Welcome to Dog Wash Nation!

We’re Colleen and Ronda, the team behind this site and the founders of Doggowash, a thriving self-serve dog wash business based in sunny San Diego. Over the past five years, we’ve grown Doggowash from a single parking lot location to four Doggowash self-serve dog wash locations across the city, serving thousands of happy dogs each year.

Our journey started in 2018 during a trip to Australia, where we discovered the k9000 self-serve dog wash concept. This idea brought light into our lives during a challenging time, and we returned home inspired to bring the convenience and joy of self-serve dog washes to the U.S. With determination and the support of family and friends, we opened our first Doggowash in 2019, and throughout this journey, we’ve been approached by countless people asking for advice on starting their own self-serve dog wash businesses.

We realized there was a need for a central resource to answer these questions, share our learnings, and provide tips and tools for success. That’s why we created Dog Wash Nation—to be a one-stop hub for aspiring entrepreneurs and dog lovers alike.

Through this site, we’re excited to share everything we’ve learned along the way, from finding the right equipment to building a business that truly serves your community. Whether you’re here to explore self-serve dog wash machines, learn how to launch your own business, or find resources to support your journey, we’re here to help.

We also invite you to join our Facebook community, “How To Start A Self Serve Dog Wash Business“—a dedicated space where we share insights, tips, and specific steps on how to start your very own self-serve dog wash. In addition, we offer a comprehensive 6-week coaching program that walks you through all the details you need to know to get started with your own self-serve dog wash business. From the initial planning to the grand opening, we’ll guide you step-by-step through the entire process.

Thank you for being part of our journey. With the right tools and guidance, you too can turn your passion for dogs into a rewarding business you’ll love!
