Feel free to bring a licky mat or a filled Kong with their favourite treat to help keep their focus on something yummy.
There will be slip leashes to the bathing area so dogs can't jump out whilst being bathed.
Another slip leash to the main room for additional dogs to be tethered if needed.
If your dog is not use to a hairdryer or blaster, please don't stress them out by forcing it on them. Gradually introduce them to it by taking advice from a dog trainer. It will then be a much happier experience for you and your dog.
Dog snoods in sizes Small, Medium & Large will be in the room if needed. These are great ear protectors and help to keep your dog calm.

You will receive a confirmation email of your booking along with a 4-digit code for the key-safe located next to the door entry. There will be a retractable key inside. The door automatically locks when shut. To open the key-safe, pull down the black cover so the illuminated keys are exposed. Align the dials to the number that has been emailed to you and pull down the small black button and the retractable key will be inside. Put the key in the lock and turn it to the right, push down the door handle (it won't open yet), turn the key again to the right for a second time and then push the handle down. The door will then open. Please place the key back into the key-safe, mess-up the numbers and put back the black cover before entering the building.

This is a guide only. If you are bringing two dogs from the same household please allow yourself time to bathe your dogs and to clear up any discarded hair, liquid spills and excess water from the floor within your booked time as specified in the Terms & Conditions.
Please feel free to bring your own dog shampoo especially if your dog is subject to any skin conditions or you would just prefer your own brand. The shampoo in the washroom is there if you wish to use it. The brand is 'Kelco' and the product is called 'Down & Dirty Deep Cleansing Dog Shampoo' which is used in dog Salons and has been recommended by local dog groomers.
We highly recommend you research the product's details before each use as we are not liable for any reactions as per our Terms & Conditions.
Once you have finished, please allow a few minutes within your booked session to wipe-up any spilled liquids and discarded hair from the bathing and main floor area in order to not cause a slip hazard for you or anyone else. A rubber broom is provided along with kitchen towel to wipe it up and dispose of it in the waste bin provided. Please sweep any excess water into the drains.
Please take home any dog faeces if your dog has had an accident on our property and please do not put it in the waste bin in the washroom or in our wheelie bins, thank you.
The Washroom will be thoroughly cleaned at the end of each day. The drains have traps which will be emptied each night. The towels and snoods will be washed, dried and ready for the next day.
Thank you
Your time starts at the time you booked your session and will be for the length of time you booked and paid for (for example; if you booked at 10am for 30 mins, your time starts at 10am and ends at 10:30am). There is no flexibility due to other people booking after you. Please don't overrun your booked time. No refunds for lateness.
Please report it via email Bathtime@K9Washroom.co.uk along with your appointment date and time so we can look back through the CCTV recordings. If you can provide photos of the room that would be very helpful too. Thank you.
At K9 Washroom we are passionate about helping you by providing a facility that is affordable, stress free and convenient.
As a Nation we need to be saving water, so please help to save our planet by turning off the water when shampooing and when finished.
We are a small business and in order to keep the running costs down, please be mindful of usage. With the utility costs at present being somewhat turbulent, we would like to keep our prices as low as possible for you.
