A new venture in Grateley Business Park is set to revolutionise the often-dreaded task of bathing dogs. Fetch the Soap, a self-service dog wash station, has opened its doors, providing a dedicated, mess-free environment for pet owners to clean their furry companions.
The business was founded by Rebecca Brown, a British Army photographer, who was inspired by her own struggles with dog bath times. She found that even as a fit individual, the physical strain of bending over a bathtub and the inevitable chaos of wet, escaping dogs and scattered hair were significant challenges. After speaking with numerous other dog owners, she realised this was a common pain point, prompting her to create a practical solution.

A Solution for Dog Owners
Fetch the Soap provides a private, fully equipped space designed to make the entire grooming process easier. Owners can utilise the facilities to shampoo, condition, rinse, and blow-dry their dogs without the usual home-based inconveniences. The business was established in November 2025, with the goal of serving busy pet owners seeking a quick, convenient, and stress-free method to keep their pets clean without creating a mess in their own homes.
More Than Just a Wash
In addition to the innovative dog wash station, Rebecca Brown has also launched Fetch & Pose, a professional pet photography studio situated next door. This venture offers high-quality visual content for pet professionals and creates timeless portraits for dog owners, providing a complementary service for the local pet community.
