One-third of Americans own pets, so when it comes to amenities in the multifamily buildings of 2023, pet-centric spaces and services are no longer a luxury—they’re expected. CIP Finishes has specialized in offering these finishes in recent years and has the know-how to make a pooch feel like a real resident in your community.
Pet-washing stations, dog-centered finishes and waste bag stations will help you market your project effectively and result in maximum revenue from your units.

- One of the in-demand products we offer is the Evolution Dog Wash Station pictured above. Made from aircraft-grade steel, this all-in-one grooming product is low maintenance for building operators and has a standard triple-filtration drain. The fully customizable station can come with cascading lights to attract customers. It can even offer four separate built-in options for different shampoos and conditioners. It’s the top of the line for in-building pet grooming.
- CIP Finishes has solutions for every dog-grooming need. We offer the Master Equipment hydraulic lift table, which can handle canines up to 200 pounds and has loops to keep dogs steady during grooming. We can also provide an ADA-compliant dog wash station from Dog-On-It Parks. Its 5”-deep basin has 33” of clearance to accommodate wheelchairs. Along with the stations, CIP can furnish and install tub plumbing and dryers for your custom pet solution.
- Even in-unit, we have fun products to keep pet owners happy, such as silly dog-tail hooks to hang leashes right next to the front door for added convenience.
There’s a cost to not including these items. According to CoStar, pet-friendliness was in the top three amenity searches in 2020. And a 2021 Pet-Inclusive Housing Initiative Report concluded that units fill faster and residents in pet-friendly rentals stay 21% longer. Contact our estimators today to find out how you can appeal to these long-term renters and their four-legged friends.
