Very Important Pet (VIP) Grooming Salon & Boutique in Santee occupies Suite 109 on Woodside Avenue, offering breed-specific coat styling, cat grooming, and a self-service dog wash station. Pre-boarding groom packages pair full-body clips with de-shedding treatments that remove loose undercoat before animals check into nearby Furry Friends Resort on Cuyamaca Street. Walk-in nail trims, ear cleaning, and anal gland expression are available without an appointment during morning hours. The front-of-house boutique stocks CBD supplements, gourmet treat bars, and seasonal pet fashion alongside take-home conditioners and slicker brushes, adding a retail layer to the Woodside Avenue pet corridor that includes Hawthorne Country Store Santee's feed-and-supply operation. Non-anesthetic dental scaling sessions use ultrasonic instruments to remove tartar buildup above and below the gumline on dogs and cats weighing up to 80 pounds.
