Today's side deal gets you a freshly laundered cuddlepet: for $5, you get a dog wash at SoBo Doggie Daycare & Spa in Locust Point. SoBo's Mucky Paws Spa offers all the supplies you need for a do-it-yourself pet wash while sparing you the hairy mess of cleaning man's best friend at home. No appointment is required.

Your wash includes all cleaning supplies: an apron, shampoo, towels, dryer, brushes, and the latest skateboard videos to keep your puppy entertained. SoBo's friendly staff can also help you walk (or push) your pooch up the ramp into one of SoBo's extra-large tub stalls (elevated for ergonomic ease), and can also offer you some useful tips on using the facilities in case you're not house-broken. Like the darkest magic, that mass of matted hair, slobber, toenail gunk, and waggy tails will transform back into your happy, yappy ball of unconditional love right before your eyes.

• The staff is amazing with the dogs, and is extremely friendly. Everytime [sic] I walk in the door they know my name, my dogs name and always have a smile on their face. They also have webcams, so I can watch my dogs playing while at work, which is always fun. – Rosanna
