Tractor Supply Co. — Attraction in Crescent City

Used their doggie wash station for the first time to wash my Collie. Pros: the wash station is a good size, plenty of room for my dog and right around waist high. Spray nozzle excellent along with good water pressure and lots of warm water. Good selection (different types) of shampoos and even had a conditioner detangler which was great for our Collie. They gave me a couple of nice and thick towels to wipe down the dog.

The Cons: there is a ramp for the dog to help get him/ her from the ground and into the tub. The ramp pulls out and slides in but it is pretty steep for my dog and when he put his front paws on it it slid back in. If you pull it out too far the rollers come out of the track and it falls down flat on the ground. They had dog leads on a ring to clip on your dog but there was only a clip on one end and was attached to the ring nothing on the dogs end and even if there was you had to use your dogs collar so it would end up getting wet. The drain mat that covers the entire bottom is made of hard plastic do was a little slick when the dog moved around a little. They have what they call a dog dryer. It's just an over size blower that has a variable speed control on it. It just blows cold air, does not blow warm or hot air. So with a dog like a Collie your never going to be able to blow dry him.

Neutral: the price of $9.99 seemed to be a fair price to me. I don't know if they do it now but maybe they could offer seniors a discount on washing their dog or give them a program like, wash your dog five times and the sixth is free.

Would I go back again? Sure with just a couple of negative things going on it sure beat trying to get the dog into the bathtub at home and I can stand up...

Traveling through CC and needed to bathe my 2 small shihtzu, I stopped by TSC to try out the self service. As a professional dog groomer, I was super impressed with the tub, good water pressure, hydraulic table and force blower. I received 2 clean towels and the space was fairly clean during our visit. The reason for only 3 stars was due to the shampoo situation and the way it was handled by the staff. I did not bring our personal shampoo on our trip so planned to use what was supplied. As I looked at the items provided there was 1/2” of highly diluted product in the gallon jugs. I requested a fresh container to use as to avoid bacterial infections from being mixed with water for over 24/48 hours. I could not risk a skin infection from these products. I was told that this is all they have. I was told I had to purchase a bottle from the shelf. I did share with the staff who came in while I was bathing that it was very risky for guests to use that product and that I had previously worked in a self-serve grooming environment that used the product and mixed for the clients in mixing bottles to avoid bacterial infections, the product bottles were sanitized after use, then reused. It did not seem to be of concern to them unfortunately. My advise, bring shampoo from home or buy a bottle to keep your canines...
