D Magazine Features Bentley’s:
DIY Meets Dog
The area’s first indoor, coin-operated, self-serve pooch spa opens in Plano.
Those of us who take a do-it-yourself approach to dog maintenance don’t necessarily enjoy getting soaked, straining the back, wrestling with the hose, clogging the drain, or any of the other “pleasures” associated with keeping Spot spotless. Enter the newly opened Bentley’s in Plano.
The concept is simple. Give dog owners great equipment, great decor, and great music, and they will wash. “It’s an upscale, artsy place that makes washing your dog fun and easy,” says co-owner Katrina Wollenberg. Not bad for a place where dirty dogs come clean.
The owners spent $10,000 on each of the “private” washing bays. They offer a giant red tub (complete with tether, in case Fido’s feeling less than cooperative); vet-approved “product” (that’s a fancy word for shampoo); and a groovy, retro dial that counts down as you lather, rinse (and repeat, perhaps), and dry off your four-footed fur ball. Four of the tubs are waist-high with doggie ramps. The other two are down low, in case your dog’s a big one or the washer’s a little one. The cost of these fancy baths: $4 to $18.
You know, people dress up their pups in Burberry and bejewel them like hairy little royalty. So why wouldn’t they wash them in the lap of canine luxury? “We’re planning weekend wine and cheese happy hours,” says co-owner Michelle Musallam. Can doggy debutantes be far behind?
