[Explanation] With the advent of the dog days, many pet lovers increase the frequency of bathing and showering their pets in order to keep their pets clean and help them escape the heat.
On the morning of July 21st, in a 24-hour self-service pet washing shop in Chengdu, Sichuan, many pet owners lined up to give their dogs the coolness of summer.
[Explanation] In this pet washing shop of about 50 square meters, there are two self-service bathing cabins. The cabins are equipped with bathing pools, blow-drying stations, blow-drying machines and other facilities. Consumers only need to scan the code to enter the cabins.
In order to let consumers understand the self-service pet washing process, a pet washing flow chart is posted on the wall of the store, and there is also a pet washing tutorial in the bath cabin.

Generally, if a (pet) owner comes, he first scans the code and enters the bathing cabin, and then disinfects the environment in the cabin.
The shower nozzle can be replaced with a water type, and the bath water is constant temperature.
There is a water blower next to it. Generally, after the bath, it is recommended that the owner blow the water first, blow off the excess water first, blow it to two-thirds of it, and then take it out to the dryer to dry.
There are also disposable aprons and bath towels on the dryer, which the owner can use according to their needs.
[Explanation] According to the clerk, the self-service pet washing shop opened in May this year and is open 24 hours a day. Fees are charged according to the length of pet bathing and drying. The store provides free toiletries, deodorant, hair dryer and other essential products .

If the owner takes a bath by himself (for the pet), he is more at ease and reduces the stress response of the pet.
Generally, small dogs cost about 10 to 20 yuan, medium dogs 20 to 30 (yuan), and large dogs generally cost 40 to 60 yuan.
This price is half cheaper than traditional pet shops.
[Explanation] After bathing the two pet dogs, the pet owner Zhang Jialin pressed the end billing button on his mobile phone.
Backstage shows that this time he spent a total of 34 yuan.

I have raised a dog for four or five years and have never heard of the self-service (pet washing) industry. I think it is quite novel, so I will try it myself.
Like washing a dog at home, it will be very tired and troublesome, and it will be very wet all over.
When you come here to wash your dogs, you will find all kinds of facilities here, as well as dryers, water blowing machines, and all kinds of machines (devices).
Wash the dog yourself, the price is not so expensive.
If you usually go to a pet shop, like a larger Samoyed, you can wash it for 80 (yuan) once, and you can get it here at only 20 or 30 (yuan).
It also cultivated the intimacy and tacit understanding between me and the dog, and the fun of raising a pet was also reflected.
