Oh, that doesn't sound too bad....Do they come out clean?

Yeah, and you can extend your time if you need to by adding more quarters. It works just like self service car wash....

We have one like that in our area as well. It was really convenient during the summer. Charlie loves to play in the stream, woods, etc... and we hiked a lot, meaning she got dirty a lot. I did not want to bring her home like that, so we stopped at the dog wash before we went home!!! Charlie was scared of the blower, though. I guess because it is super powerful.
That is really convenient.:) Ya, I guess it is something you have to get them used to. Hint: if you take the cone off of the top of the blower it is less powerful. :)
We have one in our area. It has 8 tubs - all different heights depending on the size of your dog. Also several grooming stalls with 2 different kinds of blow dryers. The price includes shampoo, conditioner, brushes, towels, professional blow dryers and if you need them scissors and electric clippers are available. It can be a lot easier on your back than the tub at home. :-)
There is supposed to be one opening near us - I am pretty excited!! We just rinse ours with the hosepipe in the summer, or take them for a swim to get the mud off. But, in the winter that isn't an option, so it will be nice to go somewhere where we can rinse them if they are really muddy in the winter.
We have a SSDW here called That Dirty Dog http://www.thatdirtydog.com/. It is usually my first stop after picking up a foster doodle. It is just so much easier to get the "stink" off of them in the raised tub.
