Dirty Dawgs

A great place to bring your stinky pup in! Rebecca uses great products that small wonderful and do the trick. Dog washing is a much more pleasurable experience here!

Tried this place for the first time and I loved it! $ 15 for a do-​it-​yourself bath is a little steep, but the the experience made it all worth it. The place is extremely cute, and the owner was very nice. I usually flood my bathroom whenever Coco gets a bath, and now I’ll definitely be frequenting this place instead! Love supporting a great local business.

Walking into Dirty Dawgs is a pleasure. It feels like a dog spa — clean, friendly, colorful, relaxing. Rebecca is delightful and attentive. We have used other dog washes, but this will be our go-​to from now on. We give it two thumbs up.

After a bad experience at another grooming place in Tucson, I decided I was not up for leaving my dogs in the care of an unknown groomer (I don’t live in Tucson, we just visit often). Luckily I found Dirty Dawgs on Unilocal,and took the plunge to groom the Great Pyrenees all by myself. Dirty Dawgz shop was clean and pleasant. The owner herself, showed me the ropes and helped me load my reluctant hound into the shower stall. I will say, that it would be helpful if there was a stall at ground level. All the ones in this store are elevated and that did nothing to calm my big boy’s nerves, but with help, I got him loaded up and then I got him clean. Really, getting him in the shower was the only difficult part. Everything else was convenient and easy. The soap was great, smelled nice, and was gentle on his sensitive skin. There was a selection of soaps that came in the standard package and some add ons like conditioner if you choose to get them. After I finished the washing part, the owner showed me how to use the blow dryer which worked quickly, despite not being heated air (I appreciated that again because of my dog’s sensitive skin). When we were finished we paid the very reasonable price and were on our way. Highly recommended shop!

This is the first and only time in my life I have gone to self-​serving dog wash and I kinda wonder why it took me so long to use this amazing service! The place was super clean, bright and friendly. The owner (I assume) was very helpful and walked me through the process. She came to checkup on us and chat briefly between helping other clients and cleaning. On a side note a repeat customer came in with a selective/​reactive dog and it wasn’t wearing a muzzle or treated any differently. She was aware to make sure all dogs gave it room, which was refreshing. I will definitely be returning in the future!

Rebecca was amazing. Informative and helpful. She walked us through everything that we needed to do and she made us feel comfortable with the equipment… She was very loving towards our dog Eko and she even offered multiple treats. The location is perfect. Great equipment and very clean, she had a good selection of shampoos and conditioners, she also was very accommodating for us and our pup. I recommend this place!

This is an amazing self dog wash location! Super friendly and helpful owner who obviously loves dogs. She helped us to make Baja’s bath the best experience! He smells amazing after the peppermint oil coat protection shampoo and looks so handsome after the blow dryer and brush! We will def be coming back!

I have been taking my black lab to Dirty Dawgs for the past year or so. I usually bathe her in the backyard, but it’s simply too cold to do that in the late Fall/​Winter months. The spa is very clean, pretty, welcoming, and functional.
The owner is always incredibly friendly and helpful, and it is clear that she understands and loves dogs very much. The bathing areas are ample in space and very easy to use. I love that they carry natural dog wash products, and you can choose between peppermint, tea tree oil, and eucalyptus shampoos and conditioners. There are always clean towels and ear wipes available near the bathing stations.
Because I have a black lab with a very thick coat, I really value the large blow dryers that are available at Dirty Dawgs. The blow dryer is the difference between Cola smelling like a wet dog for an hour rather than half of the day. Although $ 15 might seem like a lot to pay to wash your own dog, the facilities, products, and friendly service are well worth the cost.

I’ve been taking my buddy, Bosco, to Dirty Dawgs now for years. The tubs are large, clean and always ready. Rebecca, the owner, takes pride in her establishment and you can tell as soon as you walk in. The atmosphere is pleasant and Bosco loves it! There are numerous shampoos and conditioners (all natural) to choose from as well as clippers, scissors and tables with blow dryers. There are also lots of pet supplies and treats to give your little buddy after its all over. Bosco loves the Yak cheese and he highly recommends them. In fact, if I don’t get Bosco a yak cheese when we leave, he won’t talk to me me for the rest of the day. If you have a dirty dog, Dirty Dawgs is the place to go…

I really liked this place… Until the owner tipped herself without my knowledge. For an establishment where I am washing, brushing, and drying my dog all myself I think it’s a little absurd that the owner gives herself a tip. When checking out, I handed her my credit card and confirmed the price only to open my emailed receipt later to find she added a nice chunk of change for a tip for herself. Definitely not pleased with that and won’t be returning.

I love it! Ernie peezie. Great soaps conditioners and the set up makes it a fast and easy way to have clean fresh pups! This will be a go 2

Why have I lived in Tucson for years and only now discovered what a joy it is to take my pooch into Dirty Dawgs for a bath? Rebecca was so friendly and gracious — our dog Bucky immediately liked her, so I knew I would, too!
The facility is clean, organized, and the explanations of how it works couldn’t be better. Rebecca helped show me exactly what to do and how to do it, our 70# pound pooch seemed to actually enjoy luxuriating in his very own spa shower/​tub. Plenty of towels, a waterproof apron for me and my spouse, and treats for Bucky! Even the blow dryer (optional to use, but no extra charge) didn’t freak him out.
Bucky was very comfortable letting Rebecca clip his nails, which is nothing short of amazing.
Can’t say enough good about this place!

There is nothing I dislike more than a person who likes to act like they know what is best for you… and your dog. And unfortunately, the owner of this business is this type of person.
I’ll get it out of the way now– I shave my dog. This was the first year I decided to do it, and made the decision based on the fact that he is inside all day during the summer/​anytime it is super hot, and he really had a hard time in past years. He loved it, was super happy, we made sure he didn’t stay in the sun and get burned, walked him early morning, took him out at night the whole thing. Oddly enough, because I had never met this woman or patronized her business before, she knew none of this. I even brought him in first thing in the morning so we could be alone and not disturb other customers since I didn’t know how he would react. But she of course had to let me know that I should probably never shave my dog again because it is so bad for them.
Okay– fine, I get it. I’m not a perfect dog owner. I suck at raising my dog or something, whatever it is that you think I am trying to do to him. But I still paid over $ 20 for a toothbrush and a dog wash.
It’s a wonderful place, great products and my dog really liked it. I just don’t want a lecture with my bath. And I especially don’t want to pay $ 20+ for one either.

I just tried out a different dog wash and regretted it. This boutique style dog wash is not only an excellent value for the price but also, much higher quality, from the natural shampoos to the tubs that are so much easier to use for both myself and my dog. Great value and best service in town!

While walking in the Rillito, my dog thought it would be fun to roll around in something as nasty as death. No way I am taking him home like that, so I checked Unilocal.
Dirty Dawgs perfect reviews are accurate. It is a great, great self service place to clean your pooch. A comfortable set up with a tub, hose, shampoo, apron, towels, a brush, and ear wipes made his bath very easy. Soon the dog was clean and the stink was gone.
There are other niceties as well all in a very inviting setting. The owner/​manager was super helpful, which was much appreciated.
My dog loved the treats (obviously).

I brought my Siberian Husky here today for his first dog wash! The place is very clean, organized, and had plenty of room. I do recommend this place and I will be coming back again for his next wash! The worker who helped us today was extremely nice! You can tell she is an expert with dogs. She knew my dog’s breed very well so my dog’s behavior didn’t surprise her. He had lots of energy and was very vocal throughout the wash and grooming. The worker frequently came back to check on us and made sure we weren’t having any troubles. She helped us unclogged our bath, made sure we had plenty of towels, and that we had all of the supplies to dry and groom our dog. She gave us the best customer service!
The only bad thing was a couple of customers who we encountered. This had nothing to do with the service I got from Dirty Dawgs. We had a couple of elderly customers that wouldn’t stop being judgemental. Our dog is a Siberian Husky… Huskies talk a lot. It is a characteristic of their breed. And these elderly couple wouldn’t stop making rude comments towards us and our dog. They made us feel so uncomfortable and angry that we quickly groomed our dog and left. All I want to say is that when you come here, you are here to wash and groom your dog, so don’t judge others and their dog’s behavior. Worry about yourself. Leave your rude, ignorant comments and insulting facial expressions at home.

We brought our pit bull here the other day for a (VERY) much-​needed bath. We have been meaning to bring her in here for quite awhile and finally got around to it. This place is WONDERFUL. It is super clean inside, smells more like fresh herbs and soap than wet dog. The lady working was so sweet, loved our pup and treated her with so much kindness, and she was very helpful to us by showing us where everything was, giving us tips, and helping to trim an awkward broken nail we had a hard time getting to. She brought us as many clean towels as we needed, and didn’t hover. It was $ 15 for the bath and use of soaps/​facilities, and for the cost of a few bribe treats. :)
We will definitely be making this a regular place for two of our dogs as we don’t have a bath tub at home. (The third little guy gets bathed in our kitchen sink.)
I highly recommend this place, even if your dog is shy or doesn’t like baths. Our pit hates water and she did so well.

Our dogs love going to dirty dawgs! I wouldn’t wash them anywhere else. They have giant bathtubs and blow dryers that make washing your dog super easy. Hair brushes, ear wipes, and clippers are available to meet all of your grooming needs. The owner even makes sure both of my dogs get a treat at the end of each bath.

We have a big guy that HATES getting washed. Rebecca was very accommodating with suggestions and even took the time to keep my 4 year old son occupied while I washed Dave.
A nice little spot and ample parking. Good music, clean, friendly and we will back!

Love this place. My corgi Daisy gets stressed out when taking a bath, especially if a stranger does it. Because I want to wash her myself, but don’t want to make a mess out of my bathroom, I decided to try Dirty Dawgs and I loved it! Everything one could possibly need is provided including Zoom grooms, shampoo and conditioner, nail clippers, face and ear wipes, and even an apron to keep you dry! There are two different types of dryers to dry your puppy. The owner is great and hands you everything as you need it, before you even have to ask for it! It makes me feel like I’m being spoiled :)
My favorite part of the Dirty Dawgs experience is the elevated tub. It is soooo nice to not have to kneel by my tub while giving my dog a bath. My knees definitely appreciate it.
The shop also has really good products, like toothpaste/​toothbrushes, food, and treats. I’m a big fan of their three headed toothbrushes and natural toothpaste.
Bonus: This is the cheapest grooming experience I have encountered in Tucson. I save some money and I spare my dog the stress of being handled by a stranger. Too much win.
