Beyond Pepsi and Coke Vending Machines—The Dog Washing Vending Machine

Since we have been in the vending business since 1997, we tend to think we’ve seen just about everything vended using coin operated vending machines. Over the past decade creative folks have come up with vending machines that go far beyond the normal snack, Pepsi and Coke machines.

There have been dog wash vending machines for a few years now. Most use the same principals of a self-service car wash. The dog is placed in a bin and you wash and rinse your pooch by hand using a wand or similar method.

However, the Dog-o-Matic (yes that’s the real name) more closely resembles a front-loading washing machine. The dog is placed inside of the vending machine, soaped, rinsed and dried all for $20-$48! No word on what PETA or the Humane Society have to say yet but the dog in the picture sure doesn’t look happy.

This latest creation comes from Frenchmen, Romain Jarry who has had success with the vending machines in France and it now eying on bring the machines to Britain.

This vending machine doesn’t seem like a bad idea for smaller dogs (as long as the dog isn’t terrified) however, it’s hard to imagine muscling an unwilling 75 pound Great Dane into the machine!
