Wet floors. Hair everywhere. A dog trying to escape the bath. And somehow there is water on the ceiling.

And because you pay by the minute, you don't have to choose between rushing your dog through a wash or paying for more time than you need.
Take 10 minutes. Take 20. Take 35. It's completely up to you.
