Below is a list of the most frequently asked questions during
our Educational Webinars and our free One-on-One consultations
How much do the units cost?
Our units cost $54,995.00 for a building model, and $59,995.00 for our self-contained trailers. There are other factors that can affect the total cost to start your business, including some optional services and features for your wash, shipping, installation costs, insurance, etc. That is why we have developed our 1-2-3 step process to ensure you have all of the information you need to ensure success.
How long does it take to get my unit after I order?
In general, our delivery times are between 90-120 days from the date of your order. This can change based on the number of orders currently in the manufacturing process. During a scheduled One-on-One consultation after your introductory webinar we can provide more accurate estimates on current build and delivery time-frames.
Do I need to own real estate to place my unit?
While you can own the real-estate where you place your unit, in most cases, you will find a “partner business” where you can place your unit at their existing business for some form of ground rent, or a land lease. If you do own an existing business, placing a unit on your own business will make it easier (since you don’t have to find or negotiate with a partner business), and will increase your profitability as you won’t be paying rent. We offer a special webinar dedicated to finding and securing host locations or we can address your questions in a One-on-One consultation after your introductory webinar.
Do you offer financing?
We don’t currently offer in-house financing, but we can help you with some ideas for where you might be able to find financing for your dog wash business. You can learn about some financing options here: https://www.ownadogash.com/finance.
Do you offer Property Management in my town?
Our Managed unit program is currently full, so check back later.
We are limited in where we can offer our Managed Unit Program to those areas where we have secured both territories and property management partners. We can discuss how the Managed Unit Program works in a scheduled One-on-One consultation after your introductory webinar.

No! We are not a franchise – BUT – our our start-up kit provides tools and services to assist you as an owner. Each dog wash unit is independently owned and operated and is branded with your name & logos/graphics. To learn more about the start-up kit’s tools and services, attend one of our webinars.
