Interesting news story about a self serve dog wash in PA: http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/consumer/save_with_6abc&id=6730157
Notice what they charge ... vs. the K9000 price of $10 for 10 minutes and $1 per additional minute. Look, if you want to spend 1/2 hour to 45 minutes washing your dog, then this type of store front is for you. But if you want to get in, get out and get it done in 10-15 minutes, the K9000 will help make it happen. And bring the kids along - they love to help. Simple dog washing for families on the run!
Happy dog washing!

TROPICLEAN Shampoos - Naturally Green on Earth Day
Happy Earth Day folks! What's beautiful about being in this self serve dog wash business is that the K9000, naturally, is green. Let me tell you why:
1) Like car washes, our K9000 system minimizes the amount of water consumption by regulating water use... unlike washing a dog in the house or outside in the yard.
2) All waste water is grey water... just like the water going down your kitchen sink.
3) Our Tropiclean shampoo products are naturally green - what does that mean? click on this link to find out more: http://www.tropiclean.net/index.php
It's the little things that mean a lot... and that truly differentiates TMC Pet Vending Solutions and the K9000 from our competitors. We continue to move in the 'green' direction with our products and solutions.
Happy Earth Day all!

Marketing and Promotion is the key to K9000 dog wash success!
Look, we've been in this coin op self serve dog wash space for nearly 4 years now ... and although coin op dog washes are getting a lot of exposure in the media, most pet owners still don't know they exist. The #1 issue a new coin op self serve dog wash business faces is AWARENESS. Do pet owners know you are there? Face it, no one has seen this idea before so you must promote and market the concept to your local community... Our Midland, TX location has this figured out... they had to cease marketing efforts the past few months until they got their second machine up and running.
Don't expect to wash hundreds of dogs per month w/o getting involved with the local pet community and marketing your new service offering. Read this article published by Professional Carwashing & Detailing Magazine last month: http://carwash.com/article.asp?IndexID=6637191
It's a down economy, yes. But people are still washing their dogs. And using the K9000s at that... the key is marketing and awareness. If you need help, call us. Happy dog washing!

Financing your K9000 Dog Wash - PLEASE READ - Are you a START-UP?
If you are looking to finance your K9000 dog wash equipment over a certain number of years, please read this:
Financing approvals all depend on how long you have been in business. If you are a START UP business using the K9000 as part of your business model, you need to get funding from your local bank or other source. You will NOT get approved through our partner, eLease.
If you are a current business owner and have been successfully running your business for 2 years or more, our partner, eLease, is a viable option.
We have several clients reaching out to eLease for equipment leasing/financing and they are being declined because they have not been in business before.
eLease.com is only for current profitable businesses. Please make a note so you don't waste your time. Thank you. TMC Pet Vending Solutions Team

It takes more than a cheap tub and hose to be successful in the dog wash space...
TMC wants to thank everyone for taking the time to meet with us at the ICA show this past weekend. It's always a pleasure meeting our current and future clients face to face.
Be cautious of these imitations out there... the day has come as we expected where cheap models are being made from all over the world - these folks do not have any passion for the pet industry nor do they understand what it takes to run a successful dog wash business.
Look, TMC has realized the profit potential of these self serve dog wash vending machines for nearly 5 years... so now every manufacturer and distributor in the car wash industry is trying to get involved. It takes more than a cheap tub and hose to be successful in the dog wash space. We just hope that all of those business owners who are now tainted with the flawed system and all of the maintenance that come with these flawed tub systems will at the least visit one of our K9000 dog wash locations and truly see the differences for yourselves.
Thanks again for meeting with us! Cheers.
