How much does a self-service dog wash machine cost in the UK?
With Woof Wash, a self-service dog wash machine costs £10,995 to buy outright, £350 a month on a 48-month lease, or minimal setup cost on profit share, where you keep 40% of revenue. Installation and a 2-year parts and labour warranty are included with every option.
How much space does a self-service dog wash machine need?
The unit is 2000mm wide, 681mm deep and 1755mm tall. If it needs a shelter, allow a footprint of 2400 × 1700mm. That fits comfortably on most forecourts, garden centres, car parks and retail sites.
What does a dog wash machine need to be installed?
A cold-water feed with a ¾-inch screw-fit outlet at 2–4 bar, a nearby drain connection, and a 240V single-phase 32A supply with a rotary isolator. Our specialist installation team will assess your site and advise. See the installation page for details.
How much does each dog wash cost to run?
Around 6p for water, 9–13p for electricity and 40p for consumables, plus 2.95% card processing. On profit share, consumables and card processing are shared with us.
How much can a self-service dog wash machine earn?
On average, a unit brings in £3,200 to £5,400 a month, and high-performing sites exceed £10,000. Try your own figures in our earnings calculator.
Can I buy a dog wash machine outright?
Yes. You can own the machine for a one-off £10,995. There's no monthly fee and you keep 100% of the revenue. Installation and our 2-year parts and labour warranty are included.
Can the dog wash machine carry my own branding?
Yes. The machine is fully customisable. We'll help you design the graphics and decals, so it can be branded completely to your specification.
Should I lease, buy or profit share a dog wash machine?
Profit share suits sites that want the lowest setup cost and no monthly fee. A lease, at £350 a month over 48 months, suits sites expecting steady use that want to keep all the revenue. Buying outright suits businesses that want to own the asset outright. Compare the options, or talk it through with us.
Is a free website really included?
Yes. Every partner gets a website designed around their business, which they can update at any time. It's optimised for search engines (SEO) and AI answer engines (AEO), so customers can find you on Google and in assistants like ChatGPT. The domain and hosting are free for the first year, and your site is also listed in the Woof Wash directory and on our map.
Who maintains the dog wash machine?
On profit share and lease, we do. Every installation also comes with a 2-year parts and labour warranty, plus ongoing support and technical help.
Does an outdoor dog wash machine need a shelter?
Only if the station is going outdoors. A timber shelter protects the machine and keeps customers dry, and we can supply one for an additional cost.
