Muddy Paw Wash is a dog wash as well as a people/dog coffee lounge serving the Annapolis, Washington and Baltimore area.

At the dog wash, we offer self-serve and full-service washing options for all dogs—big and small. In the coffee lounge, we serve sodas, juices, smoothies, chai teas and espresso drinks made from Annapolis’ own Caffé Pronto coffee.

Muddy Paw Wash provides everything you need to make grooming your dog a fun, easy experience. Whether you do it yourself, or opt to relax in the lounge as we do the work, we're sure you'll enjoy your visit and you'll leave with a clean and happy pet!

Whether your dog is running at the beach or playing in your yard, his coat can get very dirty. Clean up is easy with Muddy Paw Wash’s state-of-the-art wash stations. Each professional grooming tub is equipped with a Hydrosurge bathing system that lets you control shampoo, conditioner and water all from a single hose.

Our cleaning products are sensitive to your dog’s skin and eyes, and we provide brushes and combs for maintaining a clean coat. And yes, you get to use lots and lots of towels. Every station has built in dryers and, if you or your pet prefer, we have multiple crate dryers (crate trained dogs sometimes prefer these dryers).

Grooming clippers and gear are available—you can brush or trim your dog if desired. And best of all, once you finish, leave the mess behind! It’s that easy.

The Muddy Paw Coffee Bar serves a full line of coffee and espresso drinks for carry out or sit down service in the Wash Lounge. Stop by for your favorite hot or cold coffee drink, smoothie, pastry or light lunch snack.

We're proud to use some of Annapolis' favorite specialty purveyors. All our coffee drinks are made with freshly roasted coffee from Annapolis' own Caffe Pronto—roasted twice a week and served fresh. Our bagels (The Bagel Connection) and pastries (Sweet Dreams Bakery) are delivered daily. On weekends, we offer specialty sandwiches provided by Eastport's Harbour Deli.
