San Diegan's LOVE to take their dogs out to play. In addition to the many groomers in the county, a number of businesses also support outdoor adventures with do-it-yourself pet wash facilities.
Located just 2 1/2 blocks from the Ocean Beach Dog Beach, Dog Beach Dog Wash is the perfect place to get the sand out after a vigorous beach run and ocean romp.

Noah's also stocks a wide variety of products including collars, leashes, shampoo, toys and an entire line of holistic, natural dog food, the raw dog diet, dietary supplements and treats.
A family run business located 15 minutes inland from Pacific Beach and Fiesta island, Dunk 'n Dogs offers both self-service dog wash facilities and full service grooming. They have hydrosurge tubs, all-natural shampoos and conditioners and drying stations.
