Dog owners can now keep their pets clean more easily thanks to a new self-service wash station at a beloved pub.

Dog Wash Express now operates two self-service dog wash stations in Essex, offering professional washing facilities without the need for an appointment.

Situated at Purdeys Industrial Estate, Magnolia Way, Rochford, the first location operates round-the-clock, seven days a week, providing flexibility for busy dog owners.

The site also offers free parking for added convenience.

The second station opened at the weekend at The Woodmans Arms pub, in Rayleigh Road, Benfleet, and is open from 8am until 10pm every day, also with free parking available.

Both stations have been designed to make bath time easier and more enjoyable for dogs and their owners.

They provide a range of wash options, including a warm water wash system, premium shampoo, conditioner, flea and tick shampoo, and both low and high-speed blow dry options.

Each station also comes with complimentary tub disinfectant, ensuring a clean and hygienic environment for every user.

Dog owners can use the facilities without booking in advance, selecting their preferred wash duration upon arrival.

The current pricing structure offers a quick wash for £5, a standard wash for £10, and a long wash for £12.

All wash packages include full access to the warm water system, shampoos, conditioner, flea and tick treatment shampoo, drying functions, and complimentary tub disinfectant.

A spokesperson for Dog Wash Express said: "We wanted to create a convenient and affordable solution for dog owners who don't want the mess of washing their dogs at home.

"Our self-service stations are easy to use, available seven days a week, and provide everything needed to leave dogs clean, fresh, and dry.

"We're delighted to now have two locations serving dog owners across Essex."

The company is also searching for more dog-friendly venues across Essex to host a Dog Wash Express machine.

Dog Wash Express operates a revenue-share model, allowing host venues to generate extra income without any upfront investment.

The company covers the installation and supply of the machine and handles all ongoing maintenance, servicing, and marketing.

Businesses like pubs, garden centres, farm shops, service stations, pet stores, dog parks, kennels, and other dog-friendly destinations are encouraged to get in touch to discuss partnership opportunities.
