The Dog Wash Etc

This place is amazing! I couldn’t rate it any higher - from cleanliness, to rates, to equipment, to their shop, to the STAFF. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Also a huge shout out to Evee, an employee I met today. They were super great! And so very knowledgeable, generous, and kind. I brought a foster dog here for a self-service bath. Everything was VERY clean, not even any smell throughout the whole shop! The rates are the fairest I’ve seen and there’s no time limit!. All of the equipment, from the tub to the WIDE selection of dog shampoos you can use all included in price you pay for the wash, are top notch. The electric grooming air dryer was also great! I was also super impressed with the selection and quality of dog food they offered in their shop, not to mention the prices were all great! Same with the collars, leashes, toys, treats, chews, and plenty of grooming supplies! I will be coming here often. Best self dog wash I’ve ever come across :

Great dog shop. You can clean your dog in several stalls installed on the walls--water is warm & you can clean your dog with a hose that offers the feature of warm water & shampoo and water. Towels available to dry dog after cleaning & warm air dryers as well. Shampoo, conditioner & sprays are available as well as the option of using your own stuff. Staff is friendly & knowledgeable--they welcome all types of dogs. Shop has available everything from dog treats to dog food, poop bags, toys, etc. 5 Stars.

The Dog Wash is a great place to wash your dog. They have everything you need to wash and groom. We have been going for years with 3 of our German Shepherds. Our Shepherds are very vocal about not wanting a bath, but the task is made easy do to the very clean, well stocked, and well designed bathing stations. The Dog Wash also has an amazing stock of pet food, treats, and supplies. Kenda is enjoying his antler he picked out.

The Dog Wash Etc is a neighborhood institution at this point. I have been going here since they opened the first self serve dog wash in Portland almost 20 years ago. The knowledgeable staff keeps my furry loves living their best life. Greg, the co-owner with his brother, is an expert on pet nutrition and he has helped me solve diet issues I had with my newest puppy. I highly recommend buying local for your pets and supporting this family owned business.

Since getting our puppy 3 months ago, it feels like we've been to every pet store within 7 miles of portland. Last weekend we went to The Dog Wash Etc., and now it is our favorite of all of the stores. It's clear that the products and staff are carefully and strategically chosen. The selection of products is very good and priced very fairly, but more importantly it seems they've chosen the "quality over quantity" model of running this local business. The women working at the store when we visited were wonderful. All knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive, they helped us find exactly what we needed, and led us to even better options than we'd originally hoped to find. We will continue to support this thoughtful local pet store. LOVE THIS PLACE!

I brought in my Chihuahua for a nail trim and was very impressed. Nina did not once nip or bark at the man who clipped them. He was very patient- gentle. They're so friendly. After 9 or 10 visits you get a free trim for your dog, what a deal. The owners love to interact with everyone's dogs. I found my new go to for her. I see how good they're with other animal's. Thanks to the man who did them, I forgot his name. He did a Beautiful job. It's a 5 yes for me.

We went here after Jill from Poetic Gold Dog Training suggested we find a front lead harness. We went in and were helped by Emma, who was nothing short of amazing. She sat with us and helped us find the perfect harness for our dog. She took the time to fit our dog with the harness, which was extremely helpful and something that we most certainly would have done incorrectly if we had done it on our own. She explained to us about registering our products and the benefits of doing so. She told us to walk around the store with the harness on and to feel free to even try it outside. She then helped us fit a jacket for our dog. The store was clean, well organized, and their items I felt were high quality and reasonably priced. This is not just a place for your dog to get a wash They do have stations for that as well!, but also a "ToyRUS per say for dogs. Loved the store and we will be back!

Update: The Dog Wash just moved into their new location. Much larger space and it appears that they have a larger selection of food, treats, and toys. You need to stop by, say hello, and check out the new spot. In the same plaza, just a couple of doors down. The new wash bays are beautiful, can't wait to try em out. Great owners with an awesome staff that truly loves dogs. Been going to them for years, and will continue with "Henry", the latest addition to our family. Henry and I are always happy to visit the fine folks at Portland Dog Wash!!

The folks there are awesome. My dog prefers his nails cut while standing on the floor. These folks get down for his comfort.

Excellent staff, incredibly knowledgeable, fair prices. I have a large breed dog that’s loaded with trauma and triggers around grooming. The staff here is able to effortlessly engage with him to trim his nails in a safe manor. Really impressive!
