dog washing station
A designated amenity where tenants can wash their pet dogs, usually with washing and drainage equipment.
A dog washing station is an amenity where tenants can wash their pet dogs easily. It is normally equipped with special hoses or shower heads and a drainage area.
The area is provided specifically for washing dogs. Hoses or shower heads and drainage are usual equipment, rather than a requirement that every station have an identical layout.
A laundry area provides machines for washing and drying fabrics. The dog washing station serves animal washing, so the presence of water and drainage alone does not make a laundry room or ordinary bathroom this amenity.
