 1995, and in addition to the self-service wash, it offers full-service grooming, doggy daycare, and obedience and agility classes. It also works with an out-of-town kennel as a drop-off/pick-up location.

“We just have a love of dogs,” says Sheila Johnson, who bought the business in 2003. “We have even had cats and rabbits in for self-serve.”
