Billings, Montana Patent of the Year – 2024/2025

Big Sky Dog Wash LLC has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for innovation in pet care convenience. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent Application No. 20240334903, titled ‘Pet washing system’, introduces an improved self-service dog wash station designed to make bathing pets easier, cleaner, and more efficient.

The system uses an enclosed unit that houses all key washing components, including an overhead boom arm to prevent hose tangling and a durable tub with a quick-drain design. Owners can select wash cycles, control temperature, and access integrated dryers – all from a user-friendly interface.

This updated design reduces water waste, shortens cleanup time, and minimizes stress for both pets and their humans. Its modular construction allows for fast installation and easy maintenance, making it ideal for pet businesses, car washes, and retail locations.

Big Sky Dog Wash LLC continues to transform everyday pet care through thoughtful engineering. Their new system supports a cleaner, safer, and more enjoyable experience for dogs of all sizes. With pet ownership on the rise, this patent positions the company to meet growing demand for accessible grooming solutions.

The invention proves that innovation doesn’t always come from labs – it can also start with solving real problems at the neighborhood dog wash.
