Kent gets first self-service dog wash

A self-service dog wash has been installed at Leybourne Lakes Country Park in Snodland, Kent.

The self-service dog wash offers temperature-controlled warm water, a range of environmentally-friendly shampoos, and a two-speed dryer.

The machine, which is believed to be the first in the county, is being provided in partnership with Polygon Pets.

The park said: “We are delighted to announce the opening of our brand new dog wash machine located in the main car park next to the toilet block.

“We are very excited to host the first machine of its kind in Kent and hope that many of our visitors and dog lovers will make use of this facility in the coming weeks, months and years.”

The machine will be available all-year round.
