Our Story
Dirty Dogs was born out of a simple idea: San Diego dogs deserve better. We started as a small, passionate team of pet lovers who believed that cage-free grooming wasn't just a trend — it was the right way to care for dogs. No cages, no unnecessary stress, no shortcuts. Just happy dogs and the people who love them.
From our first location in San Diego, we've grown to seven neighborhood shops across the city — from Torrey Hills and Carmel Mountain Ranch to Hillcrest, Mission Valley, Solana Beach, Del Mar Highlands, and Leucadia. Each location is built around the same commitment: giving your dog a safe, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable experience every visit.
Whether your pup needs a full cage-free groom, a self-serve dog wash, or you're stocking up on healthy food and supplies, we've built every Dirty Dogs location to be your one-stop shop for pet care in San Diego. We carry only the products we'd use on our own pets, and our groomers are trained to handle dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments with patience and care.
We're proud to be San Diego's trusted neighborhood dog groomers — and we can't wait to meet your dog.
