Does Petco Have a Self-Service Dog Wash?
Some Petco stores have a self-service dog wash, but most don't. Petco has well over a thousand U.S. stores, and Find Dog Wash lists about 150 Petco stores plus about 30 Unleashed by Petco stores where we could confirm one.
Where Petco has a self-wash, the listings on this site almost all show $20 per wash, with shampoo, towels and a dryer included.
How to tell whether your Petco has one
This is where a lot of people get burned. Map listings and some Petco store pages show a long "selection of offerings" list that mentions a dog wash at stores that don't actually have one.
The reliable check is the short services sentence near the top of the store's own page on stores.petco.com. It reads something like "services including Full-Service Grooming, Dog Training, Vaccination Clinic…". If Self-Service Dog Wash is in that sentence, the store has one. If it isn't, it almost certainly doesn't, even if other sites say it does.
Every Petco on Find Dog Wash was checked this way. When in doubt, call the store.

Petco's full-service grooming salon is a separate service. A professional bath for a medium dog starts around $30 and goes up from there with size, coat and add-ons.
