Green Dog Wash

I this place!!! The staff is amazing, incredibly patient, kind to the dogs and they take pride in their work. Have been bringing my little Yorkie, Coco, to this location for over a year and never have I been disappointed. The staff takes their time, makes sure they know exactly what you want. The place is pristine and well kept and most important of all the dogs are happy. I’ve recommended this place to several of my friends and will continue to do so.

My baby just got his first haircut here and he’s beautiful! Melanie did a great job and I like that you can watch from outside if you want. It was fast and price comparable to other places. I’ve used then before for the self wash too. I’ll definitely be back for both services. Just make an appointment in advance for the groom. They’re pretty booked and I know why!

My pups and I love this place! I have two small dogs and regularly drop in without an appointment for a nail trim. They are accommodating and fit us in right away. The staff is always super friendly and especially to the puppies :) I have left the dogs there for grooming but it’s also nice they have stations with products for you to wash the dogs on your own. This can be a nice bonding experience with your fur babies. It is a little pricey but the products are gentle and organic and you can be sure they are treating your pups the best. The only downfall is the parking. During lunch hours the chipotle dominates the tiny spaces so I usually just skip that hassle and park in residential areas to walk the dogs.

Always great service. The groomers are detailed and very nice to the dogs. I always recommend to all Goldendoodle owners.

I would like to start this with a positive feed back. Green Dog wash was a great place to drop off your family pet if you live in the area, but unfortunately the staff (including management) are extremely rude and after 1 year of taking our Siberian husky to get groomed. We get a call to reschedule our apt due to one of their staff members being new and according to the manager (Brooke) our dog is too aggressive. By this being said I wouldn’t recommend this place. Specially by their being so many other places in South Tampa that groom pets and even come to you. I would hope the owners of this place reconsider the employees that are non-​caring college students & they’re not customer satisfaction oriented. Hopefully this will help some of you

This place is the best! I have a 10 year old dog who is very difficult when it comes to grooming his feet and face. He also has arthritis and they have always been very delicate with him. All of the people who work there really care about dogs and are extremely nice. Its always a pleasant experience. I feel like there prices are very reasonable and comparable. I love that they are by appointment only and don’t use cages. I recently moved out of state and trying to find a new groomer. I miss the Green Dog Wash!

This review is for self-​service dog wash.
The smell of the place, especially the sink, was very horrible (I guessed it was from cleaning agent).
It was late, and I needed to wash our two dogs before heading to our place.
I was so exhausted that day, so I decided to just wash there and bare with the unpleasant smell.
When I turned on the dryer to dry the first dog, all disgusting furs/​hairs on the floor from previous animals just flied everywhere. It was super nasty.
If you don’t own a vacuum (which is weird), please buy one. If you already have it, please utilize it.
I will never come back to this store.

Love this place! Definitely a bit pricey, but worth every penny. They try to set you up with the same groomer each time so that the dog will consistently work with one person and (hopefully) get comfortable. I really appreciated that aspect as every time we picked her up/​dropped her up there was a sense of familiarity with our dog and the groomer already knew that she was nervous about getting her nails trimmed, etc. The biggest plus: our dog came back smelling amazing (non-​dog smell), and would smell that good for a week! They unfortunately don’t sell the exact shampoo/​spray they use (it’s made in-​house just for their bathing/​grooming services), but that alone is worth the price.
I will note that our dog once got razor burn on her neck because we asked her to trim that area. The next time, I made sure to note that to the groomer, and there was never an incident afterwards.
You can choose to do self-​bath, pay for a bath, bath and groom, or just do a spruce up (face, sanitary trim, paws). All baths come with teeth brushing too! We’ve moved away, or otherwise, we would continue to be faithful customers.

I took my Newdoundland there yesterday. I was a nervous wreck as the last groomer shaved my boy. Amanda was knowledgable about double coated dogs and I acually left the shop while her royal highness had her spa day. Three hours later my girl had pretty pink bows and was groomed like she should be. Very happy. Taking my boy on Friday for a bath and mani-​pedi. This area needs a sale who can do a Newf! Glad I found one.

Terrible! Terrible! Terrible!
I took my larger dog there once on a whim and since she doesn’t need to be dried and she’s 12 years old we enjoyed the experience (ramps and such). Oh, and we had our own shampoo! The junk they use there is either drying or oily (according to what an employee told me) plus it’s bar soap so it sits around collecting bacteria all day!
So, today, I have my 2 kids (12 and 5) and my 2 dogs (papillon and pitbull) what a fun adventure to walk to the Dog Wash and play with the pups! Not so much! It was SO loud we couldn’t even talk to each other. The service was terrible! I only knew what to do because I had been there once before! NO ONE HELPED US. My daughter is smart but she’s 12, ok? She could have used a tutorial on the water spout.
And when we went to turn on the dryer (for my poor little papillon) all kinds of DISGUSTING FUR from animals before started flying EVERYWHERE!!!
DO THEY OWN A VACUUM???
When I went to leave she had to ask my name 3 times because she couldn’t HEAR me! I shouldn’t have even paid because I am so disgusted!
I would rather borrow my neighbors hose and use my own blow dryer.
SO DISAPPOINTED!

We have taken advantage of The green dog washes grooming services on four occasions now. Staff are Very friendly, attentive and kind to our pet, exactly what we were looking for. We used them for a wash, nail trim and gland express. Services is fairly prompt– taking about 2 hrs from drop off and they work hard to fit you in. The only reason I’m giving 4 rather than 5 stars is cost is on the high side if you have a large breed in that they charge by weight.

This is for the Pet Self-​Wash only.
I stopped in over the weekend to spruce up my two Cavaliers and Green Dog is close to the house. I had been to one other doggie wash in Texas that was really fun — there was café next door where you could place orders for drinks and there were always one or two groomers hanging out to help with additional services.
The good news about Green Dog is that it is clean, has large stainless steel tubs, retractable water hoses set to temp, plenty of space, and aprons to keep you dry. Unfortunately, the positives end there for me. Let’s start with cost — the self-​wash is expensive. $ 15– per dog (no multi-​dog discount or less cost for small dogs) plus $ 2 to blow them dry. This was what I would normally pay to have my pets bathed by a groomer (including nail trim) back in Texas — yikes.
In addition, if you are looking for high-​end dog washing products forget it — you get soap on a rope — pllleeaze, not for my pure bread girls — and there is no conditioner. UGH. Further, it is so LOUD that it is impossible to have any kind of conversation. My girls hated the jet engine cold air blower, and could not tolerate it for too long. They looked like fluff balls with some tiny knots in their hair — and smelled like damp dog when we walked out, so I had to condition, warm blow, fragrance and slick them down when I got home to get them looking like the breed standard. Thankfully, I also know how to trim their nails as that would have been an extra charge too. Finally, it would have been impossible for me to wash both of them on my own because there is no holding area or day care.
Sadly, I will not be returning. Green Dog Wash has some positives, but is too utilitarian for my taste, and the value is only apparent for larger breeds (but bring your own shampoo!).

My bulldog DOES NOT like getting her nails trimmed. Vet refused to do it anymore. But green dog has done it twice now, she barely even resisted the second time. I won’t go anywhere else.

After having my Lhasa Apso groomed at Petsmart for years, I decided to try Green Dog Wash and have been coming here ever since. They do a great job and are reasonably priced.

Just went here to get Beulah’s nails trimmed. One of the groomers held her while the other one used a Dremel, type grinder and she was done in less than 10 minutes for only $ 10.00. They were very gentle with her and after a little initial distress around the noise, she seemed to do fine. Great experiece!

Just as the other reviewers have said – this is the only place I will take my dog for grooming. Everyone is great and they are true animal lovers! It never feels rushed and you get to see everything that is going on. I love it when I go back to pick up my dog and she is half asleep on the lap of one of the groomers! Love Green Dog!

I trust Green Dog Wash above any other groomer in the S. Tampa location. They take care of my pup and know him and me by name. They make me feel like they have a relationship with my dog and I like that.
They only groom one dog at a time and they do it on a table in the front of the store. No cage drying here and no sketchy business in a back room that you can’t see. They clean up spotless after every groom and are always so sweet to the dogs. I see them grooming all types of dogs
The other great thing is there baths. You can take you dog here after a day at the dog park to was him/​her down before getting your house a mess. They use all natural products so you can be sure your dog is getting the best!

There are not enough stars in the universe for this place. I will not take my dog ANYWHERE else. I don’t wash my dog, they do it for me. And they are wonderful with him. Can’t really say whether the prices are good b/​c I don’t care. I just want a place that is going to treat my dog the way I would. I’m very picky about groomers and this place is the absolute best.

I have two pooches with very unique personalities. The youngest is very timid of everything and the other is the barkiest pup in the world. Not only are their personalities a challenge, but Delilah being a wire hair daschund/​poodle and the little one being a maltese mix, they typically have pretty unruly hair. Green Dog wash was able to overcome both of these challenges! This has been the only place where I see my barky dog relaxed and at peace! When I came to pick her up she was even hanging out loose leash with another dog… not typical for her! The smaller more timid one was also getting tons of TLC and attention when I came to get her.
The way my girls were treated with love and attention was nothing in comparison to the way they looked! I was BLOWN away by how soft and prim my shaggy wire hair Delilah looked! The smaller one also looked amazing!
I love this place and am just very upset that I had to move and have no idea where to take my girls now. :(

The only time my two pups have received a bath while I remained dry was at Green Dog Wash. The concept of a dog wash was new to me, but it’s basically a self-​service dog wash. They have professional bath stations, harnesses to keep the dogs in the bath (always a problem with my Boston Terrier!), temperature regulated water, organic, locally made soaps, towels to dry off your dogs and stylish, waterproof aprons to keep you dry.
Baths range from $ 12−20ish depending on the level of clean you want the dog to get. Full service grooming is also available, though I’ve never tried it. The staff is very friendly and extremely helpful– Steve was even willing to teach and help me use the professional nail clippers on my wiggly Jack Russell. Seven, the resident store dog is friendly and eager to play with 4-​legged customers.
Great place to wash your dog if you live in a small apartment or don’t have a utility tub. Would recommend to anyone who doesn’t want dog hair in their tub!
