Walked from the dog beach for the self wash. They don't allow paying customers to use the Restroom. They insisted I chain my dog in the bath to the wall I will never come back. I live in Del Mar and only came here because during the Summer dogs must be on leash at the dog beach in Del Mar. Awful place, worst service! read more

Bought a vest for our Frenchie. It was too small. We exchanged for a larger size with no hassle. The pet associate really loves dogs & gave us doggie treats. It is nice to have a non-chain pet store in Coronado. read more

The staff, service and product selection at Wag n Tails is just fantastic. This pet store is like Nordstrom for animals! Huge selection of foods, treats, and everything you would need for your furry friend. I especially like the Raw Bistro dog food, and the soup bones - my dog LOVES them! The baths are super-clean, and stocked with everything your dog would need to make them feel like they spent the day at the spa! Melanie and the entire crew are friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to help - there is no reason to go off-island for your pet needs. It is all here at Wag n Tails! read more

I love this spot! It's such a nice set up and everyone who works here is super nice and helpful! I can't say enough about how impressed I was especially with the staff. They were so personable. The bathtub itself is perfect. There's two steps from the floor up which is perfect for my giant lab who hates baths (it didn't take too much effort to get her from the floor to tub). Shampoo (regular and dry skin formula), ear cleanser, and towels provided. They also have a blow dry station, but with this perfect weather we didn't use it. Upon check out I purchased frozen yogurt as a post grooming treat and they sent us with a good size sample bag of dog food. I'm so glad I randomly came in and will definitely return in the future. :) read more

Wag'n Tails - Pet Stores Near Me - Coronado, California

Went here today to pick up some ACANA food for my puppy before work. I really liked the store, its super clean and laid out very well. I was greeted within seconds of entering the door which is so hard to come across now a days. I would echo other reviewers, it feels like you are walking into a loved family members home, really does not have a "business" feel. The staff was very helpful in answering some of my questions about food as I'm in the process of switching things due to possible allergies. They have lots of good quality "healthy" (as much as they can be) treats for dogs, and they have doggy cookies! I enjoy finding local pet stores to visit. They carry a lot of unique products and their prices are very competitive to other shops I've visited. Really is a nice store, what all local hometown shops should stride to be like. If our local hometown shops had the same experience there would be less online shopping as we would look forward to making the trip! I personally am looking forward to doing business with them and visiting next time with my pup! read more

Very friendly staff and very helpful. They helped us with our dog's harness. They have a nice selection of cool collars and even seasonal ones! read more

Was over at the dog beach today (6/19) with my Pup and just took him by for a much needed bath! I've been to this shop for random dog supplies and accessories, but never utilized the dog wash. The do it yourself dog wash was very nicely supplied with all natural products and the staff was sooo friendly and helpful. I've heard good things about this place and I'm just soo glad it lives up to its name! Thank you everyone at Wag'N Tails!!! Boomer and I will be back soon!!! read more

Small but great little local place for your pets. Staff is friendly and they'll order just about anything you need if they don't have it in stock. A huge plus for me is that they're about holistic foods, many of them grain-free. I wish they'd expand the food section and have less of the froo-froo stuff, but then I guess there are people that like the froo froo as much as I like the grain-free, and it works, so who am I to complain? read more

I'm so excited that this is my new stop for pet food! I get to drive down the Silver Strand into cute Coronado, one of my favorite places, and visit this adorable shop! My dog eats a raw diet and this is the closest place that stocks Nature's Variety. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a couple of dollars cheaper per bag than my old stockist in La Mesa, Paw Country. I had expected differently (it's in Coronado, after all). The girl working also told me that they offer a 5% discount if I were to buy a case of 9 bags (about a month's worth of food for my dog, and not a bad deal at all!) The two girls working were very friendly and helpful. The store itself is cute and clean. Their food selection is on the smaller side, I guess, but seemed to me more than adequate, and they stock good brands, like Nature's Variety, Orijen and Wellness. Plenty of treats too! They also have lots of cute non-food items for sale. I agree with the previous poster regarding their collar selection. I couldn't resist getting a new collar for my dog, a preppy one with cute little whales in navy, white and red--only $17 which is quite reasonable imo. (I paid around $60 for his last one, which has lasted about 3 years and was leather, but still...maybe he can have more than one collar now!) I also saw some nice dog art and bowls and cute little dog houses in the window. Can't comment on the dog wash, but if I ever use it I'll update this review. Overall I think it's a great little place and I'm happy to be going back soon! read more

Great shop! The owner knows her stuff, there are great dog items here at reasonable prices - and here's my greatest story: I am a little OCD about feeding my dog good food. I research (i.e. www.dogfoodanalysis.com ) and buy the best. I was recently in the store, eying my favorite brand which they had in 15 lb. bags for a really good price. An employee told me they could special order my dog's specific formula. They did and I received a call from the store in a few days that it was there. I went to pick up the food. I was so pleased! I got to shop locally, support a small business AND the price was the same to the penny as Petco. Best customer service bit of all - that same employee carried it to my car (down the block - we're not talking rolling a cart into a parking lot!) and put it in my car for me! That's the kind of great they are - small business, knows their customers service at unbeatable prices. Get thee to Coronado!! Oh - and I haven't even tried the baths yet - maybe this week. Stay tuned! read more

What more can you ask for--a locally owned, boutique pet supply store. The owner and staff are SO nice and helpful. I bring my dog in at least once a week just to play with their dogs. I assumed prices would be higher - but guess what? The prices are not higher than the chains!! Great value on premium, healthy dog food and supplies. The self wash is a really good value at $12 and they provide everything!! The perfect set up and the dogs love it. read more

Found this gem a few weeks ago, it's a perfect self service dog bath for my two pups (lab &. Border collie) after a nice beach day The best part is the customer service Highly recommend read more

Love this spot! The staff is very nice and knowledgeable, and always so great with my little dog, but I recently brought in my newly rescued boy and when they found out I'd just brought him in from the shelter they comped his bath! They also suggested which special shampoo to use and gave us extra attention. And even though he's a big black Pittie they treated him just the same as the other dogs. Thanks Wag'n Tails for making Horace's first bath a great one! read more

Wag'n Tails - Horace having his first post-shelter bath! - Pet Stores Near Me - Coronado, California

One way in and One way out...of Cornoado that is. (and yes, I do know there are 2, but who's counting?) So why not stop at the perfect place to get your pup all clean for the drive home after a doggy play day at dog beach in Coronado? Situated on the outbound route, its easy to make a quick detour. For 3 wake me ups at 4bucks you can scrub your pooch squeaky clean. While youre there grab him some grub, change out the doggy bling, and grab a drink. (all for the dog....I know what some of you were thinking) The selection is great! My bestie, Makana had to have the duck toy, and they always had one "hidden" for her when the current would disappear. Why not paws and check it out?!?! read more

I love this dog wash! Our dog trainer recommended the place during one of our training outings for our service dog while in Coronado. Our Little Angel needs a bath once a week so she never smells in a restaurant or store since she is out on public all the time. The tubs are easy to use, easy access for the dogs, nice clip-ins attached to the walls of the tubs for security, a variety of shampoos, and they have aprons, loops to keep the pooch in place, towels and even conditioner for those itchy spots. The groomer is wonderful should you need that service. She gave a pedicure - snip snip with no fuss, no muss. The store out front has a great selection of toys, food, treats and other necessity items. But these great reasons are not the reasons we keep coming every week. The people who work here, from the owner, to the staff, to the groomer - everyone is amazing. We always feel welcome. We always feel taken care of. We always leave feeling spoiled. We did not know just how spoiled until we went somewhere else on Mother's Day when they were closed. Our fault for not checking the schedule. When you find a gem like Wag N Tails; you need nowhere else. Thank you for everything. See you on the weekend! read more

The best store for doggies! Unique patterns for leashes and collars, cute cookies, and friendly staff! I always stop by when I'm in Coronado. read more

I usually go to another dog wash further north but found this hidden gem. It's in the perfect location so after a day at the dog beach I can just come on over and give my Bella a quick wash. They have two tubs and dryers along with friendly staff! Bella was able to have a stress free bath and even picked out some toys and a few treats :) we will definitely be returning. read more

Stopped here with my dog after a jaunt at Dog Beach and was glad I did. The staff helped get my very anxious dog into a tub - bribing him with a ton of treats! - and it was super easy to use. There were two different types of shampoo (one for dry skin and an original formula) and a nice conditioning spray. The place was immaculate (granted, we were there when they opened) and the staff was so friendly, it made for a lovely experience. They also have a really nice selection of treats, harnesses, food and toys, and the price for a bath at $16 was reasonable. Next time we're in Coronado, we'll definitely be back! read more

I've popped in here a few times after dog beach to grab a treat or two for my pup. He's always welcomed and given lots of love and the treats are so cute. The last time I went I had time for a bath- and the employees were so kind and helpful and super attentive. The bath tubs were so clean it made a somewhat pain in the butt experience of bathing a cranky bulldog actually enjoyable. Plus it isn't extra to use the dryer- unlike most places- which helps the drying experience so much better. I will definitely be coming back for more baths post dog beach here. read more

Very clean tubs and great customer service! Love taking our boys to get baths here. Very good follow up on orders.

I like to spread my spending around when it comes to my doggie, certain places have just what you are looking for and this is THAT place. For the love of pets, Melanie, her mom and Chelsea are about as good as you can find. I don't even live in Coronado, well at least not in this life, but I go to Wag n Tails because they have EVERYTHING or they can get it. The attention to detail, the friendly people, the location, and on and on, this is a great place if you are looking for anything for your dog (or cat too). read more

5 stars! This place is wonderful! Everyone working in there is pleasant and always has a smile on their face when you walk in the door! Great selection of toys, leashes, and more pet essentials. Worth a visit if you ask me! read more

This place is so cute and has everything you need! Shelly is so helpful at the register and gives awesome service. She always answers all my questions with a smile. Missing one star because the lady that does the grooming never calls is back and we've called twice and left two messages. Other than that, they are superb! read more

For christmas I bought my dog a pack of 3 avocado toys, he plays with them everyday! We come often to wash him too. They have a lot of dog cloths in so many colors! They also have adorable dog cookies. read more

Legitimately the best customer service. We were visiting and needed a quick brushing for our Aussie and they could not have been more helpful to us, especially since we are new dog owners. Great advice. Great service. Great dog loving staff. read more

I LOVE this place! Since the moment you step in everyone is friendly and helpful. It was my first time doing the self dog wash and I was impressed with the service and the shampoo! Usually at other places they mix it with water and that reduces the quality! The conditioner was great too! Thank you! read more

I LOVE this store! When we first moved to Coronado, I thought they would be overpriced since it was a small shop but I was wrong! I compared prices to the other places I shopped and they were the same and in some cases even better!! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I totally recommend this place. They are top dog and the cat's meow for us!! read more

Really nice place. Staff was friendly and were real dog experts. Dog wash was only $12 and they provide everything. Great way to try their products and tools. Prices were friendly too! We will be in again. Thank you! ( I even went to the trouble to learn how to use yelp to write this review...so I really liked it!) read more

Wag'n Tails - All clean! - Pet Stores Near Me - Coronado, California

This place is heaven for my pup! The groomer here is amazing. She is the only one I trust trimming my pup's nails, and I used to be a veterinary assistant. My little guy hates having his nails trimmed, and other places are just to rough. I've found out vet techs have muzzled him, even though he doesn't bite or growl at all! Here, she just plops him on the table, and gets to work. She must have some sort of crazy positive energy that dogs can sense, because my guy just relaxes and lets her do her thing. Plus, its insanely affordable, and she does anal glands as well! As for the boutique, it can be a little pricey, but they do offer a military discount :) Plus, there stuff is totally worth it. My little guy is always treated to one of their amazing looking doggie biscuits after his nail trim. I haven't used the bathing tubs, only because I can easily wash him at home, but it may be worth it after the dog beach one of these times. The staff is beyond friendly, and the location is convenient. Definitely stop in with your pup when you're in town, get him/her a nice little treat, and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of this amazing little shop. read more

I checked this place out because I figured I could get my dog something on the way home from work. Its a pretty small store and they do have a lot of selection on collars which I liked because every other store has the same exact selection. I didn't by anything though, I thought it was very much over priced. I am sure most residents of Coronado don't care about the price but I couldn't justify buying a $60 collar or a $25-$35 plushie read more

I went to the store here, I haven't taken a dog. they had items in the store i haven't seen at similar pet shops in seattle. i've been looking for a new collar for my dog for a while and i found a really cute one with whales on it haha. read more

Yep, the store is neat as a pin, and the location is great. But....they really don't like dogs who have come from the beach. The manager, dark-haired guy mentioned in other reviews is super condescending, for example yesterday: "you people need to get the sand off your animals before you come in here." Uh....that is why I'm here? I accidentally squirted out of the tub while rinsing off my dog, and I got the "sir! you have to, blah, blah, blah..." Then the lady who works there is constantly wiping around my feet every two minutes with a mop to get every speck of water off the floor. These folks are tense. I get it, clean, bright, and safe....but relax folks. Oh, and the bathroom is now off-limits. I just had prostate surgery two months ago, but "the Starbucks across the street has a bathroom." Hey we own a side business, a coin laundry in the 'hood, and we allow CUSTOMERS to use our bathroom. This is freaking Coronado for pete's sake. Hardly the tweaker, homeless center for S.D.! We've used the place maybe a dozen times over the past several years and every time it is the same. I hope someone opens another place in Coronado - with San Diego attitude. read more

In SD from LA for a weekend staycation- brought the pups to Coronado Dog Beach and moseyed over afterwards. Not to say they would do this every time, because they really didn't have to- but we missed their self-wash hours by an hour and Brian was nice enough to let us use it anyway (which meant they had JUST finished cleaning those tubs for the night and now would have to clean it all over again)! Service is exceptional- they have a great group of guys working there. Best self-wash facility we've ever used. Bonus- SUPER cute collars! See you guys next time! read more

Location Location Location. I use that word a lot in this review because it's really what this store hinges on. Nice dog store/DIY bathing/grooming location. It's not worth the special drive just for the store, but it's in a fabulous location if your in the area and/or visiting Coronado dog beach. We came to check this out after an afternoon at Coronado Dog Beach on a Tuesday around 4PM. Location is the best! There are lots of stores and eateries around too and parking is abundant. The DIY dog grooming area looks nicely maintained. The washing stations are reminiscent of an open shower concept. The stations look specially designed to accommodate big dogs and your dog can easily climb a couple stairs to enter and exit instead of you having to lift your behemoth into and out of a tub. I saw one owner happily washing their dog and looked like it was really easy for her to reach above the dividing wall and attend to her dog. They also have a nice selection of premium dog food including Orijen (that's a rare and pleasant sight), Wellness, Merrick, etc. They have a limited selection of everything else, but do stock some chew toys, chew treats, treats, collars/leashes/harnesses, tags, apparel, etc. Nothing that big of a deal, but nice to have. We bought a bully stuck and a $17 octopus chew toy that is supposedly made to stand up to chewers. Angus is a medium tough chewer, so hopefully he won't be able to rip into it. The staff were friendly, but not overly. They told me that they bought the store 8 years ago and looks like they've been doing a pretty good job. They had a 70% off sale of some items. Not a lot to choose from on sale, but for that size of a discount, there rarely ever is. Again location. If it weren't for the close proximity to the dog beach and compounded that Coronado is out of the way for most people, I don't think I would come here a second time. The DIY dog wash is OK, but as Amiee L. said, there's only two stalls. Because I don't have a big dog, I don't think it would be as easy for me to reach down and wash him. I'd probably have to stand on a stool to be able to wash him and that wouldn't be comfortable for me. So if I were to judge it without considering the location, it'd be just OK, but as a complete package it gets another star. read more

I wish I could say I've washed my dog here, but I haven't been able to, for two reasons: inconvenient opening time, and overcrowded store. I love taking my pup to the beach, and prefer Coronado's dog beach to OB because it's less crowded, nicer people and dogs. But most people go early in the morning before work or school... and this place doesn't open until 9:30 or 10. OB's dog wash opens at 7. One time I did manage to come in the middle of the day, but left with a still-dirty dog after waiting in line for 20 minutes. Opening earlier would probably get them a lot more business... including mine. read more

The staff were super nice and friendly. I have an American Staffordshire Terrier so she can't have just a tennis ball she needs kong ball/toy. I asked around and was referred to this S shaped toy for $15 bucks and boy am i impressed! Geneva has not been able to destroy it for works and she loves sinking her teeth into every section of the toy. I love that i can play tug of war and it won't hurt her or rip apart. Thanks a lot for the recommendation! $15 well spend! Also their peanut butter cups are to die for! read more

Cannot say enough good things about this place. Always great, but Melanie went out of her way to help with an emergency dog bath late on a Saturday and saved us during our two week dog sitting adventure. Professional, considerate, even helped by taking the dog bath duties herself to help out. Highly recommend as THE place to go with your dog. Spread the word: the best in not just Coronado but downtown SD as well. read more

I always go here first before heading to Petco (gotta support the independents!) and they almost always have what I'm looking for. The owner is so friendly and makes you feel welcome every time you come to shop. You're also greeted by her huge, lovable Great Dane. There's also a self-service dog wash and an independent groomer (Rose) in the back. Rose does a great job on our fluffy coton! read more

Awesome place. I took my dog and my roommate's dog after spending a day at the beach. The staff is great, very helpful. I would recommend to anyone with a dog or two. The tubs were big and it was sweet not having to lean over my bath tub at home. Thanks! read more

Best pet store I've been to. Great people. High quality products. My dog loved every recommendation they provided.
