Nose to Tail

Nose to Tails is laid out in a bright, open warehouse space. The front consists of a store with various pet sundries, including a really nice (and precious!) assortment of gourmet treats, coat conditioners, and toys. Through a door is the main warehouse space. Racks of dog food occupy one corner. In the middle of the space is a large aquatic tub for use by visiting dogs. The far wall is lined with wash stalls. Low stalls for big dogs, and high stalls (reached by ramp) for smaller dogs so you don’t have to bend over and strain your back. In the back is a grooming area where you can have your dog clipped and trimmed or (I believe) do it yourself. The wash stalls are great. If you bring your own shampoo/​soap, you pay $ 20/​dog. This includes warm water out of a shower spray, access to a hose dryer, towels and wash cloths, grooming brushes, and plastic ponchos to keep yourself dry. Each stall is equipped with means for securing your dog if he or she is inclined to flee from a bath. I love this place. It’s clean, the staff are very helpful, and they have a good selection of ordinary to high-​end supplies for your best four-​legged friend. Highly recommended.
