The Facilities


Bathing Station w/ Holding Crates (NEW, Larger Location!)

Professional quality stainless steel, waist high, grooming tubs with high backsplash and sides that will safely hold any size dog -- from the tiniest Chihuahua to the biggest Saint Bernard.  No more back strain and knee pain from washing the dog in your bathroom's "human" tub!  Tie-downs are included, with the dog facing right or left, so you don't have to worry about holding him in place, and you can easily wash both sides of the dog.  Inside each tub is a raised grate platform, which keeps Fido out of the wet, hairy, soapy water during bathing and drying, making the job easier.  Each of our six tubs is set in it's own separate area, which provides more privacy and helps to keep dogs calmer.


Family fun at Canine Creek (Original Location)

Warm water hand-sprayers, choice of pet shampoo, a rubber scrubbing brush, bath towels (as many as you need, for no extra charge), a professional high-velocity pet hair dryer, and waterproof aprons are provided at each bathing station.  Under each tub is a wood barrel "locker" on wheels, where you can safely store your personal items, such as keys, sunglasses and purses, while you work.  Grooming tables with tie-downs are also available for your use as needed.  All these amenities are included with the Basic Bath at one fixed price.


Full tubs on a weekend afternoon (Original Location)

Additional grooming items (eye, tooth, ear & nail care) are available in the Grooming Kit - see the prices page for more information.  By the way..... there are no time limits on tub, dryer or grooming table use, so feel free to take your time and enjoy the experience with your dog.

A variety of pet colognes are available for your use, upon request, after each basic bath at no extra charge.  Scents are subject to change, but usually include Vanilla, Berry, Baby Powder, Green Apple, Pina Colada, Wild Cherry, and more.  However, if your pet has allergies or skin sensitivities, it might be best to skip the colognes, and just go home smelling like a freshly washed dog.

No appointment necessary.  Our facilities are available on a first come, first served walk-in basis, so you can stop by whenever it's convenient for you.  Metal stairs and a rubberized ramp are provided to help get big dogs into the tub, or onto the grooming table, without straining your back.  For those of you with multiple dogs, holding crates are available in the shop so no one has to be left at home, or in a hot car, while waiting their turn for a bath.

Cleanliness is very important to us.  In order to provide the nicest bathing experience, and prevent the spread of pet-related diseases, our tubs and brushes are cleaned and disinfected after each use with a hospital-quality, germicidal, anti-bacterial cleaning solution.  Our fluffy white pet towels are cleaned in a commercial grade washer with bleach, and dried on the hottest setting possible.  The shop is also wiped down, mopped and vacuumed daily to insure that each customer enjoys a clean environment.... whether they're the first or last visitor of the day.

Sit back and relax.  Bringing along a friend or family member, and wonder what they'll do while you're bathing Fido?  Don't worry, we'll make sure they are comfortable.  We have a chairs out front of the shop, a picnic table on the back patio area (with fenced dog pens), and two nice wood rockers in the retail area for hanging out.  To pass the time, and keep little ones occupied, we offer a nice selection of Disney and other family-friendly video movies, including several with animal themes.  Coloring books, crayons, paper and clipboards are also available upon request.

Convenient hours, 7 days a week.  Shop hours are 10am to 6pm every day, except major holidays.  We are closed on New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day, and a some days surrounding these holidays, depending on when they all during the week.  Dogs need to be in the tubs at least 30 minutes prior to closing (5:30pm) each day.  If our days or hours of operation change from what is posted above, we will update the website with this information, and post a notice on the Canine Creek front door.
