New York Magazine: Best of New York 2011: Help Yourself

Unleashed’s self-serve stations are the closest urbanites can get to a summer-afternoon-in-the-driveway doggie scrub-down. Your $19.99 buys access to pet shampoos, scrubbers, brushes, towels, a professional dryer, and a ramp-equipped stainless-steel tub. The setup accommodates even the most unwieldy of pets: The largest dog competing at Westminster this year, a 185-pound Newfoundland, came in for a preshow bath.

Unleashed Pet Spa offers grooming services and an array of toys and accessories for your dog. The retail area's wide-ranging wares include T-shirts, toys, Bella Bean collars and leashes, and plenty of shampoos and coat conditioners for every breed. But the best deal here is the self-service option: For $19, Unleashed provides a large tub, brushes, shampoos, and a professional groomer's dryer for owners to wash their pets themselves. The option particularly appeals to budget-conscious owners with large dogs that are difficult to wrangle into an apartment bathtub. The grooming space is clean and low-key, accommodating no more than three dogs at one time. Newly fluffed pooches receive treats on the way out.

It was a rainy Sunday afternoon and I needed to exercise /socialize my 9 lb dog somehow, so I decided to check out Unleashed Pet Spa. After using the self-service tub to bathe my pooch, I decided to have the professional groomer clean up his face...she was great and so patient with my squirmer. After we were finished I stayed to chat with the owner while my dog romped around the boutique with her two adorable little dogs. This is the first time I have felt compelled to write a review and happy that I have the option. This place is a good example of a neighborhood business...friendly and welcoming. I left there feeling like a made new friends...so did my dog. I highly recommend taking advantage of what they have to offer and keep our good neighborhood businesses in business.

Finally! Another self-service dog wash in NYC! Unleashed has a really pleasant atmosphere and is run by friendly dog lovers who are really helpful and will guide you through the process. Basically they let you use a professional grooming tub equipped with a rubberized ramp to get your pup in and out. The whole thing is in a private glassed-in area so there are no distractions. There's an attachment for your dog's collar so they'll hold still while you wash them. There is a hand-held spray nozzle with adjustable temperature, a selection good quality shampoos, a blow dryer, a waterproof apron, and towels. It's a top-notch setup that will get you a clean and happy dog for not a lot of money.

Friendly, helpful staff even in self-service dog wash. Reasonable prices and my dog loved it. We will be regulars here. They are open on Sundays which is a big plus! The facilities are clean and I can't say enough how great the staff is.
