Aussie Pooch Mobile Dog Wash helping to decrease a dog’s environmental footprint

Humans and animals alike all share this planet, and we all must look after it.

Pet grooming franchise Aussie Pooch Mobile Dog Wash offers a way for dogs to help decrease their environmental footprint and do their part for the earth.

The dog wash franchise has been operating for 17 years and has 175 dog wash franchises all over the world. Environmentally aware dogs and their owners are choosing Aussie Pooch Mobile Dog Wash for the company’s commitment to the environment, and for their philosophy of ‘we care’.

The dog wash franchise network takes measures to be water-wise and all products used are environmentally friendly so they won’t harm the dogs, the operators or the environment.

Chris Taylor, founder of the pet care franchise said, “When I founded Aussie Pooch Mobile in 1991, my key concern was making things better for dogs and the environment.”

“A water savvy way of washing pets was essential and the hydrobath ticked all the boxes while ensuring the dogs were clean. In fact, today hydrobathing your dog only uses 20 litres of water, which is a substantial water saving. With the majority of our customers having their pooches washed every two weeks this amounts to less than two litres of water per day. A lot less than using the old hose and bucket.

All products used by Aussie Pooch mobile dog wash franchise network are PH selected especially for dogs' skin. Natural ingredients include:

• Pine oil
• Tea tree oil
• Rosemary
• Lavender
• Vitamin E
• Coconut oil
• Neem oil

“One of the requirements in of code of practice relates to how the water and solution is released into the environment,” explains Chris. “It is never put down storm water drains and the water is distributed onto the garden or grass area so it is not wasted.

“I am very passionate about the environment as I want my children and their children’s children and their pets to have the benefit of this wonderful world in years to come,” says Chris.
