I’ve anticipated your needs: a rack of towels and drying mats are mounted on the wall for use while you dry your dog, and I’ve even installed a vending machine for added convenience. I had fun stocking it — you’ll find treats, brushes, toothpaste, and scent sprays.

My favorite item in the machine is the Angel Paws Skunk Kit. A skunk encounter handled incorrectly can leave persistent odors in your home, so this kit — packaged in two parts and located on the bottom shelf — provides a reliable solution. Clear, easy-to-follow instructions are printed on the back of the bottles.
