DOG WASH & CAGE-FREE GROOMING IN HILLCREST
OUR SERVICES AT DIRTY DOGS HILLCREST
Cage-Free Grooming
Cage-Free Grooming Our professional groomers provide full-service baths, haircuts, nail trims, ear cleaning, and more — all in a completely cage-free environment. Your dog is never left alone in a kennel between services. From the moment they arrive to the moment you pick them up, they're in caring hands.
Self-Serve Dog Wash
No appointment needed. Walk in and use our professional-grade wash stations equipped with warm water, blow dryers, shampoo, conditioner, and towels — everything you need for a thorough wash at a fraction of the cost of a full groom. Perfect for in-between visits or dogs who prefer their own parents doing the washing.
Organic Pet Products
Browse our in-store selection of organic and natural dog food, shampoos, conditioners, and supplies — the same products our groomers use every day. All products are free from harsh chemicals and chosen with your dog's health in mind.
