Un-freaking Believable!!!

From the second I walked through the front door and was hit by the CLEAN smell, making me think I was a human spa instead of a dog wash, I knew I found the new dog wash for my best friend, Casey! Normally she hates bath time, but the staff of Heavenly Dog put her at ease with yummy treats while we waited. They took my coat, gave me a chair and a magazine, as well as a list of shampoos to choose from. I chose the light coat brigtening one, even though Casey is brindle, because it's made with lavendar and smells GREAT, along with the cherry conditioner.

We had to wait a bit, but that's to be expected in such a cool place. When a tub freed up, they cleaned it very well, and then assisted me with my less than enthused victim. Being a boxer/Akita mix, Casey is big and threatening looking to some, but the helper (I never got her name), spoke dog, and wasn't afraid of my sweetie. Once up the sturdy ramp and into the tub, we found the water pressure and temperature to be spot on, the shampoo to be full of lather, but also easy to rinse out, and the conditioner to be awesome! So much hair came out in the tub!!!

BUT WAIT! There's more! The chamois they have are incredible! I swear my dog was practically dry from these magic towels, even before we turned the blow dryer on. The blow dryer doesn't get hot, but it blows super hard, blowing all the loose hair out of the dog's coat and all over the shop. And I do mean ALL OVER the shop. I felt terrible but the worker just kept saying, "no, no, that's why you come here!". it takes a while to dry an Akita mix, but it was so worth it! Casey was so soft and fluffy and her coat was super duper shiny!!

By the time I finished with the brushes (they have a slew of them at your disposal), the mess I made was all cleaned up by the girl working. She was smiling, talking, and giving out doggie treats the entire time she was sweeping the globs of hair flying off my dog. I never felt so good about making such a huge mess before in my life.

This place is da bomb!

• Pros: Great staff, super clean, amazingly friendly
• Cons: none! It's all good, baby!

GREAT place!

This place is amazing! I've been coming here for seven years, and have never experienced anything but friendly service from the owner and the staff. Suzy has many great tips for dog training, and even gave me a quick free session once - it improved my dog's life immeasurably! There is no better dog wash than Heavenly Dog, no better trainer than Suzy.

• Pros: super clean, knowledgeable and friendly staff
• Cons: parking is tight

Terrible dryers

by DenverChick at Citysearch

The place was clean, but the drying area is just a small platform at the base of the tub. The tiny little dryer was useless for drying my long hair dog. After 30 minutes of trying to dry him, I gave up and left with him still wet. You have to reach over the tub area to turn the dryer off or on, and I could barely reach it. Very bad configuration for a self-serve dog wash. I tried them because they were open on Sundays, but I won't be back.

• Pros: Clean, open on Sundays
• Cons: Small drying area, useless dryers
