New Business: Bark & Bathe Self Service Dog Wash, Full Service Pet Salon
The new pet-friendly business recently opened in nearby Robbinsdale and celebrated their grand opening. The store will partner with Secondhand Hounds Feb. 17 as a host for the organization's dog and cat adoption program.
After opening in December, Bark & Bathe Self Service Dog Wash and Full Service Pet Salon of nearby Robbinsdale shared the new business with the community during their grand opening week Feb. 12-17.
“We are very excited to open our first store. Bark & Bathe’s customers are free to choose the option that best fits their needs and pocket book. They can do-it-themselves or leave everything to us – and we have a groomer with 29 years of experience for those who want a more complete 'spa-like' experience for their pet," founder and co-owner Karen Moe said.
Services cost $10 - $30 per visit. Customized grooming services can be scheduled in advance for an additional cost. Treats, pet-care products, toys, and leashes from a variety of suppliers are also available.
