Frequently Asked Questions

Self-Service Dog Wash

What is a self-service dog wash?
It's everything you need except the mess. Save your bath tub, towels, and time.  Hound & Cat provides premium shampoos perfect for their coat; clean, fresh towels; the perfect temperature water, sanitized tubs, and cozy blowers so your pup will leave with a dry & silky-smooth coat. Come on in. Our great staff will walk you through washing your four-legged friend.

Do I need an appointment?
Yes, we require an appointment as walk-ins are currently not accepted. 

What kind of premium shampoo do you use?
Hound & Cat uses Premium Earthbath® shampoos. Using the right shampoo, that's pH balanced and formulated for your furry companion will ensure their sensitive skin is being protected. We are also proud to offer Skout's Honor probiotic shampoos as an upgrade during bathtime.

Can I give my dog a blowout in the wash area?
Sorry; we don't allow blowouts on certain breeds, like Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes & those with similar dense coats.

What if my puppy got skunked?
Don't panic, but let's get moving. It may be very unpleasant, but your pup may find it a little more than just unpleasant. According to the ASPCA, they recommend the following:
  • 1 quart (4 cups) of 3% fresh hydrogen peroxide
  • ¼ cup baking soda
  • 1-2 teaspoons of liquid soap (dishwashing detergent).

Spread throughout and avoid the eyes, then thoroughly rinse your pup.  Follow the ASPCA's instructions here. Once your pup has been treated, bring her on in to give her a cozy bath, and a nice blow dry.

Why go with limited-ingredient name-brand foods?
Great question! It's simple - canines and felines, like their pawrents, have sensitive bellies, especially with certain ingredients. By removing fillers, byproducts, and overworked ingredients; you're giving your furbaby what they may find in the wild. Of course, we recommend you consult your vet before making drastic changes or if you suspect your pal has a food allergy.

Why feed raw?
Dogs & cats are carnivores! Let's give them what is biologically appropriate for their needs. Feeding our pets raw meat has so many benefits. The first physical change you will see will be in their coat, as the protein and fats from raw meat will work together to allow the pet to grow a healthy coat. You will notice a change in the dental hygiene of your pet as raw meat produces amylase in the saliva which breaks down sugars and starches in the mouth that lead to plaque, tartar, etc. Raw meat diets are not cooked; cooking the food destroys the vitamin, mineral and enzyme content that is needed for a healthy diet. And an added bonus; a change in your pet's stool. When a pet is fed raw food, they are actually digesting their food and making better use of the nutrients from it, so there is less waste.

Will a raw diet make my dog aggressive?
A raw meat diet will not cause or worsen any behavioral problems in your dog. Aggression is a behavioral issue, not a dietary issue.
