    Amoxicillin or Prednisone Side Effect?

    Dog Wash

    The trend here is to add them next to the do it yourself car washes. I think we have 2 right now in our city. I would imagine for someone who already owns a carwash, its not a bad investment to make for some extra cash. Only thing is these arent staffed with people. But the one I go to is...
