We understand that dog washing is not a fully mechanical process. Human interaction is an important part of the experience. We designed our system to keep essential steps manual or semi-automatic, while letting the machine handle the time-consuming, repetitive tasks. The result is a process that feels natural, efficient, and stress-free for both pets and their owners. With SHELANDY, you don’t have to compromise between price and performance — you get both, plus smarter design.
The SHELANDY Auto Pet Wash Machine is designed to deliver one of the fastest payback periods in the industry. With low operating costs and strong revenue potential, each unit can generate substantial monthly profit.
ASSUMPTIONS FOR ROI CALCULATION
- Wash price: $30 per dog
- Utilities & consumables breakdown:
- Electricity: 2kWh × ~$0.30/kWh = $0.60 per wash
- Water: 120 gallons ≈ 0.16 HCF ≈ $0.33 per wash
- 2-in-1 Shampoo (depreciated cost): $2.00 per wash
- Total utilities & consumables: $2.93 per wash
- Card processing fee: $0.50 + 2.5% of $30 ($0.75) = $1.25 per wash
- Net profit per wash: $30 − $2.93 − $1.25 = $25.82
- Machine cost: $9,500 (The model with card processor)

We partner with Affirm to make purchasing the SHELANDY Auto Pet Wash Machine even easier,
your machine can literally pay for itself. Instead of a large down payment, you can spread the cost over time while your Pet Wash Machine is already generating revenue.
Affirm Payment Plans
-
Flexible installments up to 12 months
-
APR from 0%–36%, depending on credit eligibility
-
No hidden fees — clear, predictable payment schedule
Example
On a $9,500 machine financed over 12 months, a typical monthly payment is about $850.
That equals the net profit from only 2–3 washes per day.
This means the machine’s daily revenue can easily cover its own financing — allowing you to start earning before it’s fully paid off.
In short: the machine works, and it pays for itself.

What is the SHELANDY Auto Pet Wash?
It's a self-service dog wash station with an enclosed stainless bay, a control panel, an Auto Rinse top sprayer for fast hands-free rinsing, the handheld wand that applies shampoo/conditioner, an ultra-high-airflow built-in dryer, and cashless payment. The system is designed to cut labor and boost throughput—most washes are finished in minutes with consistent, professional results.
Is it safe and comfortable for dogs?
Yes. The station has a transparent splash-guard door that closes for a fully enclosed wash while keeping your dog 100% visible at all times. Inside you will find non-slip flooring, warm-water mixing, gentle spray options. Users control water and airflow from the control panel (touchscreen optional). Always follow on-screen prompts and never leave pets unattended.
What utilities and space do I need?
Hot and cold water supply, a floor or wall drain, and a dedicated 2-phase 208–240V circuit ending in a NEMA 14-30R or NEMA 14-50R receptacle (per site/load). Clearances, rough-in heights, and exact connection sizes are all in the Installation Spec Sheet—you can download it on this page.
Is installation complicated?
Not at all. The unit ties into your existing water and drain lines. Required a dedicated 208–240V NEMA 14-30R outlet. No special exhaust is typically required beyond normal commercial ventilation. A licensed plumber/electrician can handle it in a routine visit. We include a hookup diagram, and we're available for a quick phone/video check if you want.
How does POS terminal work?
Built-in EMV card acceptance supports contactless/tap, chip, and mobile wallets. Pricing, time blocks, and add-ons are configurable. The system can show basic sales reports and usage data so you can track ROI easily.
What does weekly maintenance look like?
It's simple: empty the hair trap, rinse surfaces, wipe the utility cabinet, and run a quick disinfecting cycle at the end of the day. Weekly, open utility cabinet and check filters, refill shampoo/conditioner tank. We include a step-by-step care checklist.
What about warranty and support?
Every SHELANDY Auto Pet Wash Station comes with a 1-year limited warranty—see the Warranty Terms section in the product manual for full details. We provide U.S.-based parts and tech support; our technicians can troubleshoot remotely and coordinate parts or on-site service through our network if needed.
