Dunk’n Dogs

The staff are all friendly with the exception of a worker named mike. I just called to try and schedule an appointment and he was actually very short on the phone and not very friendly.

Recently I had shoulder surgery and washing my 3 GSDs is really difficult. I discovered this little great spot. Brought my 3 big Shepherds for a wash. The staff was really helpful ! The equipment, supplies and staff made it a great experience. My dogs coats look and feel great. I am definitely going to return. Thank you to everyone who was so helpful at Dunk’n Dogs!

Haley did a superb nail job on my mastiff Cy. Great price, great service, and equally important, she’s a real looker! I approve this message.

I’m not a fan… I gave the grooming a chance based off of Unilocal reviews and that it wasn’t too far from home. After having been there, I’m thinking there are a lot more unhappy customers out there that just don’t right reviews. The first thing I didn’t like was the cages with big fans/​blowers attached to them. If my dog is there 2.5 — 3 hours, I’m wondering how much time he’s spending in that cage when it’s hot and humid in the building itself. It was touch and go with which staff were friendly and which ones weren’t… I can tell you the owner isn’t at the top of my list. While waiting for my dog, I overheard another customer who had returned with her dog because his tail had been cut and he had a rather large burn mark on him that no one even told her about. I didn’t realize it until I got home, but they broke my dog’s collar and never mentioned that either. Luckily my dog did not suffer any cuts or burns but I could tell it wasn’t a great experience for him as it was very loud and hot inside. The parking lot is also pretty cramped and you may have to wait for a spot to park. The only good thing I will say is they did have a store with food samples and reasonably priced bully sticks. If I ever return, it won’t be for he grooming though.

I moved to San Diego about 2 years ago and was hesitant on finding another dog groomer for my 6 year old Shih tzu. I was lucky enough in AZ to have the same groomer for my little girl for 4 years, so as you can imagine it was extremely scary for me to even begin searching for another experienced groomer who loves my dog as much as I do.
BUT luck was on my side and by chance I found Wendy Hansen who is not only experienced but also gifted at what she does. My dog loves Wendy and for the past 2 years she has been the only one who grooms Baby.
Recently, Wendy moved to Dunk’n Dogs n Clairemont so I took Baby there to get groomed. I didn’t have any issues because again Wendy was taking care of her and I knew she was in good hands. About a week ago I called Dunk’n Dog to schedule an appointment with Wendy, and I was told «They didn’t know when Wendy would be back» & they tried to hand me off to another groomer named Elizabeth. Keep in mind that about 3 weeks ago I sent a co-​worker to Dunk’n Dogs to have Wendy groom her dog, but again they handed her off to Elizabeth and the outcome was not good.
My co-​worker was unhappy for a few reasons. 1) They chopped her dogs hair and she was extremely unhappy with the outcome. 2) When she went to check out and pay the bill was significantly more than what they quoted her. She asked what they were charging her for and that’s when the manager stated they made a mistake and over charged her for items that she didn’t even purchase. 3) When she asked about her dogs anal glands, they mentioned they forgot and had to take the dog to the back and then wash her up again. Thank goodness my co-​worker is observant or else she would have over paid for a service she was unhappy with.
I mentioned to Dunk’n Dog that Wendy is the only one who grooms my dog and I would like to know when she would be back. Again they stated that they didn’t know when she would return. I took it upon myself to call Wendy and see what happened. She noted that she no longer worked for Dunk’n Dogs & resigned (FOR GREAT REASONS). I was extremely unhappy to hear the reasons why Wendy left Dunk’n Dog Wash, and because of this I wanted to take the time to say «SHAME ON YOU» Dunk’n Dog Wash! You can’t expect to have great service WITHOUT great experienced workers & company owners!
YOU LOST A GREAT GROOMER WHO NOT ONLY LOVES WHAT SHE DOES, BUT ALSO SHOWS IT IN HER WORK!

Nice facility, nice staff, resonable prices. What else can I say?

This place is really awesome. The staff went out of their way to help me out with my new rescue dog. Prices are standard for the area, the parking lot is a little crowed and difficult to see at first. I actually had a hard time spotting it coming from the 5. My Dog looked so cute even though I didn’t know what I wanted.

I came in the other day to get my dogs washed (we all got a little sandy at the beach) and i was very impressed! I certainly didn’t have low expectations but these guys blew me away! First off, the girl who greeted me initially was so wonderful, I would come back just for her. I was able to get my dogs in super fast and the tubs they have make it so easy to wash the dogs yourself. The store was very clean and the energy was awesome. We’ll definitely be coming back after our next messy adventure.

Great experience! After a day at the beach the furry kids needed a bath before entering the house! My girlfriend had been to this place years ago and really liked it.
Walked in a put the kids in a tub together. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They told us how to use everything and made sure there wasn’t anything we needed. They had a ear cleaning solution and cotton balls and even a blueberry face wash that was safe for their eyes and mouth!
We spent $ 24 on 2 dogs and washed them in minutes! Great that I didn’t have to strain my back washing them in the tub at home!
When we were paying we signed up for the regulars card where you pay for 9 washes and the 10^th is free! That won’t be hard for us to achieve! They also told us that nail clipping is $ 8 and blow drying is $ 2. This visit we only did a wash but good to know about the other services!

I’ve been here for self service and because my usual place was booked went here for a full service bath. Very disorganized. There’s no way my dog got the blueberry facial that is listed as standard in the service list. He was also not properly brushed out… ears were a mess. I also requested his feet be trimmed. they were not when I went to pick him up and had to leave and come back. paid 45 bucks. not worth it. my usual place is 35 and the dog comes out looking 100% better. mismanaged. not coming back.
7/13…The owner contacted me offering to re-​do the bath. I declined, but want to thank the owner for being responsive to me. Perhaps it was just an off-​day there, but I’m going to stick with my normal place.
7/13…The owner of this business obviously cares about her customers, and together we worked to a mutually satisfactory compromise regarding my less than good experience there.
I thank her for caring and appreciate her responsiveness!
⁷⁄₁₅ updating to 3 stars. Owner is ok by me.

Not an expert in pet stores, but I found this store clean and the staff very friendly. Available parking. They carry different products such as dogs food. They provide different services such as pets hair cuts.

I bring my dog here third time already and I love it and I bring also my friends my family. It’s a self dog wash so you don’t have to worry about the mess at home;)

I take my dog here to be groomed. I know my dog isn’t the easiest to deal with, but I’ve never had any issues taking him here.
My dog is a mutt so I’m not too particular on the cut, just that he comes back clean, trimmed, and happy, which is what I get with Dunk N Dogs!

This was a really pleasant experience. I’m dog sitting for a friend and I brought her with me for a long Mission Bay walk that ended in her jumping in the water. Now I don’t want her to be a stinker of a dog after Memorial Day so I thought I can get her squeaky clean here, and I did just that! Not only was it a smooth process here, but staff are genuine and caring and ever so helpful to 1^st timers. I’ll be back.

We are regulars at this place. They are professional and very helpful. We have yet to be disappointed with their services. Today, we finally set an appointment for our «Wooly» husky to get deshedded and what an outcome! I personally take great care of my boys and was skeptical at first especially when I have a long hair husky. First time we done it and we will defintely be back sometime in the future for another deshedding. We always come with our two huskies. Mike was Diesel victim today, but Mike won. Thanks again. I hope I got his name right.

They did a great job grooming my shih tzu foster dog. He was recently busted out of the Devore shelter, filthy, overgrown, and maybe a bit matted. I’d hoped they could leave his hair a bit longer than a shave, but they ended up pretty much shaving him, probably due to matting. I don’t blame them, I know that’s necessary. They did a good job with his face and tail, leaving it a bit longer. :)
My only teeeeny tiny hesitation is that they said it would take 2.5−3 hours and it took longer than that. I know things happen, it’s not a huge deal, but… you know.
The people working there were friendly and nice! I would take my dog back here again. :)

Dunkin Dogs continues to impress. My furry kids love to go for their baths! Lindsey, Elizabeth and all the staff are wonderful to the patrons… Fur or no fur!
Brava!

Best place to take your dog. Everyone is so nice. Cherry was awesome with my hyper pit bull.

Absolutely love this place. Maverick our american akita loves it too! They always have a wide variety of shampoos/​conditioners, cologne, tooth paste, brushes, ect. It makes washing your dog fun! Then they have this industrial blow dryer that is amazing and dries him quick, he has soooo much fur. Its cheap too! $ 15!!! I won’t go anywhere else. They also have great dog grooming if your pooch needs a hair cut or nail trim!

I am a very happy customer.
To be honest though after our first appointment with Dunk’n Dogs I got a little bit stressed out because although I loved everything they did for my dog, my husband told me that they told him the next time we schedule an appointment for our dog that we might have to stay there with him while he gets his hair cut because I think they had a difficult time with him initially.
I figured well whatever I will try them again and I’m so happy that I did because I scheduled my appointment over the phone with Elizabeth. I told her about what happened last time and she said that she would like to try to work with my dog if it’s okay with me and everything was a breeze. She is amazing and soooo sweet. I loved everything she did for my dog Hiro.
Professional grooming packages start at $ 25 and can range anywhere up to $ 75 depending on breed and then there are other add-​ons you can add to the grooming packages. Everyone here is so friendly and accommodating that I will definitely be a regular customer. Thank you!
