from empty space to first-of-its-kind: muddy paws opens with puppered dog wash

Pet owners in Jackson, Tennessee, have a new reason to wag their tails — the city’s first self-serve dog wash is officially open. Muddy Paws, a locally owned business, opened its doors with one mission: make it easier, faster, and more affordable for dog owners to keep their pets clean.

And behind that big splash? A Puppered Solo, custom-branded just for them.

seeing an opportunity, and seizing it

For years, Jackson’s pet owners have had two options: wash their dogs at home (hello, wet towels and muddy bathrooms) or pay for full-service grooming. Muddy Paws saw a gap and an opportunity to bring a modern, self-service option to town.

That’s where Puppered came in. Our Solo model offers everything a high-traffic retail or entrepreneurial environment needs: durability, easy maintenance, and a customer-friendly experience. With a small footprint and low labor requirements, it’s the perfect fit for businesses looking to turn unused space into steady revenue.

the puppered difference

When Muddy Paws’ owners began searching for a dog wash system, they knew it had to be tough enough for heavy use, simple to maintain, and attractive enough to stand out. Puppered delivered on all counts.

We worked with the Muddy Paws team to design a fully custom-branded Solo, complete with their logo, colors, and personality — so the wash would instantly become a centerpiece of their space. Installation was fast, training was simple, and the system was ready for customers in no time.

opening day buzz

The community’s excitement was clear from the start. WBBJ-TV covered the launch, highlighting Muddy Paws as Jackson’s first self-serve dog wash and showing pet owners exactly how easy it is to use. Social media lit up with photos, shares, and comments from curious (and muddy) dog lovers.

For Muddy Paws, it’s more than just a new business; it’s a way to bring people together, meet a real need, and create loyal, repeat customers.
