What is a Wash Dog?

A Wash Dog is a self-service wash station for dogs, available without an appointment. Installed in the Intermarché Carnac car park, this outdoor unit lets you wash your pet simply and quickly.

Everything is provided on site: a secure non-slip tub, warm water, special dog shampoo, a full rinse and a warm-air dryer. All you bring is your dog and, if you like, a towel.

How does it work?

Step 1: settling in

Your dog walks into the tub through a wide door. The non-slip floor prevents slipping. Short chains hold your dog comfortably in place during the wash.

Step 2: a complete wash

The cycle includes:

  • Pre-wash: warm water to wet the coat

  • Shampoo: a pH-neutral, hypoallergenic product

  • Rinse: clean warm water removes all residue

  • Drying: gently warm blown air

Duration: 8-15 minutes depending on size and coat. A medium-sized dog takes about 10 minutes.

All types of dog welcome

The Wash Dog welcomes all dogs of all sizes:

  • Small dogs (under 10 kg): Yorkshire Terrier, Chihuahua, Bichon

  • Medium dogs (10-30 kg): Beagle, Cocker Spaniel, Cavalier King Charles

  • Large dogs (over 30 kg): Labrador, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd

All coats: short, long, curly or double-coated. Programmes can be adjusted to suit your needs.

Please note: for their own wellbeing, the station is not recommended for aggressive dogs or dogs with severe anxiety.

Handy for holidaymakers

In Carnac, between beaches, dunes and coastal paths, dogs get dirty quickly. The Wash Dog is the perfect answer:

After the beach

Ingrained sand, irritating salt, that seaweed smell – all gone in 10 minutes. Your dog is clean and looking great.

After the coastal paths

Mud, sticky grass seeds, dust – a full rinse restores the coat.

Regular upkeep

Over a 1-2 week stay, keep your dog clean without any hassle. Campers particularly appreciate it, as it saves them dirtying the campsite washrooms.
