There's a splashing deal at Tanker Tails. Throughout June and July, the animal kennel has half off do-it-yourself dog and cat baths.
This is the third time Tanker Tails has presented this bath deal to Team Fairchild since it first opened almost three years ago.
"Since the bath special was such a hit the past two years we presented it, we wanted to continue the tradition this year as well," said Angela Arp, a kennel manager who has been working at Tanker Tails since 2011 and will be departing. "Most people love being able to come in and bathe their pet without making a mess of their own bathroom. A perk for pet owners is we do all the clean-up!"
