About

Suds N Pups Dog Grooming and Wash in San Diego's San Carlos neighborhood occupies 7295 Navajo Road, serving the residential corridor between Lake Murray and Cowles Mountain in the 92119 ZIP. The salon runs both full-service grooming and self-wash stations, giving dog owners a choice between a groomer-handled appointment and a hands-on DIY bath with supplied shampoo, towels, blow dryer, and cleanup. Full-service grooming covers breed-specific haircuts, nail trimming, ear cleaning, de-shedding blowouts, sanitary trims, and a bandana finish, and the self-wash bay charges a flat rate regardless of dog size. Navajo Road through San Carlos runs northeast toward the Cowles Mountain trailhead at Barker Way, and the same retail corridor houses personal-care providers serving the San Carlos residential base, including Navajo Spa further up the road. The post-hike self-wash is a recurring booking pattern — trail-dirty dogs get a same-day rinse without the scheduling lead time of a full grooming appointment. The grooming team handles all breed sizes from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, and double-coated breeds receive a forced-air undercoat blowout that strips loose fur without cutting. Lake Murray sits a short drive south, and the Cowles Mountain trail entrance less than two miles northeast generates a steady flow of active dog owners through the Navajo Road commercial strip. The operation shares ownership with the Allied Gardens location on Waring Road, and the same service protocols and grooming standards apply across both shops. Breed-specific scissor work follows client specifications for face shape, body length, and leg feathering — the same cut-and-style precision practiced at Shear Brilliance Salon in San Carlos. The self-wash stations include elevated tubs with adjustable restraint loops, making the bath process manageable for single-owner handling of large or energetic dogs.
