Clean Coat
Premium shampoo and conditioner help wash away the ordinary mess of a well-lived dog life, from park dust to everyday loose hair.
North Park, San Diego
A professional clean-up for dogs who need a fresh coat and routine care, without booking a haircut they do not need.

A Fresh Start
Some dogs need more than a quick rinse at home, but not every dog needs a haircut. A Pet Palace wash package is a practical middle ground: a professional bath and the routine maintenance that helps a dog feel clean and comfortable, without paying for coat shaping they do not need.
Our North Park shop has cared for San Diego pet families since 1998. Every wash package includes premium shampoo, conditioner, nail care, ear cleaning, and external anal gland expression. That gives short-coated dogs, active dogs, and dogs between full grooming appointments a complete refresh handled by a local team.
Book a Dog BathEvery Wash Package
Premium shampoo and conditioner help wash away the ordinary mess of a well-lived dog life, from park dust to everyday loose hair.
Nail care and ear cleaning are part of the package, so a bath visit can also take care of small maintenance jobs that are easy to postpone at home.
The team considers size, breed, coat condition, grooming rhythm, and the work needed, then helps you choose a visit that makes practical sense.
Not Every Dog Needs a Haircut
A wash package is especially useful when your dog does not need trimming but still benefits from professional bathing and regular upkeep. It is a straightforward option for short coats, dogs between haircut appointments, and households that want the important basics handled in one visit.
Before You Book
Professional wash packages start at $55 for extra-small dogs, $65 for small dogs, $75 for medium dogs, $80 for large dogs, and $85 for extra-large dogs. Those starting points make it easier to plan before booking, while leaving room for the real factors that affect the visit: breed, coat condition, grooming frequency, and the work your dog needs that day.
For a large short-haired dog, a bath, nails, and ears without trimming may be $60 to $70. If your dog has a long or especially dense coat, needs extra brushing, or is due for a haircut, the team can guide you toward the service that gives them enough time rather than trying to squeeze more work into a bath visit.
A wash package is for the dog who needs to get clean, have the basics maintained, and leave feeling fresher, without a haircut. It can be a sensible regular routine for short-coated dogs, a reset after a muddy season, or a way to keep a dog comfortable between fuller grooming visits. Premium shampoo, conditioner, nail care, ear cleaning, and external anal gland expression are included so the appointment covers more than what a home bath usually manages.
If hair is growing into your dog's eyes or paws, you are keeping a particular style, or the coat needs more than light brushing, look at full-service dog grooming in San Diego instead. Pet Palace does light brushing rather than de-tangling, and heavy matting may require a shave-down. Being candid about the coat before booking helps the team set up the kindest and most useful visit.
Professional grooming services are usually scheduled in advance, especially on weekends. Booking gives Pet Palace a chance to learn your dog's size, coat, and needs before arrival. New customers should expect a $25 deposit as part of the booking process. If you are weighing a wash package against a full groom, a quick call can make that decision far simpler before you set aside time for the visit.
Teeth brushing is available as a $7 add-on. Individual services such as nail trimming, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and anal glands can be walk-in services when available. If nails are the only job on your list, see the details for walk-in dog nail trimming before you come by.
Some owners enjoy washing their own dog when the right setup is ready. Pet Palace offers a separate self-service dog wash in San Diego with walk-in tubs, towels, shampoo, dryers, and the cleanup handled for you. That option is first come, first served and is different from a staff-provided wash package.
A self-wash is a good fit when you want to do the bathing yourself. A wash package is the better fit when you want the Pet Palace team to handle the bath and routine care. Both options are at 3827 Ray Street in North Park, alongside full grooming and everyday pet supplies, so you can choose the level of help that makes bath day easier for your household.
