Our band has an exciting fundraising opportunity! Wash your dog & help raise money for the Wildcat Band.

This is a great opportunity for the Wildcat band. Plus, the more we get the word out to families and friends with dogs, then our fundraiser will have even greater success!

Weber’s dog wash fundraiser program is designed to be a cooperative way to raise money for local organizations and get the word out about Weber's Pet Supermarket.

Store Hours: Monday thru Friday 10 am - 7 pm; Saturday 10 am - 5 pm; Sunday - Closed. The last Dog Wash starts 30 minutes before closing.

Weber’s Pet Supermarket (Fox Mill location only) has a three station state-of-the-art self-service dog wash. Weber’s provides: stainless steel tubs, water (temp controlled), shampoo (hypoallergenic, oatmeal, whitening, flea/tick, etc.), conditioners, towels, high velocity dryers and treats. You (the customer) provide: the dirty dog.

The dog bath is $16.00 per dog. $10.00 of every bath every day goes to non-profit groups. Each non-profit is scheduled for a two-week time period during which they will receive $10.00 for each bath. For example, a recent group we worked with received a check for $490.00 (49 baths). While another group before that received a check for $1030.00 (103 baths). The smallest amount raised so far has been $360.00 (36 baths).

Some of the groups networked (via email, word of mouth, etc.) extremely well. Every dog that gets a bath during your 'two-weeks' will contribute (whether they are regular Weber’s customers or your supporters). The better your group networks within your ranks of volunteers/students/parents/etc, then the better it is for you. Please post this information on your Facebook page.

Weber’s gives the Wildcat band $10.00 per dog and simply asks that you spread the word. This is not a one-day event - it is a multi-week event. Weber's Pet Supermarket Fox Mill Center 2599 John Milton Drive Herndon, Virginia 20171

Store phone: 703-476-3536.

Just a reminder, Weber’s self-serve dog wash is only at their Fox Mill/Herndon location, and Weber’s is not open on Sundays. Thank you for your continued support of our amazing band program!
