I have personally only taken advantage of the self-wash services at southbark but have had a great experience both times. The elevated tubs save my back. The staff is always eager to assist and make sure I have everything I need. All in all, exactly what I needed.Freshly washed and dryed Flufferino photo attached.

I come here for all my pet needs and appreciate the staff making great service recommendations. Their grooming Team is absolutely PRO. That includes the nail trimming services on weekends. My pup loves the treats she gets after our visit here. ;-)

THANK YOU! - S.P. Dog Wash manged to squeez me in for emergency skunk wash (is there any other kind of skunk wash?) Billie is back in the house -he is so happy after sad night in crate in garage. Support local businesses because they do things like this . THANK YOU!

We took our pup in for the anesthesia-free teeth cleaning. The tech was absolutely amazing. During the cleaning, they saw that our pup had a broken tooth. They let us know as soon as they found the broken tooth and didnt charge us for the appointment since wed need to spend hundreds at the vet for an anesthesia cleaning and tooth extraction. We are so grateful they didnt charge us, took good care of our boy, and did an amazing job on the teeth they were able clean (before and after photo attached). We will definitely be back for regular cleanings! Also, tons of amazing treats here! Perfect for raw-fed pups.

South Bark always does a great job with my pup, and they were very accommodating to me on my most recent visit. Really appreciate your service and always enjoy bringing Cocoa here :) thanks!

Such a great place for food, treats and grooming services. Prices are good, and the staff is always friendly and helpful.

Eacel was great! Our girls first time at the groomer and she did very well with the deshed and nail clipping. I could feel a dramatic difference in her coat, there was so much less hair flying everywhere.

Great place. We loved it here and so did our dogs. Very cool set up and many choices of shampoos and conditioners and the blueberry Facials were very nice. Our dogs are bright and sparkling

Amazing owners and awesome space! Went by and got the sweetest Easter basket for the pups and they had so much fun with the dog Easter egg hunt! I will definitely be back!

Great local place! Great customer service and large array of dog and cat food, toys, grooming supplies, etc. We like taking our dog there to get groomed.

Just brought my new dog Cocoa here for the first time and I’m so glad I did! The groomer was really sweet and patient with my anxious dog and he did a fantastic job. Cocoa smells SO GOOD and is SO SOFT!! :) they give your pup an adorable bandana, too. You definitely get what you pay for here. Thank you! Good vibes only at this place! Love it

Hands-down the most knowledgeable pet groomers around! The owner and their staff were amazing! I was beyond pleased during Layla’s first visit!

We love this place...and more importantly, the dogs do too! The setup is great with the outdoor space for waiting/brushingand then nice high tubs for washing. The people who work here clearly love dogs and are very helpful. I have an old large dog and they helped lift her in and out of the tub for me. They think of all of the details and the blueberry products smell divine! My dogs felt soft and smelled great for days afterwards. Well keep coming back...especially after fun at the Grape Street dog park.

Took great care of my baby girl, and she came out looking beautiful.

From Texas and stopped by to grab a harness for our dog and we cant give this place enough praise! The staff was so amazing with Gabby. She is not the most well behaved pooch but she did so well with them! Wish we lived here, we would have them train her!

Love this place! I drove here from El Cajon to give it a try as the self grooming place in LA Mesa just wasnt cutting it. Here they actually talk to you and your dog. Being very kind. Also the blueberry shampoo is sooo worth it. They even had a little hood for my scared sheltie as I blow dried him. Definitely worth the cost for great service and equipment.

Awesome staff and a great selection of cat food

The staff here is so friendly and helpful! Very nice, clean facility, and reasonable prices. Even after moving out of the area, we still make the drive to South Bark to groom our dogs... And they love their blueberry facials 🤗

Great place with all the tools you need. Super helpful staff

Love this place. Everyone feels like a friend and nothing but good vibes!!

I love this place and my dog does too. The owners are super nice and the staff take such good care of my pup when I bring her in.

Great place. Great service and friendly and informative staff.

Ig: @gordonthebasset approves of this lovely spot in South Park, San Diego. Helpful staff, easy and functional process which makes washing even the fussiest of our furry friends a complete breeze! Its the best dog was in San Diego.

First time here and didnt realize it was self wash but the staff was helpful. I really enjoyed bathing my dog. He was very shaky at first, but it helped that i was the washer. Prices are fair, plus a free blueberry facial!

Wonderful place to wash your fur child. You get a helper that starts the process with a blueberry facial. They check back and assure you have assistance when needed. Save yourself the cleaning effort at home and come here. Jobs are always easier with the proper tools.

All I can say is WOW! We had the anesthesia-free teeth cleaning for our dogs here and the results are just incredible. Lisa did an amazing job and was patient with our dog who has anxiety with new people/ environments. I cannot be happier with the whole process. Dont forget to buy some cool treats for your pup in the shop!

The pup loves it like a spa day and I loved it because I didnt have a mess to clean up. All their products were clear so no harmful dyes or chemicals! The pups also get a blueberry facial thats made in house and makes the pup smell delicious! Definitely the best way to clean the pup, its like a spa for doggies with many different options , hair and skin types to choose from 😁

I brought my Shepherd mix Roux in for a full service bath with Jean (by special request because she does an amazing job!) We requested the de-shedding package with the de-shedding mud because she’s shedding like crazy! We picked her up and she looked and smelled great and has barely been shedding at all since! South Bark always does an amazing job and I will always suggest them for any of your pets needs!

Everyone is so nice here and always give my dog the best experience starting with the facial. My pup has many allergies, yet they have something for everypup! They allow bringing your own shampoo, and are simply so welcoming

Love this shop, my dogvo came out happy and sparkling clean!!

I use this place for the anesthesia free teeth cleaning that they host sometimes. I love the service and that they are willing to host this for cleanings. They are great when my dogs teeth are getting some build up but it’s not worth putting them under anesthesia yet. My dogs are hyper and one isn’t a huge fan of people who are not his mom and dad but they are able to work on both pups and get their teeth like new without too much stress. They are also very willing to let you know when they need a deeper cleaning. The shop is always super organized and has a great vibe to it. I love shopping there for my dogs while they are getting worked on. They have fun toys and treats my picky eaters love.

First time. Nice, friendly and reasonable!

A great place to give your pup a bath. They are really good with the dogs and super helpful! Always a positive experience for my dog and I.

Been coming here to take the dog a bath. The products that were used are awesome. Staff are always extremely friendly and knowledge of that products that were used for bathing and products that are for sale. Prices for baths depends on the bath itself but are really reasonable.

Great place to wash your own dog, they provide with a nice patio to brush before and blow dry after. They offer additional services like ear and teeth cleaning and prices are reasonable, they also offer a good selection in food, toys and accessories. They provide excellent service and if your pup needs nail trimming or filing they can make an appointment for the service available during the weekend. Will definitely visit again and will recommend to friends.

Love this place! Reasonable prices, friendly staff. My cookie loves it. 👍

Always happy to take our dog here for a thorough wash! I love their Blueberry Love package, it brightens her cream coat and she smells so good! The blueberry and clove perfume can last a couple weeks too, very good deal. With a complimentary facial too, you cant go wrong! We love South Bark😍

Staff and experience is always exceptional, professional, kind, and helpful. We love coming here, our dogs love coming here.

This was the most outstanding self wash I have ever experienced. They were helpful as can be, have way more supplies than anyone else out there and different packages to fit every dog. You get what you pay for! They gave my dog a facial and helped instructing me through each step and giving advice. Usually places just hand you the soap and want nothing more to do with you. After his bath they all happily complimented my dog and gave him encouragement after his water torture

Although I disagree on pricing (cost for 8lb dog same as 75lb). This is a great go to for all dog lovers. The menu boasts an array of do it yourself doggy services.The helpers are very loving to your pooch, offering blueberry non toxic vegan facials with all services and yummy treats. They calmed our Miso down with loving touch during the facial.After a day Miso is flea free, soft and smells great. The flea shampoo and conditioner definitely did the trick!

Super people here. Glad they are around. Very knowledgeable and friendly. They deliver during covid.

Shepsky’s bath was a complete success, extremely helpful and attentive with clients as well as your fur baby. I highly recommend bathing your canine friend, you will enjoy the ease and one on one time.

What a great place! We werent sure what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised to find it clean and well managed. The staff are very friendly and theres an outdoor area to hang out in until the bathtub is ready. The blueberry facial is great, I totally recommend it.

If youre one minute past 6:30pm, they wont let you use the wash station. I walked in at 6:31 and they told me I couldnt use the wash station because they had already started sanitizing the tubs. From what I saw, there were at least 4 tubs and one person had started cleaning one of the tubs. Unless he started cleaning way before 6:30pm, he wouldnt have gotten around to having cleaned all the tubs within one minute. I even asked if I could just do a quick rinse with water only and they refused. FYI, they close at 7pm.

Best dog wash ever..

Since the first time we went here, the staff remembers our dogs name. We can skip two months and when we come back they still remember. Okay so admit it you dont wash your dog at home, and if you do, hope its in your yard...because what a mess. Sure its a luxury to pay $25 to brush, wash, condition, flea treatment...but really that stinky dog needs pampering. They have the custom tubs with temperature controlled water. The staff will help you wash if youre alone or just need help. If you dont want to spend $25 on a package...ok just bring your own shampoo and the wash only cost is around $10. But really they clean up the hair, the water spayed all over, they way the towels...you really are both worth this cost. You can also buy good dog food here, including raw food. They have toys and special events. Two days a week they have a mobile nail clipper for $17 she can trim any squirrelly dog. They also have puppy classes! Support this family friendly place made of love. Youre worth it!

Mr Harold Maximus and Lucky Fluff say these are their favorite hipsters!Loving staff! Have the healthiest snacks n best music!

Love this place. Customer service is unparalleled and they really have a way with dogs and run a professional and efficient business.

Great service and it’s so cool how they have all types of shampoo/conditioning combos. My dog smelled like a cupcake after we left. Especially liked the hypoallergenic shampoo and the blueberry facial. Only reason for 4 stars is that it’s a bit pricey, for washing your own pet but I think it’s worth it once in a while!

LOVE this place! My dog is still on the fence about the whole bath time thing but she absolutely loves all the treats she gets to pick from after!

My new pup store. Great energy

Ive been here 3 times in the past week, and theyre awesome every time. Greet me as soon as I walk in, walk me through the bathing process and assist me if I need it, and answer all my questions (and trust me, I have a lot) without ever acting like Im a bother. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and honest! This has absolutely become a favorite place.

Great place to wash your dog! Also they have a dental team that comes every month from LA & they are super great. I get my dogs teeth cleaned (anesthesia free) here twice a year, highly recommend it!

Great experience!

My Australian Shepherd and I are obsessed with this place! The staff is super friendly and they are such great tub tenders!We love the Deshedding Package and I love the blueberry facials he gets! Overall great people,great place and great service!

Love it! A quick washed after the doggie park it always great for the dogs. And I like it caused is close to the doggie park. And they have different packages.

This place is awesome. Even my dog loves getting a bath here! This place makes me love giving my dog a bath. Its less of a chore now and more of a bonding time with my pooch.

Super friendly staff. Had a very easy first time here with my 8 month old lab and his craziness. I highly recommend this to people. Easy way to get a good deep clean!

Helpful staff, nice products. Only thing is that I expected the water and air to be a little bit warmer. Otherwise, great experience.

Great DIY dog wash! My dog that is stressed by everything was fine throughout the wash & dry. Recommend!

Great place!

Love them. Very nice and helpful. Will special order whatever brand you need if not in stock!

Better then cleaning out the bath tub after washing the dog!

Very friendly/helpful staff and owners, and awesome location. They have a wide variety of choices on their wash menu. You will definitely find what you are looking for. The height of the tubs is perfect. I brought my dogs a few times since it was close to home, but the price is just too much for me. I have two dogs, and at about $25-$35 per dog it is FAR too expensive, especially when I have dogs that love to run in the dirt, and play at dog beach, and MUST have a thorough wash every week and a half or so. My ONLY complaint is that they charged me $3 to use an outdoor dryer…? It seemed really odd. It seems that the drying process should be a part of the cost of the “wash”. And there was nothing special about the dryer, just air blowing out of a hose. LOL! We all know that we cannot get in and out of the dog wash without a treat, so add a couple bully sticks and my bank account is -$90… in summary, nothing negative to say about the facility, just OVER PRICED considering there are SO MANY local options now.

I have a husky dog I wanted to give him a bath and a very good grooming, i paid someone to clean my house to be hair-free after my dog came from his bath, i wanted my dog to be well brushed, but they did a very bad job my dog still had hair They told me 1 hour is not enough and They charge a lot for 1 hour👎

Been going here for years. We take our own dogs, and our rescue dogs. They have been kind enough to hold adoption events for us.....and donate to us-- as well as some of the rescues around town.LOVE South Bark peeps !!Thanks for everything you do!Lucky Pup Dog RescueSan Diego

Theyre awesome. Attentive and nice with the pets, and help you out with services like ear cleaning and facials. I think my dogs actually enjoyed their luxurious baths and theyre so silky and blueberry fresh.

Cute and convenient neighborhood store. I have never washed my dog here but we took puppy classes here and get her food here. The staff are super friendly!

Much loved neighborhood dog wash Various food and treats, toys availabel. Raw food options.Honest Kitchen💚😘💜 featured.Dog wash area easy to use, large dogs or tiny, lots of towells.The knowledgeable staff are always available if and when you need them. Spa like attending to needs. Large spacial outdoor, protected, drying area.Oh, the music is good too😘Never forget the music💃

Best place to take your dog for a bath. They are very helpful. My dog loves the facial.

Its a bunch of stoners, no customer service skills at all. They were complaining about how unhappy they were working there, completely unprofessional. The worst customer service experience ever.

Not the dog bark of old but still a great place to clean your dog. What a place where you have everything you need and then some to clean your dog and they clean up the mess you and your dog make. But best of all they have heavy duty dryers for those big dog with lots of hair. When Im drying my dog it looks like it had snowed in South Bark in the patio where you dry your dog. The hair my dog sends everywhere is all white, what a mess. You should try it if you havent. Great place to bond with your dog.

I am very surprised with the customer service I received, considering their reviews.I had scheduled a Teeth cleaning for my 2 dogs. However, I needed to be rescheduled due to my being out of town for family reasons. The first 2 times I rescheduled without any problems.However the third time, due to my still being out of town and problems coordinating for someone to take my dogs, I was treated with disrespect and met with polices they never disclosed to me. Apparently, I am being charged for the service without having the service performed due to a policy they have after the 2nd reschedule. This was the first time I was told about this policy and stated as such especially after all my other calls, and was followed with repeated accusations that I was aware. This was simply the first time I ever was told anything otherwise I would have cancelled flatly due to my situation. Probably the worst part, other than the LAUGHTER by the staff member on the phone with me was the fact that that individual was Chris who is a manager. I am truly appalled with the disrespect and will not bring my business here. I hope this doesnt happen to anybody else, especially considering the number of military families in the San Diego area.

Home of the blueberry facial. This is the best dog wash Ive ever been to by far. They cultivate a sense of community that you seldom see. They are a real gem and treasure to the neighborhood.

Ahhhmazing 😍❤️ THIS IS THE BEST PLACE FOR DOGGIES AND PEOPLE RHAT LOVE THEM!

What an amazing local biz. The blueberry made my dog smell great for a week. Thanks. We will be back.

$55 for a dog wash deposit required appointments a week out

I love this place the staff is all super friendly all of their products are super quality... the rewards program is pretty nice too.

If I could get our dog to take a bath, Id take her here. Since I cant, I just end up using South Bark as the closest pet store available. I guess I wasnt too impressed with their selection or prices. The staff was super helpful, but I was hoping there would be more selection.

The best !! The staff the wash,The healthy treats my #1 pet store for my service dog!!Love the outdoor blow driers!We go at least once or twice a month.

South Bark is a wonderful neighborhood small business that is big on community. They have so many events for pet lovers and a warm, friendly staff.

Service is always good here, the tubs are clean, and they have a nice selection of shampoos, conditioners, treats and toys. Grape street dog park down the street is a must before your bath.

Great dog wash. Plenty of options. Great employees. High power dryers are good too.

Great place to wash your dog. She came out smelling like blueberry. We will visit again.

Pretty pricey but friendly staff

I been there when I was younger and I loved it it was handy and I love it but I don’t have a picture but I still rate this a 4

Took my two dogs to get baths and treats this last Saturday. Extremely friendly staff, very helpful, and now my girls smell like blueberries! Definitely worth trying.

Very convenient, staff is helpful and friendly but they also give you your own space and there not pushy to upsell.

Everyone that works there is so friendly and helpful. Love the blueberry facial, my dog always smells so nice after a bath there.

My dog loves getting baths here. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

Friendly staff and great products. Reasonable pricing on a do-it-yourself wash structure.

Looks to be a cool, friendly and very social establishment. I came in for a certain product, and looked around.

Loved the scarfs with the baths my labs got

Good place to Wash you dog ,has very friendly attends

Cool place, friendly and very helpful. Went out of their way to make us and our dog comfortable.

Great place to wash your dog. The staff is very helpful

Great place. awesome staff and powerful equipment too. 👍👍

Great people and a fun place to wash your dog. They also have a good selection of food, toys, and treats.

I love this place. The staff is really helpful, and they carry a variety of raw food and natural treats. 5-stars!!
