Everyone's in a lather
about bathing pets at B&B Pet Stop! |
 |
Here's How it
works:
You must show proof of rabies vaccination to use the Pet
Wash-o-Matic.
Buy a program at the register.
Take your pet over to the Pet Wash-o-Matic and a B&B Pet Stop
employee will guide you through the process.
You will first THOROUGHLY brush the pet. You'll want to
remove as much loose hair as possible (loose hair can clog the
machine's filters).
The employee will run a cycle will sanitize the cabin.
THEN you simply open the glass door, put the pet inside the
well-lit, well-ventilated cabin, and start the bath cycle. |
 |
Thirty-six jets of warm water mixed with
either
regular shampoo (Program 1) or flea control shampoo
(Program 2) spiral and pulsate
out from the back,
both sides, the top and the bottom.
The pet is initially surprised, but within seconds it will settle down and enjoy the
spa-like hydro-massage. The machine will pause for two minutes so that the
shampoo can effectively clean the pet and the flea-control ingredient (if
appropriate) can take effect. A brief but thorough fresh water rinse cycle follows.
Just before the drying cycle begins,
the machine pauses again to gauge the
temperature of the cabin. Then the fans
start up for an 18-24 minute warm-air
drying cycle. We like to joke, "Notice there is no spin cycle!"There are many safety features built into the
machine. First - the machine will shut down if the water temperature
varies by 3 degrees - warmer or cooler. Second - at ANY time an owner can stop the
machine and take their pet out. Third- the machine drains continuously - it is not
like a bathtub, it is more like a shower - so even the shortest pets can jump in and
enjoy a circulation -boosting hydro-massage! Before each use, the machine
automatically runs a sanitation cycle so that it is always clean for the next pet.
- Why use an automatic pet washing machine? Since there is no scrubbing motion involved with this system, the
natural protective oils on the pet's skin are not compromised and a pet can be washed more
frequently. Even more importantly, YOU stay dry! Think how great this will be
when it's cold outside - or for older pet owners who can't handle their pets in the
bathtub. They can sit down and relax while the machine does all the work!
A word about bathing a CAT in the Pet Wash-o-Matic: Generally speaking, cats don't like water and don't want to be
bathed. A cat in the Pet Wash-o-Matic will leap around when the jets first start
since they are startled and can't "escape" the water. This can be
surprising and cause anxiety in the pet-owner. We ask pet-owners to take a deep
breath and wait a minute or two. The machine is completely safe and there is NO
reason to stop the cycle. We've found that although cats seem unhappy at first, they
usually calm down within a few minutes and will patiently
"endure" the shampoo and rinse cycle and meow loudly during the
drying cycle. By the time the cat is dry they are usually
completely calm.

SAVE YOUR BACK! Our stainless
steel tubs are at waist height – no more BENDING over a bathtub at
home! And they have “on-ramps” so you don’t have to lift your
pet. Each tub also has a “booster” platform so you don’t have to
lean over to bathe small dogs.
WE CLEAN UP!
The worst
part of bathing your pet at home is the mess! At B&B Pet Stop – you
can be as messy as you need to be – bathe and dry your pet then
just walk away from the mess! WE CLEAN UP! That’s so great let’s
just say it again:
WE CLEAN UP!
SAVE YOUR TOWELS!
Use ours!
Don’t use your fancy bath towels at home – use our industrial
strength pet drying towels. (pssst! you can even leave it in a
wet heap on the floor – we don’t care!) Warm air blow
dryers are available to safely dry any pet.
SHAMPOO
Each bath includes a 1 oz. bottle of BioGroom shampoo
at no extra charge. Additional 1 oz. bottle are available for
$1.00 each or bring your own from home!
RAIN OR SHINE
Hot or cold.
Our “Do it Yourself” Pet Wash Tubs are open 7 days a week – call
to reserve a spot or just walk in. No matter what the weather is
like outside – it’s always a whole lot easier to bathe your pet at
B&B Pet Stop! |

...where are the puppies and
kittens?
Since there are so many homeless pets, we've decided not to sell
dogs and cats, instead, every Thursday from 4 - 7 p.m.
we have a Weekly Pet Adoption Event.
Customers are encouraged to bring their litters of puppies and
kittens and others are encouraged to come in to select a new
pet. Customers must stay with the pets they bring in –
they cannot just drop them off here! Any pet not adopted must
go back home with the owner.
We set up this event on the front porch of our store – rain or
shine! We have an employee assigned to the event who
checks in adoptable pets as they arrive and has customers fill
out paper work as they adopt a pet. (The paperwork is
forwarded to the Mobile SPCA)
There is a $5.00 adoption fee, which is a donation to the Mobile
Animal Shelter’s spay / neuter program. We provide a
packet of basic, new-pet information about housebreaking, crate
training, premium pet foods, and flea control. A local vet
with whom we work very closely offers a certificate for a free
first exam and a $10 discounts on Spay/Neutering.
This event is a real crowd pleaser! We adopt out
approximately 20 pets per week and we’ve been sponsoring this
event for about ten years – so that means THOUSANDS of Mobilians
have gotten their pets from the weekly pet adoption at B&B
Pet Stop.
Looking for a particular breed of puppy or kitten?
There are so many good breeders along the Gulf Coast, so we
maintain a
breeder list with the names and telephone numbers of many of them. That way, our
customers can visit the home of the breeder to see the parents and select a puppy or
kitten from the entire litter. Want to be included? Call, fax (251-661-7387), or email (email@bbpetstop.com) your information including:
breed name, indicate stud or puppies, and telephone number.
In-Store Cat Adoption Program
sponsored by the Friends of the Mobile Animal
Shelter
At B&B Pet Stop, we are proud to present a truly
wonderful cat adoption opportunity in partnership with the
Friends of
the Mobile Animal Shelter. We provide the space and take
care of the cats while they are here in the store, but the Friends
of the Mobile Animal Shelter keeps the cages stocked with healthy,
adoptable cats and kittens. All kittens and cats have been
spayed or neutered, are current on all vaccinations, and have tested
negative for Feline Leukemia. The adoption fee is $85.00,
which includes a FREE bag of Science Diet Cat Food. Check out our cat adoption
album on
Facebook.
