About WAGS

WAGS started in 2002 and has been proudly serving San Francisco on Polk Street for the past 20+ years! We are San Francisco's premier dog bathing and grooming destination, and we do it all out in the open. You'll often find a crowd at our window watching the action, because when our canine clients are having fun, so are we.

We have a very experienced, friendly grooming and bathing team who carefully manage every step of your furry friend's spa day. It shows in every happy face that walks out the door.

Before, during, and after their appointments, our canine clients are free to socialize and play in the grooming area. That said, we know that one size does not fit all: Quieter dogs have their own calm space, smaller pups can play in a separate area, and nervous dogs can unwind at our slow-dry stations with gentle warm air. It's truly a unique experience you won't find anywhere else.

Give us a call or stop by. We are grateful for our loyal clients and our tremendous San Francisco community!
