I was nervous bringing in our rescue dog for an urgently needed bath after she went exploring in mud and muck. She was pretty nervous but we were able to get it done easily! The owner couldn't have been kinder or more patient with my 3 talkative curious kids! We will be back soon! What a great local service to have available!

Made our first trip to The Soapy Spot with our two, big, energetic dogs. It was a great experience and we will definitely be heading back! Service was great and they explained the equipment, which is all new, easy to use, and effective. Our dogs settled in, got cleaned up, and we bought them dome treats on the way out. Too easy!

This place is a gorgeous boutique. The owner is so kind and welcoming and supplies everything you need. An apron, brushes, combs, wipes, towels and stool can be found in each stall. They also have endless toys and treats for the pups!

I had the best time washing a dog I have ever had. My dog hates dogs and hates baths. Kevin is an amazingly genuine kind person. The place is immaculate.it is easy to bathe your dog. My dog didn't fuss at all, it was just a terrific experience.

My husband and I took our puppy here today after finding it on Facebook and could not have been happier! John was so nice and walked us through the process of using the dog washing machine and it was great. Everything we needed for the wash was included and it could not have been easier. We will absolutely be back!

This place is the best! The owner is super helpful and incredibly friendly! Guides you through the process and makes sure your dog and yourself are comfortable with the wash system prior to use. The store is very clean and offers a great selection of toys and dog snacks etc etc.The complimentary espresso is a plus!

Our new favorite spot for DIY washes. Kevin, the owner, is a great guy and knows how to run a business with wholesome customer service. Having heard many horror stories involving dog grooming, I'm very particular about who I would trust with my Czech working line German Shepherd Dog, Delta... which is why I tend to prefer the DIY washes.I am no stranger to washing my own dog, whether it be at home in our shower or at one of the many local DIY spots. What sets The Soapy Spot apart (besides the customer service), is the Cyberwash 3000. The name in and of itsself hooked me with the cool cyberpunk marketing, but the design and functionality of the machine makes this the easiest, quickest, and cleanest DIY wash I have used.The machine is completely self-contained, so there is no need to move your dog to a drying area, which reduces stress and time. It's simple to use (push a button for soap, conditioner, rinse, dry, etc.). The walls are all stainless steel, and it gets disinfected after each use. The water temperature is pre-set to a perfect warmth. The soap is unscented/hypoallergenic. The dryer has a low and a high setting, and there is ample room for even my 80lb GSD to turn around. There is a ramp to walk up, but my 2yo pup was able to jump right up. The wash platform is padded and drains easily. It did not get clogged with hair when I used it. The only issue I had was that it takes a while for the soap to come through the lines (and for the soap to purge when it's time to rinse), but it only took about 20 seconds.Overall I would rate this as the best DIY wash I have used, again for the ease of use and how everything is self-contained.The store only carries high end treats, toys, and snacks. I recognized all of the brands as being top tier, which again leads me to believe the owner really knows his stuff. Names like Kong, Outward Hound/Nina Ottoson, and safer chews like Himalayan cheese sticks and Water Buffalo horns (we now know that rawhide chews are not very good for dogs). There is a baked treat bar as well a dehydrated treat bar with things like bully sticks, chicken feet, and other jerkys.All in all this is my favorite new grooming boutique, and even though we do most of our shopping online to save money, we're willing to forego that in order to patronize and support a small local business. Thanks again, Kevin! Delta will be back!

This handsome guy just got back from his first but definitely not last visit to the Soapy Spot. He came out clean, shiny and smelling great. And I came out DRY! They do provide aprons but those fancy stations are designed to make them pretty much unnecessary! Kevin the owner was a total sweetheart and made the entire experience a delightful one. The store is also stocked with high quality but reasonably priced pet supplies. We left with a bag full of treats from the mix and match treats bar (that had plenty that were soft enough for our little old man who has had most of his teeth out), a new collar, and a bunch of ideas for Christmas presents for all the other canine friends in our extended family. A gem of a spot that we will be returning to for sure!

Absolutely loved this experience! The machine is easy, quick, and affordable! You don’t even after to clean up the mess! My dog enjoyed the experience and he was so shiny after. We shopped around for a treat after since my dog Franklin was so well behaved. The owner is so friendly and seems so excited about his business! He was very knowledgable about the treats and bones. 10/10 recommend!

I took my dog, Maggie, to the Soapy Spot today for the first time. The shop was clean and offers the self-service dog wash as well as dog treats, collars, etc.Maggie is dog-reactive and we both appreciated that each dog wash area has a door between the wash basin and the rest of the stor; I could bathe Maggie and dry her off without her seeing other dogs walk by. She was relaxed (well, as relaxed as a dog having a bath could be :) ) and didn't seem to mind the bath.The wash system couldn't have been more convenient and user friendly! Push a button and the soap comes out of the spray hose. Push another button and the clean rinse water comes out of the same hose. There are also options for conditioner and for a flea shampoo. Plush towels rounded out the bathing experience!Kevin, the owner, was fabulous. I went in the store first without Maggie as I wanted to see the layout and bath area before I brought her in (scoped out the place for other dogs, too). I explained to Kevin that Maggie is dog-reactive and he immediately understood my concerns. He asked me to bring Maggie in from the car and he'd stand guard so that she could go straight to the bath and not encounter another dog. He complimented her and gave her treats and a bum scratch to help her feel comfortable.Maggie and I will definitely be back.Nothing but excellent things to say about this new business!
