Holding a dog wash is a great way to raise money for a business or charity. While a dog wash needs to be held in a classier setting than a parking lot, you can still encourage visitors with the right promotional tactics. A dog wash is best held at a veterinary office or dog grooming shop that has the proper equipment needed for washing dogs. You will need a large tub with a showerhead sprayer that makes it easy to rinse the tops and undersides of dogs. You will also need to purchase gentle soap that is safe to use on all types of dogs. Certain dogs have sensitive skin, so the last thing you want to do is irritate a client’s skin. A dog wash is most successful when you offer your services at a very low price. You can advertise around town for a few days or weeks leading up the event. Place fliers on bulletin boards around town and consider purchasing advertising in the local newspaper to spread the word.
