Sophie Wasik gives 7-year-old Golden Retriever-Lab mix Casey a bath Saturday at the new Suds dog wash
in southwest Gainesville.
A dog-washing machine developed in Australia made its debut in Gainesville
on Saturday.
The device, now in place at the Scrubs car wash at 3135 SW 42nd St., can have
your pet washed, rinsed and dried in a matter of minutes, according to Mike
Wasik, 43-year-old co-owner of Scrubs dog wash.
“Weekends are more popular because people have more time,” Wasik said.
Scrubs uses a tub called a K9000, which has a clear covering that lets you keep
your dog in place in the tub.
The tub is in an enclosed dog-washing area that is surrounded by a white
picket fence, giving dogs the chance to run around after their wash.
