Dog groomers in San Diego
14 pet grooming shops are mapped within about nine miles of central San Diego. Coated breeds (doodles, Shih Tzus, Maltese, Poodles) need a professional every six to eight weeks or the coat mats to the skin; short-coated dogs mostly need nails, ears and a bath you can do at home.
San Diego is comfortable for walks most of the year; the score mainly moves with summer heat and rain. Flat-faced breeds, puppies and older dogs feel heat first.
The 14 dog groomers, closest first
Before you go
- Ask how they handle a nervous dog and whether they use cage dryers; a good groomer will tell you plainly.
- A full groom for a small dog runs about $50–$90 in most US cities, a large doodle $100–$180; a nail trim alone $15–$25.
- Say exactly what you want in length and ears; 'short' means different things to different groomers.
What works
- Brush between visits; a groomer cannot save a matted coat without shaving it.
- Start puppies early with a short, easy visit so the table is not frightening later.
- Book the next visit when you leave; good groomers are booked weeks out.
- Check the paws and ears when you get home; redness within a day is worth a call.
- Cats are groomed too, but by fewer shops; ask before booking.
