A new year brings fresh promise, resolutions to improve our lives and our health. At Care-A-Lot Pet Supply, we resolve year-round to provide you with the best pet food, accessories, and pet care services in Hampton Roads and beyond. Why not make 2023 the year you resolve to show your pets some extra pampering at our self-serve baths?

Opinions will vary on how often you should give your dog a bath. The right frequency for your dog will depend on different factors. How much time does your pet spend outdoors, rolling in the dirt and grass? How long is their coat? Are they prone to skin irritation? Some experts will tell you one every two months is normal for dog bathing, while others recommend once a week. However often you give your pet a good scrub, it’s a fine time to bond with your dog and make the experience enjoyable.

So why come to any of the three Care-A-Lot Pet Supply locations which offer this affordable service?

Unpredictable Weather

When it rains it gets muddy, and when it’s muddy our pets love to run around and get dirty. Despite all best efforts, it’s still possible to get caught in a yucky storm while out with your pet. At Care-A-Lot Pet Supply, we understand the unpredictable nature of this region’s weather—we’ve been here for decades! Come in and wash away the worst of it.

You Just Cleaned The Floors

Pets baths are a necessity, but sometimes home isn’t the ideal place. If you bathe your dog outdoors, you run the risk of your pet getting dirty immediately afterward. Use the bathroom, and you could be left with a splashing mess. Our self-serve bathing stations are here for your convenience. You can clean your pet in a controlled environment and it’s less cleanup work for you at home. 

We Have Everything You Need

For the cost of using our self-serve baths, you receive use of aprons to keep your clothing day, access to cruelty-free and paraben-free shampoos, and fluffy towels for a thorough drying. Our tubs can accommodate dogs of different sizes, and stairs are provided to aid older dogs who need some assistance. The only thing we ask is that your dog be free of fleas and ticks and has not tangled with a skunk before you bring them.

It’s A Great Bonding Activity

It’s not unusual to see parents with their children, all helping to ensure their dog is happy and clean. The self-serve baths at Care-A-Lot Pet Supply are great to teach children proper pet care, and the environment is warm and friendly. We are dedicated to providing a safe and happy place for your dog to enjoy a bath. The next time you bring them, we’re certain your pets will be thrilled to get wet.

Self-serve pet baths are currently available at both of our Virginia Beach stores and our Moyock store. Watch our social media for news on these and other great pet grooming, boarding, and daycare services we offer.
