Meet Oliver & Lulu, the pups who inspired the Twin Cities’ new self-serve dog wash... Ollu!

After raising these litter mates in San Diego, California, Minnesota native Jodel Fesenmaier decided it was time to leave the beaches of San Diego and return to her home state. A new home comes with new challenges, and suddenly Oliver, Lulu and Jodel found themselves without the dependable local self-service dog washes that they’d become accustomed to out west.

Jodel was tired of expensive visits to the groomer, cold water from the backyard hose, and back aches from weekly washings in the family tub. Jodel decided enough was enough. Neccessity is the mother of invention, In an effort to solve her own problem, Jodel created Ollu.
