Dog grooming can be expensive. But since apartment living means no backyard hose, here are my favorite local options for a cheap in-n-out dog bath.

The Pup Tub in Ballpark is a hybrid cafe, dog play area, and self-serve dog wash. $22 for all dog sizes includes shampoo, conditioner, towels, toothbrushes, and more. Open daily, 9 a.m.-8 p.m. No appointment necessary.

The O-Town Coin Laundromat on 400 E. and 200 S. just underwent a slick remodel, which includes a cute little self-serve dog wash station that takes credit cards. The LaundroMUTT Millennium starts at $15 for 10 min. and charges up by the minute. Open daily, 6 a.m.-9 p.m.

$15 at Paw Paw’s on 2100 E. and 1300 S. includes shampoo, face wash, towels, and a drying station for medium-sized dogs — with add-ons like conditioner and teeth brushing available for $1-$5. Plus, they have aprons to keep yourself dry and a solid loyalty rewards program. Hours vary; no appointment necessary.

Coming home from a southern Utah adventure? Curt’s Car & Pet Wash is located right off I-15 in Draper. A $10 self-serve pet wash includes shampoo, conditioner, dryers, and a fur-vac. Open 24-hours.

Trick or Treat Yourself to a Local Costume

Halloween costumes don’t have to come from a big-box store. Here are eight shops in the Salt Lake City area to source your 2026 costume.

Three photos in a collage. The first is a flat lay of a sailors costume consisting of a white shirt, blue and white striped vest, red scarf, and a pipe. The second features three masquerade masks in white, black, and pink, each with a large feather that plumes out the top. And a Lorax costume lies flat, featuring an orange shirt, yellow vest, orange tie, and a yellow beanie with the Lorax’s face and mustache.
