Highly recommend!! My daughter and I took our energetic 6 month old pup here for a self wash experience. The staff, shout out to Hannah, were very helpful and patient with us first timers. They provided everything you would need and you can add special conditioning rinse for a nominal fee. Clean, friendly and knowledge. we had a fantastic experience. read more

The Wash Dog - Our pooch was a champ at The Wash Dog! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

After a couple days on Vashon, I thought it a good idea to stop for a wash in the way home. The wash dog was nearby looked clean & easy! And it was! This was our first time and I was so pleasantly surprised by the warm environment, friendly staff at the front & ease to wash my two dogs together! I think I heard them mention risers which I will request next time - my dogs aren't tiny but my back was still sensitive leaning over the edge. Total was $90 - $30 for 2 self wash & 2 nails $30 each. A splurge for me, but definitely saved me the effort and time at home! read more

Came back to give credit where credit was due. Had two great experiences this week, one for self serve bath (first visit for this) and one for a nail trim. All the people that I spoke with were fantastic and were welcoming and supportive of my newly adopted, nervous rescue. Thanks, all. We'll see you again soon. read more

Really incredibly nice staff and a good facility! When I asked for two rooms for my wife and I to both tackle a dog the staff member kindly told me it would be more efficient financially to just take one room even if we took longer. We love this place and will keep coming back! read more

11 months ago I had a child and my poor Saint Bernard named Barnaby's strict grooming regiment took a violent backseat. Seeing how close they were, I reached out and informed them that not only was this dog a filthy, long nailed, matted tail, foul smelling 200lb dog in desperate need of grooming but also has a past history of being very protective and not super happy about grooming procedure. The second we walked in there we were greeted and Ol' GumpyPants was a cool as a cucumber. He got some treats and a nice pet. I asked to pay upfront and they took one look at this guy and said "We bill by the hour and with the size of the dog, it's best just to wait." I drop him off and about 20 minutes later they call me to inform me of some matted fur that would have to be removed. I thought that was extremely thoughtful considering his condition and I let the pros do their work. A few hours later I returned to dare I say the cleanest I'd seen this dog since birth. A wonderful St. Paddys scarf adorned his neck and he was in an amazing mood. I will be going there again and thank everyone for all of the help with what I can only imagine was one hell of a job. From Barnaby & Friend to the WashDog. "Bork. :)" read more

This is the best place for do it yourself dog washing. I have a tiny 9lb pup and I am short, so they will raise the bottom of the sink for me which makes things a lot easier. I really appreciate the individual stalls so dogs can't see each other, as well as towels, shampoo and ear cleaner. The part is dog blow dryers, which is really important for those of us with fluffy pups! They also offer grooming! read more

We love the wash dog! Everyone is so friendly and really seems to care about our puppy. Aiclin is the absolute best and I almost want to keep that a secret - that's how good she is. Not only is she extremely sweet to us and our puppy, she asks us and listens to what we want. We've gotten our dog washed here, used the stalls to wash, and of course gotten him groomed with Aiclin. This is an amazing and friendly establishment which is clearly no secret given how packed it always is. read more

Even though it may be one of the only groomers in West Seattle, Rose does an amazing job on our doodle. And if you want to wash your puppers yourself they have the best facilities. They provide everything and clean up the mess. Definitely recommend this place. read more

These folks are so good with our pup. He's been coming here since he was a puppy and they've taken great care to help him acclimate to grooming. He gets more excited arriving here than when we've come home after vacations ... I swear he loves his groomers more than his pawrents read more

I checked their hours on Google and their website. I saw they request no walk-ins an hour prior to closing which makes sense - they need time to clean. So showed up at 6pm and was surprised to be told abruptly that they were closing. I told her the website listed closing as 7:30 and she did offer to let me in which was nice. But I had two dogs and didn't want to be that person keeping everyone late. Plus they're border collies and they spend heaps of time on a farm and they're not a ten minute bath. It looked really nice: spacious and clean. Maybe they have private rooms for bathing (I didn't get to see!) but not a good first impression. I went down the road to another spot instead. I might try it again in the future, but unsure. Thanks for your comment - I visited on Tuesday, June 14th at 6pm (the same day I wrote the review). If your hours haven't changed then I'm unsure why I was turned away.... read more

They have moved to White Center now, to a much bigger space. I've been going here for many years over two cocker spaniels to get them groomed and they always do a good job. My current dog, Charlie, is very grumpy and scared of everything, but they've been able to work with him very well. Keep in mind that this is not a place you spontaneously get into - it can take 6-8 weeks for a grooming appointment. But they have always kept their appointment and are being very serious about COVID-19 protocols. read more

Pup hates water. Hates the comb. Hates the blow dryer. Hates scissors. They had self service stations, but I opted for their in house grooming. They charged me LESS than price advertised because they felt they can only do so much as my puppy is comfortable and thus believed the service didn't match the price. Dude came out smelling like lavender oatmeal and hair cut from head to toe including around the legs (dogs hate their legs touched), anal glands/genitals, and overall body length. They finished early and let me know I can come in sooner. In and out in less than 1.5 hours. When finished the groomer came out and gave a breakdown of what's done, what could be done more, and what to expect next time. I don't know why she charged me less, but hey, that's stellar customer service in my book. Keep in mind, covid has made scheduling EXTREMELY difficult so call in advance. read more

My dog needed this! I have a big fluffy chow chow and I used to be able to bathe him at home in our bathtub when he was a puppy; however, he just got too big (clogging the drains with all his fair, not staying still, etc.) so we started taking him to a professional groomer. Groomers are nice if you can find one who can work with your dog breed. Chow chows are aggressive and unfortunately the groomer who worked on our dog for years left and we weren't able to find a groomer that my dog was cool with. Then we discovered the Wash Dog a couple weeks ago and it was LIFE CHANGING! The set up was everything we needed (huge tub, soaps, dryer, scrubs, harness, etc.) and my dog was surprisingly very calm through it all. Bathing my dog became SO EASY and I didn't have to worry about the mess; the last time I bathed my dog at home, I spent a good hour just cleaning the hair out of the bathroom. Also $20 per session is such a deal, definitely beats the $100 at a groomer. It takes some time/effort to bathe your dog, but it's such a bonding experience not to sound corny or anything! read more

I stopped by a few years ago and waited at the front desk area for no less than 10 minutes. Several people were in the back - I made eye contact with all of them assuming at least one of them worked there. No one acknowledged me or motioned they would come to my assistance. I finally left and won't go back. read more

I'm pretty picky about my dog's haircut and the first groomer we tried after moving to Seattle didn't do a great job. He was there for over 4 hours, I paid about $90 and his "beard" and tail trim were really uneven. I read the great yelp reviews and they actually had a Saturday appointment which is like almost impossible when the weather starts getting warmer. Rose was fantastic and asked me great questions about what I was looking for and the specifics of how I wanted my dogs face hair cut. We were completely on the same page about what hair to leave and what to get rid of. She had a great calm energy so I felt super comfortable leaving my pup in her capable hands. I picked him up about 1.5 hours later which was great! No extended cage time, which I hate. My pup looked (and smelled) awesome. His beard trim was on point, his body was shaved down just like I wanted, but she left his cute little ears and tail which is so much of his personality. He was also happy and not over exhausted like he gets after too much cage time. This will be my go to place from now on and Rose has a furever customer! read more

I have a corgi and an american eskimo. Both puppies have double coats of fur so they shed a lot. Bringing my puppies here means that I don't have to worry about clogging my bathtub with puppy hair! Lisa and her team at the Wash Dog are super stars! They have self wash stations with scentless allergen free shampoo, towels, brushes, ear cleaning solution, cotton swabs and anything else you can think of to wash your puppies. If you need any additional material, just mention it to the staff and they'll happily provide you with more supplies. Self wash is normally $20, but they have $17 on Mondays and a two for one deal on Tuesdays. Nail trims are $10 and the staff are super caring and attentive to your dog's needs. They also have unlimited treats for your dogs and dog cologne for during and after their bath! They also do a frequent washer program in which your 11th wash is free (buy 10 get one free). You just have to remind them to check your status. One thing I recommend is to call ahead before coming in for a self wash just to make sure they have a stall available as there's only about 4-5 stalls in the facility. read more

I've been a customer of Wash Dog for years. We've washed and trimmed our dogs nails here every time we needed to for the past ~6 years. Even when they relocated to a much less convenient location for us to travel to. I recently went by on a Sunday with my toddler to get a wash & nail trim - which they no longer do on the weekends (which is fine but we didn't learn about it until we saw the sign posted at the entryway). We arrived at 4:36 and were also told we couldn't do a self wash because while they "close" at 5:30 self-wash closes at 4:30. It has never taken us longer than 30 mins to wash my dog and hoping for a reasonable accommodation or an empathetic reaction at minimum I say "It is only 4:36" and the front desk person just said a stern and IDGAF "Yep!" It's hard to capture how little the person seemed to care that despite being "open" for another hour there wasn't a service we needed available to us. It completely changed our impression and we regret being loyal to the business for the past several years. We won't be going back. read more

They're now located on 16th ave in White Center. I love The Wash Dog! Everyone who works there is so kind and friendly. They are taking COVID precautions very seriously, which I appreciate. Every time my dog goes there for a grooming, I am so pleased with the outcome and price. Thank you for your great service and kindness. read more

The Wash Dog staff is really helpful and efficient. I've never had a problem in the two years I've been going.

Busy on the weekends!!! You can't blame them for that though. :) I took my pug in for a nail trim. Reasonable prices. All the staff were super nice and it went smoothly even though he can be very skittish about his little feets. read more

So easy to give our pup the occasional pro clean treatment! Wash and paw scoop were great - he was so happy on pickup: "I'm clean and didn't go to the vet? I'm a happy dog." read more

If I could give you zero stars I would. The first time I took my dog here to get his nails clipped, I gave you a pass. You missed 3 nails and told my sitter that his nails were already too short. I went to the humane society a week later to get our dog fixed, and they said they should be much shorter. Today, my sitter takes our dog again to get his nails clipped and are you kidding me, you jerks asked her to hold him down while you clipped his nails. This is NOT why people take to get their dogs nails clipped by a "professional." It was a horrible experience for her, and the pup. You should see this dogs nails. I've never seen such a butchered job. Maybe youre great at washing dogs, I'll give you that. But your clients should know Rover offers $40 flat rate for someone to come to your home, they bathe the dog, clip their nails, give them an expression and clean their ears. Use Rover. Not this place. read more

Long time customer here who has followed this business to their White Center location. The self wash is very good. I've recently had concerns about the grooming services. I was there yesterday with my dog and he was the last dog of the day for the groomer. When I was called to pick him up after I was told they were going to charge me $160.00 for a bath and sanitary trim. Say what? The groomer had gone home already. She said it took 2.5 hours and they charge by her time. The front desk person ran interference the next day and also wouldn't let me speak with the groomer about my dog and if there were behavior problems. He doesn't like the dryer. My dog was given an all over "shaping" which meant he was shaved. One side looked chopped and overall it looked poorly done. The previous groomer who I've known for years was much faster and the dog didn't come out looking scalped. The front desk person agreed to only charge me 120.00 but then when tip is applied it's really almost $150.00. Just not a sustainable price for a mediocre job. was told by the front desk that "I'm welcome to go elsewhere.." So sad. read more

Very friendly and they have everything you'll need for a compete and thorough wash of your pup! It was my first time ever using a self grooming service and I'm very glad I chose to go here 1st! Will definitely be back soon! read more

Make sure to call before you go! They are not open the times listed on their website. We have been there twice to use the self wash and have been turned down twice. The first time it was too close to closing with an hour to go and today at an hour and 10 minutes before closing it was still too close. The person standing outside smoking gave us a story about cleaning up early and when she asked her manager if we could wash our dog she said no. So much for trying to support a local business. We won't try again! read more

Love this place, they're always super welcoming. I love that nail dremel/trims are walk in. I hear they do an excellent job at grooming & everytime I walk in there's so many long haired pups getting attended to. I have short haired pups but def considering giving them a spa day here. My pup is VERY timid & is dog reactive but when she comes in here she's always so well attended that she's more focused on what's going on than her surroundings, plus you guys actually take off all the nail that needs to be trimmed. All other places always leave them super long still. Thank you for always taking care of my pup :-) read more

Amazing place! We brought 100 pound timid dog For a self wash and they were very helpful They have all supplies needed (ear wash shampoo brush) great place. read more

horrible experience today at the wash dog:( This is my first negative yelp review ever but it was that negative of an experience. I had a noon appt for my two dogs and arrived at the old location, not realizing they had moved 10m away. I called a few times with no answer but finally got the receptionist on the line. She told me if I arrived within the 15min grace period, they could still service my dogs. I raced to arrive - with my 11month old child and two dogs in the car. I walked in at 12:15 on the dot, and was told I was too late because their computer said 12:16. I asked if there was any way to complete 1 dog, or reduce the service since I drove there with my child after speaking w someone on the phone. Weirdly, the groomer sat in the side room and refused to even acknowledge me, make eye contact or answer my questions, putting the receptionist (and me) in an awkward position. Will not be coming back or recommending this location. Doesn't feel like a joyful or friendly place to send one's cherished pet. :( read more

Love your groomer Brynna. Does the best work I've seen. You can tell she loves her job. Would recommend her to anyone!

The best place to ever take your dog for grooming and washing. I own a Shiba and they can be fairly challenging to groom. If you are not aware of this dog breed, be sure to google the Shiba scream because they will absolutely let you know they hate whatever it is you are doing (like doing their nails). If you are looking for a service that not only loves your dog like you do, but puts in the dedication to making sure your dog is safe and comfortable, then congratulations, you found it. You found The Wash Dog. So go on, close google maps, close yelp, close all those facebook groups you've asked around in. It's over. You don't have to stress out anymore. You have found The Wash Dog. They will treat your dog like the royalty they are. And they know how to groom Shibas. It's a godsend. The only thing I wish was better was that they were still in walking distance to me. Their new location isn't bad but I can't see them as often as I used to. read more

I found this place years ago as an alternative to killing my back and destroying the bathroom after bathing my dogs in the bathtub. Here you can stand up to wash your dog in grooming tubs and then blow dry and brush them out. One of the rooms has a real bathtub (that's my favorite). They provide everything you need (shampoo, towels, brushes, combs, ear cleaner and swabs) and they clean up the mess (keep in mind that it's good manners to clean up after yourself so don't take advantage). You can also buy dog products, treats, etc. I haven't hired any of the groomers so can't comment on that. I haven't had any bad experiences so far with the place or the service. read more

I have a Siberian husky and he is the toughest dog to keep clean and with reasonable levels of fur. The Wash Dog makes him look so good! I have no idea how they can blow so much undercoat off but they are truly great at it. Beyond that they are super friendly and their pricing is very reasonable for the high level job they do. Great spot to get your dog groomed in West Seattle. read more

The staff here is friendly an helpful. the facilities are super clean (even when busy). The station was just the right height and everything was easy to reach. With a so so back, it was great to not have to bend over while washing. The prices were also incredibly affordable compared to other washes I've used. The young lady working that day was incredibly gentle with the nail and paw trims. Normally my dog shies away but for the most part, she was made to feel at ease (and she got a couple scritches). I wish I remembered her name, because she deserves the mention. One word of caution though. If you have a super stressy dog, you may want to go when it isn't as busy or prep your pooch beforehand. Baths are stressful for my girl anyway, but it was a little loud when the place was full and that made her even more anxious. Of course, that's not their fault at all - it's just the nature of the business. Next time, I'll make sure to prep her beforehand. But there definitely WILL be a next time! read more

Super clean! Friendly and helpful staff and great prices! This will be our new local spot for self washing our husky!

The Wash Dog is amazing!! Our dog absolutely hates to get his nails done and the staff here are so great! They handle his craziness with so much professionalism and even make me feel better! They even were able to use the dremel which I've never even been able to get close to him with. I highly recommend them!!! read more

These ladies are so nice. My dog was actually not freaking out when I picked him up. Which is amazing since he gets nervous about everything. Their schedule is really nice and you don't leave your dog there ALL day. She listens to what kind of hair cut you want. read more

The Wash Dog has been great for our reactive dog. Our rescue pup does not do well with other dogs, so it can be stressful to take her to places with lots of animals. We've brought her here several times for nail trimming, and the staff is always incredibly accommodating, doing their best to make it a stress-free environment for her and for us. read more
