I love taking my dogs to Bruno's Place for their baths - and not only my dogs, but I take my mother's puppers as well. They just make it so easy, and it's so much less than taking them to a groomer. I live in Oak Cliff, so it's perfectly ccxconvenient as well. I use their punch card reward program, so every 6th wash is free!
Between my 2, our foster, and mom's 2, we run the spectrum of dog types as well. If I take a group of 3 or more at the same time, I will use the private bathing stall. That way I only have to crate the little one who tries to fit under the door, and everyone else can sniff around while waiting their turn. If I only take 2, there is a convenient crate right there by the tubs in the open room for the one waiting.
I have back problems, and bathing is hard at home. But now...
I no longer have to wrestle 70lbs of brindle goober into a bathtub! You just unlatch and open the tub door, pull out the RAMP, and in he goes while I've still got him in harness and leash. Change to the in-tub leash to keep him where I want him, turn on the warm water, and pick from the selection of shampoos and conditioner. He's a shorthair, so just a few minutes with the blowdryer set next to the tub ]and convenient array of grooming tools, and he's ready for me to pop the door back open, and down the ramp we go!
My other baby is a super-floofer... hair everywhere! But now, thankfully, not all over my bathroom, or clogging my drain tut li!
They even provide a blue super-absorbant towel that makes drying much, MUCH easier, and cuts blowdrying time significantly.
When I take the little boys in, there is either a platform you can set up in the private room's tub to raise them up so as not to break your back, OR there is one tub especially for the little pups.
They also provide white-brightening shampoo, which is great on mom's white floofy, where he gets discolored fur under his chin.
Bruno's even has 2 grooming tables, which are quite helpful for brushing and trimming up. I brought my own set of clippers, so I'm not sure if or what they have as far as trimmers, but we could run an electrical cord to the table no problem.
If you go during the day, I believe before 5pm, they can even do nail trims for an additional cost. And on a chihuahua's tiny nails? Yes, please!
Best of all they are super friendly, always asking if they can help, or if you need anything. They don't wash the dog for you, but they can be right there as an extra hand when you need it! read more
