22,000 Dog Washes: what parts we had to replace (6 years later)

Описание: Thinking about starting a self-serve dog wash business? Are you wondering about the maintenance on a dog wash station? I explain everything we've had to repair on this station and show you the exact parts we had to replace.

This one self serve dog wash station has done over 22,000 washes since 2019 and it's still in service, rain or shine day in and day out.

Spoiler: it's way less maintenance than you probably think. Most parts just keep running. But there are a few things that do wear out, and some repairs are easier than others.

If you're researching this business or want to compare your experience, this should give you realistic expectations.

Hi! I’m Colleen, co-founder of Doggowash, a self serve dog wash business in San Diego. In 2019, we launched our first two dog wash stations in a parking lot near San Diego's busiest dog beach. We didn't know what we were doing, but had a dream and hoped it would all work out.

Six years later, we’ve washed 80,000+ dogs, opened 4 locations, and have 12 self-serve dog wash stations generating steady revenue.

We’re not special—we started small, made mistakes, and learned as we went.

Now, we’re sharing helpful videos and other content, so you can decide if a self serve dog wash business is for you, skip the costly mistakes, and start living life on your terms—just like we are.
