Pet Valu

We checked out the new Pet Valu in town (located in the Dave’s and Gold’s Gym plaza in EG) and were pleasantly surprised. Our plan was to use the self dog bath station as our fur ball was smelling a little funky. For $ 10, you can use their beautiful baths for up to 30 minutes. They provide the bath, water, shampoo (choice of 3-​oatmeal, regular, de-​shedding), aprons for the humans, towels, dryers, treats for a job well done, etc. You do need to bring your own brush (or purchase one there) if you plan to do any brushing. There are three baths, small, medium, and large, in a small fenced-​in part of the store. We’ve been to many self dog baths and this is by far the cleanest and nicest we’ve seen. They have steps so your dog can walk in on their own and the collar/​leash bath combination to keep them in place during their time in the tub. The dryer was great in that you could adjust the temperature as well as the volume (for those pups with sensitive ears). The woman working was as helpful as could be and ensured we had everything we needed. We didn’t have time to shop around, but they seemed to have a wealth of pet supplies, accessories, and more for dogs/​cats/​furry critters/​fish. They also have a promotion right now going on that if you donate to war dogs (to help purchase supplies the dogs need for training/​deployments, such as goggles etc) you receive a coupon to use on your next visit. They also have a free pet perks card program you can sign up for, where earning a certain number of points earns you cash. You also get your 6^th bath free with their punch card!
Definitely worth the trip to check this new pet store out!
