Dog wash service starts

 

A new mobile dog wash and grooming service has started for the Peninsula.

Janelle Stringer of Bensville, a long term resident of the Central Coast and life long dog lover, has grown up with dogs calls on some 30 years of experience.

She has worked at a dog kennel, with some time spent in management of the facility, handling tasks such as bathing and walking the animals, as well as fielding customer enquiries.

Janelle has trained Golden Retrievers and had them perform in show rings.

Janelle's service caters for all breeds.

"They're treated to a warm hydro bath with soap-free hypo-allergenic shampoo so as not to irritate the dog's skin, have a flea rinse, and are then blow dried and deodorized to keep them smelling nice and clean," she said.

"They also have their nails clipped and ears cleaned."

For excitable dogs, Janelle has muzzles available.

However she said that after a short time in the hydro bath dogs usually became relaxed and agreeable.
