A self-service dog wash on Bush Road in Rosedale, on the North Shore, where owners can wash their own dogs at purpose-built stations. Nose to Tail was founded in Auckland in 2002 by a dog owner who got tired of washing a large black Labrador at home. No appointment is needed, and the website says the wash packs are eco-friendly. Owners can bring their own shampoo, and the stations are open seven days a week from 9am to 5.30pm. Add-on services include flea rinsing, face trims and nail trims. Grooming and hydrotherapy are by appointment, and the shop can also wash and dry a dog for the owner. Extra charges apply for shampoo and extra services.
The shop also sells dog food, treats, grooming tools, toiletries and home cleaning products. The website says there is no charge for time at the DIY wash, so owners can take as long as they like. The phone number is 09 448 2227.
