People will come, use the facilities leave it a mess (not their problem). Also, unreal as it may sound, owners get bit by their own dogs, don't think that some of that won't come back on you. Good Idea, but you better be up for a lot of problems.

most pet supply stores now have dog wash areas. 90% of the room is stainless steel the tubs have walk in doors for extremely large dogs. It's been working with no problems at pet supplies store for over four years. It would work well for extremely large dogs in the villages. For the small ones you can just throw them in your sink at home. Have never had an issue with bringing home any fleas. Really saves your back when your dog weighs over 60 pounds.
