Five bathtubs are lined up on one side of the room. Two shampoo bottles, a conditioner, two scrubbers, a towel and an apron are provided for each tub. The tubs are elevated so people don't have to bend to reach their pets. One tub is set lower than the others to accommodate customers in wheelchairs. On the other side of the room are five tables, where pets can be blow-dried.
Special leashes hanging from iron chains keep the pets in place.
A lower, wider table serves older dogs that can't get up easily onto the other tables. Also, the teacher's aide at Canyon View Elementary School said she doesn't feel stressed when clipping her dog's thick hair at the shop. She said it takes four days to cut the 10-inch long cockapoo at home because the dog often gets distracted and runs around. At Bubbles n' Barks, it takes about 90 minutes. Another reason Rorelli comes to the self-serve pet wash is the price.
