Dog Grooming in San Diego: Locations, Services & Prices
Dog grooming prices in San Diego depend on the dog’s size, coat, requested haircut, and the salon’s service format. Some groomers publish weight-based menus, while others show starting prices or provide a quote after you enter your dog’s details.

Top Dog Wash & Groom
Top Dog Wash & Groom is at 3371 Adams Avenue in Normal Heights. Its current menu is unusually transparent because it publishes grooming prices by dog weight.
The Spa Bath currently starts at $40 for the smallest published weight tier and rises by size. The Essentials package, which adds face, feet, and sanitary trimming, starts at $55. The Works adds a full-body haircut and currently starts at $65, while its separate Doodle Works menu starts at $70.
The business also currently lists a 30-minute self-wash at $20 and a nail trim at $19. Appointments are required according to its service information.
See current services and prices on the official Top Dog Wash & Groom website.
Dunk’N Dogs
Dunk’N Dogs is at 3056 Clairemont Drive. Its current grooming menu lists a Full Service Wash starting at $40, a Face, Feet & Fanny service starting at $55, and Full Body Grooming starting at $75.
The Full Service Wash includes bathing, blow drying, brush-out, ear cleaning, and nail clipping. Full Body Grooming adds a full haircut, with the business noting that price depends on size, breed, coat, and requested styling.
Dunk’N Dogs recommends appointments but states that walk-ins may be accepted when availability allows. Check the official Dunk’N Dogs grooming page for current pricing and booking.
Paw Commons
Paw Commons has several San Diego-area locations, including Bay Park, Hillcrest, and Kearny Mesa. The current grooming menu at its San Diego locations lists a Basic Bath starting at $29, a Premium Bath starting at $46, and Full Service & Haircut starting at $73.
Pricing varies by dog size, breed, coat condition, and temperament, so Paw Commons recommends contacting the location for a personalized estimate. Current standalone extras include a nail trim from $19 and other optional grooming services.
See one current local menu on the official Paw Commons Hillcrest grooming page.
Camp Run-A-Mutt Point Loma
Camp Run-A-Mutt Point Loma is at 4030 Sports Arena Boulevard and combines daycare, boarding, grooming, and training at the same location.
Its current grooming menu lists “Just the Basics,” a bath, blow dry, and brush-out service, at $60–$110. The larger “Give Me the Works” package is listed at $70–$120 or more. The business states that grooming prices can vary by requested length, temperament, and overall coat condition.
See the official Camp Run-A-Mutt Point Loma page for current rates and appointments.
Dirty Dogs
Dirty Dogs operates several San Diego locations, including Hillcrest, Mission Valley, Torrey Hills, Del Mar Highlands, and Carmel Mountain Ranch. The business uses a cage-free grooming format with one dog assigned to a stylist during the service.
Its current adult grooming page describes professional bath and haircut packages but does not present one simple universal starting price for every adult full groom in the page text. It does publish puppy packages starting at $54 for short-haired puppies and $69 for long-haired puppies, along with individual walk-in service prices.
For adult grooming, use the booking process to get the price for your dog rather than treating the puppy or a la carte rates as an adult full-groom quote. See the official Dirty Dogs grooming page.
How San Diego Dog Grooming Prices Work
Published grooming menus commonly use one of three systems: starting prices, weight-based tiers, or a custom quote. A $40 bath and a $75 full groom are not directly comparable because the included services are different.
- Bath-only services usually cost less than services that include trimming or a full haircut.
- Dog size can move the price into a different published tier.
- Haircut style and coat condition can affect the final quote.
- Add-ons such as nail services or extra brushing may be separate or included depending on the package.
Do You Need an Appointment?
For full professional grooming, booking ahead is the safest choice. Dunk’N Dogs says appointments are recommended but may accept walk-ins when available, while Dirty Dogs offers online booking for professional grooming. Top Dog states that appointments are required.

Grooming With Daycare or Boarding
Some facilities make it possible to combine grooming with daycare or an overnight stay. Paw Commons and Camp Run-A-Mutt are examples of businesses that provide multiple services at the same facility.
For daytime care, see Dog Daycare in San Diego. For overnight stays, compare Dog Boarding in San Diego.
