What is the average revenue that DIY dog wash stations can make in a year?
(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!) | | | Make Your Own Dog Grooming Wipes
Most dog owners don't bathe their dogs multiple times a week, so it's nice to have something on hand to clean them up between baths. These wipes are easy to make yourself and can clean up the messes they get themselves in between grooming sessions.
DIY Dog Grooming Wipes - You'll need an empty container with a flip-top, a box of thick tissues, and a bottle of your favorite shampoo.
- Fold and insert the tissues into the container. Open the box and grab a thick stack of tissues to fill the container without being jammed inside.
- Add a few teaspoons of shampoo into a cup and slowly add warm water. The speed is important so it doesn't get too sudsy.
- Once you are happy with the consistency, pour this into your wipes container.
- Allow the wipes to have some time to absorb all the liquid. Don't leave any excess liquid in the bottom of the container.
| | Everything You Need to Know About Bathing Your Dog
Grooming your dog will help keep their skin and fur healthy. Dogs spend a lot of time playing outside and get into all kinds of things. While you don't need to bathe them daily, there should be a regular bathing schedule. It depends on their type of coat. Once a month works for many dogs, but if your dog has an oily coat or short hair, you should bath them more often. If your pup has a water-repellant coat or a thick, double coat, you can bathe them less to preserve the natural oils.
Finding a spot to bathe the dog depends on their size. Small dogs can go right in the bathtub or sink. With a large dog, you may need to visit a dog wash spot or use the garden hose on a nice day.
Start the bathing process with a quick brush ahead of time. If you can't brush out any mats, you'll want to bring them to a groomer for a trim. The water temperature should be lukewarm so they are not burned. Encourage them with a calm and gentle voice while they are in there. Use shampoo that is created for dogs, and make sure to rinse them well and get all the soap off their bodies. Avoid any hot blow-driers and allow them to air dry. Always give them a treat as a little reward afterward.
If you struggle with this process, schedule time with a professional groomer. They can help with hair cuts, nail trims, and teeth cleaning as well. Some jobs are best for a professional. | | This New Toilet Paper Just Might Save the Planet
Every 24 hours, 27,000 trees are cut down to make toilet paper. To us, that feels like way too many — and Honeycomb agrees. That's why this small, female-founded brand created luxury, three-ply toilet tissue made from bamboo. It feels just like regular high-end toilet paper, but doesn't harm trees.
So why bamboo? It's the fastest-growing plant in the world — growing 100 times faster than the average tree — which means thousands of rolls can be produced in the time it takes for a single tree to grow back.

Some dogs love the grooming process. This pup loves it so much that he helps himself to the spinning scrubbers at the car wash. He waits patiently for it to get to him and then lets it clean his back. You must give him credit for thinking outside the box! | | Final Bark
In the time it takes to read today's edition, an estimated 93 trees will be cut down to meet toilet paper demand. Honeycomb is helping to change that with luxury, three-ply tissue made from sustainable bamboo. It's biodegradable, plastic-free, and will be delivered straight to you.
