Self-service dog wash tucked away inside pink van allows owners to watch TV as they shower their pup

A new self service dog wash tucked away inside a pink van comes complete with a range of equipment.

Inside the repurposed vehicle, which has opened its doors in Warrington, are fresh and fluffy towels all natural dog shampoo, nail clippers, pet wipes, dog washing gloves, doggy perfume, hot water, a heater and even a TV for you to both watch while grooming.

It even has a bath robe to keep your pooch warm after their shower

Owner Rebeckah Vaughan, originally from Bidston in Wirral explained to TeamDogs : "It’s a cosy warm grooming room for customers to bath and dry their dogs safely.

"It is quiet and private with a professional drop down bath, a commercial blow dryer and a groomers table to keep your dog safe and secure during the drying process.

Appointments for the van are booked in 15 minute time slots (No More Kennels Luxury Dog Hotel)

"It is suited for every breed of dog, especially the bigger ones who may be difficult to control during bathing."

The 38-year-old, who has a Bachelor Science in Canine Behaviourism also runs No More Kennels Luxury Dog Resort and Spa but hopes this new facility provides the perfect place for a convenient quick bath for owners after a roll around in mud.

She said: "All I ever want to do is provide a service to dog owners that will enhance their relationship with their pet, nobody wants a soggy doggy shaking wet dog hairs all over their bathroom.

"This is just another service provided by No More Kennels to try and make being a dog owner easier, because as we all know being a pawrent is hard work."

For safety and security purposes, customers need to sign up online beforehand.

The self-service wash if available to use from 7am - 12pm and then 2pm -7pm every day.

The price is set at £7 for 15 minutes, however the timer is set to 20 minutes to allow extra time for entering and exiting the van.

Parking is available outside the No More Kennels hotel at Riverside Trading Estate, Penketh, WA5 2UL.
