PetWash Max — Commercial Self-Serve Dog & Cat Wash Machine
Turn foot traffic into extra passive income with our automatic self-serve pet wash station.

- Full wash and dry in about 30 minutes
- Kills 99.9% of germs in a 4-minute self-clean
- Sensors watch the pet, so the door can’t stay locked

How the Self Serve Pet Wash Machine Works
You don’t have to lift a finger. Just let the machine run itself through these four steps below, and you collect the revenue.
Pay & select
The customer taps a card, drops in coins, or scans a QR code, then picks wash-and-dry or dry-only right on the 21.5-inch touchscreen.
~30 seconds
Load the pet
The pet climbs in through the main door, and the owner watches the whole cycle through the window. The second door stays shut — it holds the manual tools, not the pet.
~1 minute
Wash & dry
The machine runs a full seven-step wash with warm, hydrogen-rich water and a gentle shampoo with no added perfume, then dries the pet quietly at 65 dB or below.
~30 minutes
Self-disinfect
Ozone, infrared, and UV-C disinfect the cabin for four minutes while hair and waste water are cleared away, so it’s ready for the next pet.

Automatic Pet Wash Cabin vs. Open Dog Wash Tub vs. Staffed Bay
Pet owners already pass your door. The three formats differ in what every single wash costs you — in labor, cleaning, and open hours.
| Open self-serve tub | Staffed wash bay | PetWash Max | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Washes the pet without a person | ✕ owner sprays it | ✕ 45–60 staff minutes | ✓ fully automatic |
| No staff time per wash | ✕ tub cleaned each time | ✕ | ✓ self-cleans in 4 minutes |
| Keeps hair out of your drains | ✕ top operator complaint | ✕ staff clear it | ✓ collected every cycle |
| Drying stays under 65 dB | ✕ open dryers pass 100 dB | ✕ varies | ✓ |
| Water held at 38 °C on its own | ✕ | ✕ staff-controlled | ✓ PID, ±2 °C |
| Floor stays dry | ✕ splash zone | ✕ splash zone | ✓ sealed cabin |
| Earns overnight | ✕ | ✕ closes with your staff | ✓ 24/7 unattended |
| Manual water gun and dryer for touch-ups | ✕ | ✓ your staff | ✓ second door |
The open-tub column is what tub operators themselves report on owner forums — cleaning after every wash, hair in the drains, odor control. The sealed cabin was designed to delete exactly those jobs.
Key Features of Our Commercial Self-Serve Dog & Cat Wash Machine
Every feature is designed to keep the pet safe, or keep the machine running without you.
Sealed cabin keeps pets calm
Fresh air circulates inside while outside noise stays out, and the owner watches through the window the whole time.
Enclosed cabin · viewing windowWater held at 38 °C, cut-off at 42 °C
PID control keeps bath water at 38 °C ± 2 °C. If water or air passes 42 °C, an NTC sensor cuts the power at once.
38 °C ± 2 °C · 0.1–0.5 MPaDries a small dog in 30 minutes
Dual-duct circulation blows evenly from multiple outlets at 65 dB or less. Many rivals run past 100 dB and scare the pet.
Dual duct · ≤65 dB · ~40% fasterA real disinfection cycle, not a slogan
Ozone, infrared, and UV-C run 4 full minutes after each order and kill 99.9% of germs.
3 methods · 4 min · every cycleA pet can never be locked in
Millimeter-wave radar and infrared sensors watch for vital signs. No signal for 30 seconds and the door unlocks itself.
Radar + infrared · 30 s auto-unlockEmergency stop on the panel
One press halts everything. Abnormal events push an alert to your phone at the same time.
Physical e-stop · push alertsHydrogen-rich water, no harsh fragrance
Hydrogen-infused water calms skin inflammation and itching. We deliberately skip perfume and essential-oil sprays — they damage pets’ livers and kidneys, especially cats’. The gentle shampoo itself leaves a light, fresh scent, so pets come out healthy and smelling good.
Exclusive · safe for catsHair and waste water handled
The machine collects hair and used water after each wash, so drains stay clear without manual cleaning.
Automatic every cycleTakes payment 80+ ways through Nayax
It works with Nayax terminals across North America and Europe, and runs just as easily standalone or fully networked.
Nayax terminal · NayaxSteel that still looks new in year ten
The cabinet is international-standard steel and holds its paint through ten years of sun and rain. Cheaper cabinets can look shabby after two winters outside. The floor plate is hand-made, thick and rounded rather than machine-pressed and thin, so paws sit on it comfortably wash after wash.
10 years outdoors · hand-made floor plateRoom to turn around, not just fit
A pet can turn, stand and shift its weight inside the cabin instead of being wedged in one position for half an hour. Our team climbed in to check the space and the safety before the machine went on sale — a floor plan will not tell you how it feels in there.
Space checked in personSoftware already proven in daily use
The screen, the packages and the backend have run in our own pet wash stores for years, so the awkward bugs were found by our staff rather than your customers. Our own engineers keep it moving, and updates install remotely — the machine keeps improving after it lands.
Field-proven · remote updatesOne dashboard runs your whole business
One dashboard gives you live machine status, revenue per unit, and a multi-store view, along with full control over pricing, orders, members, and coupons. Software updates install by themselves, so you never need a service visit.
12 admin functions · OTA updatesEvery Way Your Customers Can Pay
The PetWash Max takes payment through a Nayax terminal, the standard for unattended machines in North America and Europe. Your local acquirer decides which channels are switched on.

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, Discover, Diners Club and UnionPay, plus Interac in Canada. Customers can swipe the magnetic stripe, insert the chip, or simply tap.
Swipe · chip · tapPhone wallets
Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay, along with the bank wallets your customers already use across Europe, Australia and North America. One tap and the wash starts.

Alipay and WeChat Pay for Chinese visitors, PayPal and Venmo across the Americas, and local QR schemes such as Bluecode in German-speaking Europe.

Pet Wash Machine ROI: What One Unit Can Earn

Night hours count.
A staffed bay earns nothing after closing, but this machine keeps selling even at 11 p.m.
Dry-only is a second product.
Owners who wash their pet at home still pay for a fast, quiet dry, and it’s a high-margin, quick-turnaround add-on for you.

Example only, not a promise. The real number moves with your location, your pricing and your local costs.
| Slow site | Steady site | Busy site | |

Industry reference points, so you can sanity-check us: published operator reports put the average machine at about $17,000 a year, and one states $15,000 average annual profit per unit with a 12–24 month payback. Our factory-direct price makes the payback math friendlier.

Self Serve Pet Wash Machine FAQ
Anything missing? Ask us — we reply within one business day.
Can it wash cats, not just dogs?
Yes. The cabin was designed with cats and anxious pets in mind. Noise is what frightens a cat in a bath, and a hand-held force dryer runs past 100 dB — our drying stays at 65 dB or below. The cabin is sealed and quiet, the water holds at 38 °C, a life-detection sensor watches the whole cycle, and nobody has to hold the cat down. We have full-cycle footage of a Ragdoll and a British Blue staying calm through the whole wash — ask and we will send it.
Does it need staff on site?
No. Payment, washing, drying, and disinfection run unattended. The backend alerts your phone if the machine needs attention. Operators mostly visit to restock consumables.
What does installation require?
Mains water, a drain, and 220–240 V or 110–120 V power, whichever your country uses. The weatherproof steel cabinet runs indoors or in the open air, from −10 °C to 55 °C.
How do customers pay?
Coins, bank cards, or QR codes, depending on the configuration. Nayax terminals are supported for North America and Europe. The machine works standalone or networked.
What if a pet panics mid-wash?
The e-stop button halts the cycle instantly. The radar and infrared sensors unlock the door on their own if no vital signs show for 30 seconds. The owner watches through the window the whole time.
How does it stay clean between pets?
After every order it runs ozone, infrared, and UV-C for 4 minutes — 99.9% of germs killed — and clears hair and waste water. No staff involved.
What is the lead time and minimum order?
Production is 25 business days for samples and volume alike. We ship by sea as standard, and by courier when a site opening is fixed to a date.
Can I sell it under my own brand?
Yes — color, logo, panel printing, screen language, voltage, and packaging are all customizable. You approve a design proof before production. A brand authorization letter is required for logo printing.
What support comes after delivery?
One-year free whole-machine warranty, a five-year guarantee on core components (the motor and water system), and lifetime maintenance. If something fails, film it — our engineers identify the fault on a video call, guide the fix live, and ship replacement parts free with fitting instructions. Software updates install remotely.
How much does the PetWash Max cost?
Two doors, two ways to wash. The first opens on the automatic cabin. The second holds a warm-water gun and dryer the owner can pick up for a muddy belly or a matted tail. No other model pairs the two: the Pro, Store and Mini are automatic only, and the Tub is hands-on throughout. So the Max sits highest in our range. Country and unit count are enough for us to price it, usually within a day.
What should I charge customers per wash?
Most self-serve pet washes in North America charge $10–$20 per wash. You set your own prices per package and per pet size on the screen, and change them any time from the backend.
How much weekly maintenance does it need?
Restock shampoo and conditioner, empty the coin vault if you take coins, and give the machine a look-over. The cabin disinfects itself after every wash, and hair and waste water are collected automatically — the two jobs that eat an open-tub operator's week.
Which pets should not use it?
Pets that panic in tight spaces, and very old or unwell animals. The life sensors, 42 °C cutoff, and e-stop protect every pet inside, but a calm pet gets a better wash. For an anxious pet, start with dry-only mode and let the owner watch through the window.
