Prepare NOW Before Fay Hits Land - Secure Dog Wash Systems

Look, it hopefully won't be a big deal but in the next 48 hrs, Florida will be bracing for the impact of TS Fay. Here are a few simple preparation steps to follow in order ensure your equipment and no people get damaged or hurt:

1) if you don't have your unit bolted down, now is the time to do it - it's simple, costs little and can certainly help

2) if you have an awning/canopy over the unit, remove it by tomorrow - these act as parachutes so take them off and store them in your maintenance room

3) closer to landfall, it may make sense to remove the hoses so they are not damaged or even rip off and could become projectiles

Folks, use common sense. And start preparing NOW if you live in Florida. A little preparation could save you thousands of dollars in repairs and lost revenue. Be safe.

Washing Your Dog Twice Per Week Is Recommended By Vets!

My 100lbs black lab, Ike, has been itching and scratching something terrible lately. He has several hot spots and is miserable... and we are miserable too because it keeps us up at night. So we took Ike to our vet today and wanted to share our learnings with everyone.

She says that weekly bathing with a moisturizing shampoo is recommended! And the note we brought home states (and I quote):

"Weekly or twice weekly bathing in a moisturizing shampoo (non-soap, non-detergent) is recommended."

Dog owners need an affordable, efficient and simple way to wash their dogs EVERY WEEK. Your K9000 dog wash at your business is the PERFECT fit for the majority of dog owners. The Tropiclean shampoos offered in the K9000 self serve coin operated dog wash are NON-SOAP and NON-DETERGENT ... they are also alcohol free too. So it will not rinse away the natural oils nor the expensive flea treatments like Frontline and Advantage and it will NOT dry out the dog's coat. Wash them twice per week in the K9000 and notice the difference. Use the Kiwi Conditioner which is coconut-based and moisturizes well.

BTW, the Midland, TX location did 37 washes in one day! That's a record.
