Another way to rinse the Sandbanks millionaires: Automatic DOG WASH opens in upmarket resort for people who don't want their pampered pets to dirty their cars

The self-contained unit on Sandbanks beach, Poole costs £2 for two minutes and has options to rinse, shampoo, condition, de-flea and blow-dry your pet rather than take it home in a wet and filthy state. 

The machine is widely used in America but now British entrepreneurs Mark Whittaker and Tracy Black have launched the first in the UK. 

Mr Whittaker, from Poole, thought of the idea after noticing the number of people putting their dirty dogs into the backs of their luxury cars at Sandbanks beach.
