El Cajon Dog Wash & Grooming

Love love love this place!!! They always do a great job and make my dog feel comfortable! My dog is very nervous around strangers and I can always hear them talking sweet to him to calm him down. Great people, great business!

I called the same day and I was able to get in. The only reason why I call them was because all the wonderful Unilocal reviews and OMG they are Amazing. Thank you so much for making our dog comfortable, happy and supper clean. We are definitely coming back.

After Petsmart told me their scheduling system was down this morning, I googled local groomers and stumbled upon El Cajon dog wash & grooming salon. I decided to give them a try and I am so happy I did. Chris is so friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and grooming.
Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised when Chris made room in his busy, busy schedule to for my pups’ full service baths.
I have never felt more comfortable and satisfied with a groomer and will definitely be returning as well as recommending!

Could not have asked for a better experience. Chris is amazingly nice and helpful.
I took my bulldog in to use the do it yourself dog wash. As it was my first time, I didn’t know what to do, the rules were, ect… Chris spent an ample amount of time explaining to me tips and tricks. He showed my where everything was, how to use everything, and helped me get my big guy up in the tub.
Our dog loved it. He was so calm, and enjoyed his bath. Once he was all done, Chris gave him lots of love and scratches and treats. It was a great experience.

We found this groomer on Unilocal and after reading the reviews decided to take our dog in. When we first arrived, Chris, the owner, was super nice and friendly and he made great efforts to make our dog comfortable even though she was nervous. Our dog is very timid and they treated her like she was their dog. She had a bath, brush out, nails clipped and ear cleaning. The prices are also great. This is a kennel free groomer so your dog is not stuffed in a crate until you pick them up! I 100% recommend this groomer!

I was referred to Chris by a friend of mine and I called a day prior to wanting an appt, he was going on vacation, but turned me over to his colleague, Sam and I was able to get my little girl in the next morning. He was very good with Elsa. I just got her a few days prior, so I wasn’t sure how she would do, but she was an angel and she looked beautiful when I picked her up 2 hrs. later. He was quick, efficient and very professional. See picture I added… I thought it was a little pricey, but for the quick notice and the great job he did, it was worth it. I will definitely bring her back! I felt very comfortable bringing her here and leaving her here for the 1^st time! Thank you!

We brought our 8 year old Siberian Husky here yesterday. He’s always a huge hassle for me to bathe. And I wanted to have a clean dog for our cross country move. The quote they had given me was the best yet for his breed. When they had called me to let me know when he was ready he couldn’t stop telling me how awesome & mellow my dog was. Pretty rare for a husky. And had nothing but awesome things to say. Which was nice because usually it’s just a «he’s ready thanks for your business». It’s nice to hear how your dog did. Really wish I had stumbled on this place sooner. I highly recommend it. And will tell my friends about it. Y’all do a great job and offer great prices. And I love the no crates. Our last groomer used them and had to re bathe him I’m sure y’all know why. I know he also LOVED that bonus.

I was house sitting in the area and decided to bring my dog in for a nail trim. They were pretty busy so I waited about 15min to get helped but it was worth the wait. The nail trim service was the best I’ve seen which included the dremel and paw hair clipping… All that plus the friendliest service for $ 7 was a steal! I can’t bear to trim my dogs nails since he is fidgety and cries. The owner made him feel at ease and I didn’t hear him Unilocal which was very comforting. Thank you for the neato business card magnet, I left it at my family’s house so they can bring their dogs too. I had an excellent experience here and will be back!
P. S. My dog loved the animal cracker treats :)

I just used this place today. I had seen the sign for a few weeks now since moving into my new home about 2 blocks from here and I finally made the call. When I called I was greeted by the owner, Chris, Who said I was more than welcome to walk in and have my little chihuahua, cheetos, with me. He’d be more than happy to trim his nails for me. His assistant (sorry I don’t remember her name! :/​) was fantastic! She greeted me as I walked and already knew I was coming, said shed take care of my little man, and although he wasn’t happy about his nails getting trimmed he came out of there happy and loving her!
Chris was also awesome with my Boxer mix and helped with a broken nail she had recommending a great vet just around the corner.
Overall I am highly impressed with Chris and his assistant. They were professional, in love with not only my puppy, but also others. They had dog’s roaming around and didnt require mine to be on a leash, which was refreshing seeing as my chihuahua HATES the leash. It was comfortable and cozy and I’m SO going back next month for my puppies next trimming!

This place is great. I have been taking my rescue dog here for over a year. Chris really loves his animals. They are not kept in cages but are free to roam and play. If they have a problem they put up a little yard for them. My dog is very timid and gets aggressive when she is frightened. Chris was patient and gentle and now Ellie loves him. Sadly we are moving out of San Diego. Chris gave me here record to give to my new groomer and gave me some advice on how to find a good groomer. I am going to miss him and his staff. If I could give him 10 stars I would

This was a fantastic facility! Great people great service I will be back soon! Thank you very much!!!

Took my Pug Django in to have his hair trimmed and nails clipped. I called to confirm my appointment Chris was very nice and told me I could bring him in then, which was a hour early. They were finish within a hour. My looked and smelled great. Chris was also very helpful with a local dog stores to try out. All the employees I met while my dog was there were very nice.

If I could give more stars, I would. I brougt my rescue puppy Lola there and was amazed at the genuine interest Chris took in her and her well being. The prices are very resonable and I love the choices of services offered, from full service grooming to ‘do-​it-​yourself’ washing. I reccomend El Cajon Dog Wash and Grooming to anyone in the area… and worth the drive if not in the area. Keep up the good work Chris and Lola will see you soon.

Always friendly. They seem to really like dogs and really like what they do. Our dog gets a good grooming and is well cared for while she is there. We have gone there for years and will continue to.

Took my rescue Chi, Peanut, here to have his nails clipped, hair trimmed and washed. The people here made the whole process very easy. Dropped him off and about an hour later he was done. Chris (the owner) was very friendly and helpful and showed a genuine interest in my dog. He gave me a lot of useful information and was more than willing to answer all my questions. I highly recommend them and if I weren’t moving away I would use them regularly. Thumbs up guys, keep up the good work. Oh, their prices are very fair and I would recommend calling to setup an appointment. The Nutz is happy and smells good again (for at least a few more days). THANKS!

I have been going here for a few months now to get my 10 year old chi/​rat terrier’s nails done. She is a mean ol lady and bites and before I found this place we’d be at a groomer for almost an hour everytime while im trying to muzzle her and hold her and the groomers were scared to death of her and id leave with scrathes all over me. Today was our second visit here and it was perfect, we were in and out and her nails turned out great once again, no bites or aggressiveness here with her. Clean place and great staff. 5 stars for taking great care of my baby.

I have been bringing my two dogs, Angie and Sofie, here for weekly self-​serve washes after Fiesta Island for about three years. Now I bring my son’s dog, as well. The service is great, the prices are reasonable, and their full-​service grooming is top notch, too. The staff is very helpful and friendly.
