NoodleNut Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Hi all, Just reporting on my experience at Petstock (Lilydale in Melbourne) as I decided to try bathing Noodle there last weekend. I took my own towels as they charge $2 hire per towel and I also took my own Aloveen conditioner. As it was 50% off last weekend I managed to bath Noodle for $3 (mind you the poor thing had to stand there while the water kept coming out for another 1.5 minutes, can't turn it off ... next time I will know it doesn't take that long). The bath I found a good height but mucking around with the switches I found to be a bit of a pain - next time I will take OH or one of the kids. The dryer - not strong enough for my Puli .. I spent another $6 on that and she was still very wet .. had to bundle her up and take her home and use my own dog dryer that has a lot more grunt. The dryer would probably work well on a short haired breed or one without a double coat. I just wanted to see what the set up was like and for convenience in the middle of winter it would be an option to bathing at home (I don't have a hydrobath .. very costly and only one dog .. pity they are not cheaper) .. mind you I would need to take a heaps of towels and a dog rug to get her home. The concept is good though and they're opening times are more flexible for me .. great for a Sunday afternoon after obedience in the morning in a muddy park Any similar set-ups out there that people can refer me to or comments on the Petstock set up?

KitKat Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Petwise in Brisbane has a flat rate of $10 for use of the hydrobath and oldfield dryers including towel (tho recommended to bring one yourself) and fido's wash - tho you can use your own shampoo. On Mondays and Tuesdays it's $2 for VIP members (free membership). I know the Macgregor store often has show people using it...which is a bit of a pain as they can end up in there for 4-6 hours yet still only pay the $10 per dog.

Anyone out there know of anything similar in their state ... or in my case the the outereastern 'burbs of Melbourne that is this competitive? I love my Noodle but flying to Brissie to bath her is out of the question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
