redditchlady Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Linky Am going over on Thursday to try them out with Ozzy. I am going to bath him myself to begin with. If it is ok am taking Korky next week. Will report back. After speaking to Richard, they supply all grooming equipment, shampoo etc. Kazz x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pboae Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I saw one of these in York (I think) and it looked pretty good from the outside, but it was closed at the time so I couldnt go in for a nosy. Please do post back once you've been, in particular I'd like to know if they have floor level/walk in showers, or if the dog has to be lifted into a bath (for obvious reasons!).

DanishPastry Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 pbaoe if you look at the gallery, you can see there are steps up to the bath, which has an opening i one end, so the dog can walk in there by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pboae Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks I hadn't seen that, but there's no way I'd get my dog up there, and even if I could, he wouldn't fit in those baths. Maybe one of the private rooms might not have a bath in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mum24dog Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 A REGULARLY BATHED DOG IS A HEALTHIER, HAPPIER DOG Is it b******s. We've had one of ours over 2 years and haven't bathed him yet - perfectly healthy with a lovely shiny coat and no skin problems. Clean as well - sparkling white where he should be.

Ozzy was weighed last week at the vets. He was 72 kgs. No way can I lift him. There are private rooms for £10 shampoo provided etc hun. Will report back Thursday once we are home.

Mine go over the fields and roll in all sorts and every 3 months they get stinky. Just trying to help Midlanders with dogs thats all hun.

redditchlady Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Lynn, Shall take the camera just for you. I think Richard may be on to a winner here. I like Richard cos he is a gay guy, and he is sound. And he loves his dogs. But off the record I think he has the right idea. If anyone on Facebook wants to look him up it's Richard Cooper. Please don't look at his pics. Kazz xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pboae Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I guess it depends on the dog, obviously I brush him daily, but it still doesn't get all the undercoat out in the way that washing him does. We only wash him once or twice a year, but it's been nearly 18 months now and he's itchy and uncomfortable, so I think he'd be happier washed. I'll be waiting for your report!
