The Green Spot

We have a Chinese Shar-Pei and he requires baths on a regular basis. A few weeks ago when it was time for a bath before a holiday party, I loaded him up and drove him to The Green Spot to try out their facility. Usually we just give Dudley a bath at home but sometimes get tired of the struggle of coaxing him into the bathroom, encouraging him into the shower, and cleaning up the mess afterward. As a nice break, mostly to myself, we went to The Green Spot. The first time I went it was a weekend afternoon and I was able to get him in right away. The next time I went, both bath tubs were being used but I put my name on a waiting list, ran one quick errand, and when I was back there was a spot open for me. They did explain that if somebody would arrive and a tub was open and I had not returned, they would let them go first. They estimated that if I were back in about 20 minutes, one of the owners and dogs in the tub would be just finishing up and I wouldn’t lose my spot. They were right on with their estimate and as I arrived it was our turn. They have several methods to help get your dog into the tub. They have a ledge on one side of the tub for the dog jump up to and then into the tub or they will bring over a mobile staircase so your dog can walk up and get inside. The top of the tub is about 4 feet above the ground and I knew Dudley would never use the stairs so I had to lift him up and in. Once your dog is in the tub, they hook a short leash from the side of the tub to the dogs neck. They do this on both sides so the dog has some room to move around but not enough slack to jump out of the tub. They explained how to turn on the water and showed me all the supplies that I could use and then let us get started. They supply shampoo, conditioner, ear cleaning solution, q-tips, cotton balls, wash clothes, brushes, towels, and a blow dryer. They do pull a gate closed so you are in a 6 x 10‘ area with the tub and all the supplies you need, which is nice so once the bath is finished and you are drying off your dog, they can’t escape. When the wash is done, you leave all the supplies and somebody comes and cleans up the area for you and you go to the counter to check out. The cost of a single wash is about $16 but a wash package can be purchased which I believe is to buy six washes and get the seventh one free. Both times they have allowed me to take Dudley outside to use the restroom right away after the bath because I get worried that with the anxiety of the bath he could have an accident if he doesn’t get out quickly. They let me take Dudley out for a few minutes and even load him up in the car before coming back inside to pay. I just appreciate their flexibility in that regards. Their shop is clean and their staff is very friendly. And it always fun for Dudley meet other dogs that are there. The last time we went there was even a little monkey on a leash! Thank you for providing such a nice place to bring your dog for a bath! We will be back : )

My dogs and I love coming to this pet store. The staff is always so nice and very helpful. They have great products. They even have a nice self serve pet wash and a small play area outside!

I love Green Spot and have been shopping here for years. Everyone is so nice and accommodating. Suki, especially, is super knowledgeable about pet health and always puts the time in to chat about what might be going on with your pet. I recommend this place to everyone!

Suki is so knowledgeable about any nutritional needs and helped me figure out how to help my coonhound through her yeast allergy! Thea says thank you Green Spot!!!

We took our dog for a wash Saturday and had a great experience. The rooms are enclosed which we enjoyed since our dog is iffy on how he was going to react. Everything you need is in the room, we will be returning with Apollo. The only downfall is you have to get your dog in the tub, there are stairs in the right side to assist you.

The Green Spot has a wonderful program where if you take your animal’s adoption papers in, they give you a selection of free things! Staff are friendly and very helpful. They care about the well-being of your pet and have a great selection of products.

They were great!! So helpful because I was unprepared and brought two dogs and one leash :/. Bad dog mom! We destroyed the wash area by knocking down the whole shelving system and they were so friendly in helping us! We will definitely be back!

This place is great. We took our large dog for a self service bath and it was the easiest bath I've ever given him. He was a lot less stressed out and while he doesn't like bathes he didn't hate it. The people working there are very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend The Green Spot!

Love the friendly people that work there. Great products at a reasonable price. If you can't find what you are looking for there, you don't need it.

I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for a few things, it's clean and they offer all the stuff you need, brushed, shampoo/ conditioner, towels and a dryer but it's really set up for smaller dogs. I have a geriatric dog and she is 65 pounds, she was unable to use the stair and cat walk to the tub, I had to have someone help get her up and over the side of the tub, the top of the tub what chest height to me so that's a lot to get her up and over, getting her out was about the same, she was able to get to the catwalk but I had to bring her down, she couldn't do the step down
