    My dog's cut after grooming
    Gerica A.

    We've been taking our dog Bella to Dirty Dogs in Solana Beach for the past 8 years, and we couldn't be happier. Every groomer truly takes their time and treats her with so much care and patience. Communication is always excellent, and she's consistently ready right around the time they quote us. We've never once been disappointed with her cut, it's always exactly what we ask for. The icing on the cake is the love and attention Bella gets every visit. It's clear they genuinely care about the dogs they groom. Highly recommend!

    Clean and well-maintained facility where you can bring your dog for a wash or grooming. The staff is very helpful and happy to explain all the services they offer. The grooming is cage-free; dogs just hang out and wait for their owners to pick them up. I took my daughter's puppy for his first grooming appointment, and they did an excellent job in half the time Petco quoted me. Price-wise, I think they are a bit on the higher end, comparable to mobile grooming rates. They should definitely improve appointment scheduling by implementing an online booking system. Currently, appointments are made by phone only.

    During appointment.
 Look at all that fluff!

    'I took my Alaskan Malamute to Dirty Dogs grooming salon, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Ali was our groomer and he was outstanding. My girl had a lot of ocean-induced knots in her undercoat that I just couldn't manage, despite brushing her every day. Ali was amazing from the start. He took the time to explain his grooming process and what he would do to get her coat back in shape. When I picked her up, I was blown away--she looked incredible! Ali not only removed all the mats, but her coat was shiny and fluffy, just like it should be. What really impressed me was Ali's dedication to educating me on how to better care for her at home. His tips were super helpful and will definitely make a difference in maintaining her coat. If you have a northern breed or any dog with a thick coat, I wholeheartedly recommend Ali. He has to be the best groomer in the San Diego area! Thank you, Ali, for taking such great care of my pup!'

    I've been going to dirty dogs for years. Literally since they opened in cardiff. I usually do the do it yourself wash and it's great. Today I had the best experience with full service grooming on my golden retriever. I am very particular about his grooming because I like him to be a little longer haired and people tend to over cut. Ali did his grooming today and he was fantastic! He asked me about what I wanted and spent time making sure he knew exactly what to do. He did an amazing job. Boon looked beautiful and show quality. Ali was very sweet and went over a combing technique with me to maintain his coat. He went out of his way to talk to me about boon and how great he was. I will absolutely go back to Ali for his future grooming. He was lovely and the best groomer I've encountered.

    Ali is the most proficient, kindest, patient groomer I have ever known. Smokey and Milo leave looking like rock stars and always want to come back for a refresh!

    Very welcoming and made sure our dog was comfortable before her first grooming experience. She was well taken care of and returned so soft and fluffy!

    There's just so much to say! First off, the customer service was AMAZING!!! LGBTQ friendly and welcoming, can't say how much better our experience was with just that!! We did the self groom and after a treat $28 which is beyond affordable. Love the tubs! Everything is super clean, doesn't smell like a grooming shop. The blow dryers actually worked and were strong! Their retail section was awesome! Good food, lots of gear and options. We came to the dog beach, drove 4 minutes and had no wait. Affordable, kind and all around awesome! Would make the drive just from Long Beach to come here again!!

    Strike a pose! All clean!

    What a fun treat to wash my dog here! Today I had a double doggie date with a great friend. It started at dog beach in Del Mar, then to Dirty Dogs for a clean up before brunch. My friend and I washed our dogs next to each other and had so much fun in the process. They give you everything you need from shampoo, conditioner, blow dryer, towel etc. I did pay a little extra to have my dogs nails trimmed at the end which was done quickly. My dog smells amazing and is sooo soft. We'll be back for a fun dog beach/dirty dog day!
