How We Approach Dog Wash

What Happens During A Dog Or Puppy Wash?

We know a professional dog bath can seem like a lot if you've never trusted somebody else to take care of your dog's needs. At Farmer Pete's, we treat your furry family member with consideration and respect, showering their heads with pats and kind words as experienced hands make short work of thick coats, long fur, and matted dreadlocks. While no two dogs are the same, most dog wash appointments follow a tried and tested plan: 

1

We'll sit down with you and uncover any concerns you may have about their coat, skin sensitivities or anxieties before agreeing on a wash type to suit your dog's needs.

2

The groomer will then take your dog into a fully equipped Grooming trailer, complete with a hydrobath for even the largest dogs. We'll then prep our dog's coat, removing any matting and dead hair before even wetting your pooch. 

3

Our team then treats your pooch to a 2 x shampoo wash and 1 x conditioner massage perfectly matched to their skin and coat type, massaging tired legs and backs while the product does its work.

4

After washing away any remaining conditioner, your dog will enjoy a towel dry or blow dry, depending on the package you selected.

Farmer Pete's Dog Wash Services

Keeping our pets clean can be messy, stressful, and wet, very, very wet! Instead of hooking your pup's lead to a DIY dog wash station and scrubbing their coat clan as their paw slip and slide around the basin, hand over the hard work to Farmer Pete's. Our dog groomers ensure your best buddy looks forward to their dog wash and grooming appointment, while you're free to leave for a little while, grab a coffee and do anything but struggle with a stubborn with a stubborn bottle and a dog exercising Houdini like stunts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dog Wash Q&A

  • How Long Does A Professional Dog Wash Take?

    A professional dog bath can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 3 hours to complete, depending on what is requested. 

  • Does Farmer Pete's Provide A Hydrobath Or Just Cold Water?

    We believe in treating your best buddy to a positive experience, therefore, we will always use a hydrobath for your pooch.

  • How Do Dog Hydrobaths Work?

    The hydrobath sprays pressurized warm fresh water and shampoo through your pooch's coat. The shower head provides a thorough clean which gets right down into the dog's coat and gives and invigorating massage, this also helps to alleviate that "Wet Dog Smell" you sometimes get from other forms of bathing. 

  • Why Pay For A Dog Wash When You Can Hose Them Down At Home?

    There's more to showering your pup than soaking their topcoat and smothering the ends in soapy suds. We understand time is often of the essence, especially on weekends when you'd often treat your canine companion to their monthly bath, but there's a huge difference between the equipment you buy in the shops and the gear we carry and use in our salon. If conditioners and large tubs with specialised hoses and nozzles don't sway you, there are a few reasons why your dog deserves a professional dog bath over a backyard spray and shake. 

  • How Often Should You Wash Your Dog?

    We'd love to deliver a simple answer, but it really depends on your dog. If you need a quick rule of thumb, most happy and well-groomed dogs need a bath every couple of weeks or whenever their coat develops that stinky doggy smell that creeps up your nose. Puppies can begin enjoying bath time from 10 weeks old, once a month, to give them plenty of time to get used to bathing while allowing natural oils to do their work. 

A few questions to consider:


  1. Does your dog live inside or outside...maybe a bit of both? Outdoor dogs need more baths than their indoor cousins. 
  2. Do you take them to the beach, on hikes or into nature, exposing their fur to elements not found in the average backyard?
  3. What kind of fur do they have? Is it water resistant? Oily? Thick or curly?
  4. Does your dog suffer from skin sensitivities and environmental allergies?
  5. Is your dog due for a deep clean? Get them into the bath with Farmer Pete's.
