A clean dog post-beach? $15. The reaction I get when I tell someone I bathed my dog at a car wash? Priceless. I don't fully understand the negative comments about Sandy Paws Dog Wash. I mean, yeah, it's not an extravagant groomer with all the bells and whistles, but I don't think that's it's purpose. This self dog washing station is attached to Russell Fischer Car Wash in Huntington Beach. It's open 24/7 and often empty since it's somewhat of a local secret. It cost $15 for 15 minutes of dog washing. The tub is relatively deep and in a fenced in area, so it feels extra safe for your pup. The machine has options for shampoo, conditioner, flea shampoo, water for rinsing, and even a blow dryer attached. I noticed that 15 minutes was just the right amount of time to wash my sandy 50lbs pup. A few small negatives: There is only one bath available. Normally this is fine, but if you come on a Sunday after the dog beach rush, there may be a wait. Cleaning is largely up to the pet owners. Everyone is expected to sanitize the station post-wash, which might be giving people too much credit. Overall, it's the cheapest bath my dog has ever received. She's received non-stop compliments since the wash, so I'm pretty impressed by their shampoo/conditioner. read more

I had no experience as they only took coins. The dollar bill insert machine didn't work as as well the wireless/card read let was not functioning. It was very disappointing. read more

I enjoy the self service dog washes but they aren't easy to find. I found Sandy Paws looking through Yelp. The shampoo, conditioner is all available but I brought my own because my pup has a sensitive skin issue. It is convenient to have a way to dry my pups better than using a towel. read more

I've been coming here for a year, first they raised their prices 50%, then they just stopped keeping it clean altogether. The first time it happened I was surprised and thought it was just a fluke, a mistake or emergency, however the last 2 times I went it was disgusting. I paid $15. To have my dog standing in dirty water half way through, I was unable to dry her off because of the stagnant water. Pictures have been included. Then I went a 3rd time (picture included) and it was all together disgusting, I left and will never go back. Warning to those with pets, the dog wash could be danger to your pets health.

Came here the other night, luckily made it right before it closed...well technically you need to buy a token ($15 and yes it's a literal token) and the store closes at 5:30ish. The dog wash part is open 24hrs i think though. There is a time limit of 15 mins and it is a hose with a nob to turn the mode as well as a air blow dryer hose. It was clean for the most part, but the shampoo/flea shampoo were both out so I wasted my time rising my dog for no reason. Luckily I brought my own shampoo for him. It's a gated area so the dog shouldn't get out if for some reason your dog were to jump out but it's kinda like a professional tub too. Even tho I can last minute, the employees were very nice!!! read more

Been here twice in the last 6 months around 9pm and the card reader is still down. Why advertise as 24hrs if it's only open from 8am-6pm

So good for a quick 10 minute pup wash when all the other places are closed. This one is open 24/7 in a safe part of town with ample light just in case you wash at night like I did! Gated so you dog is secure and some seating available in case you have to wait. They have a shampoo wash (gets nice and soapy), flea bath, conditioner, and a blow dryer available at the turn of a knob. At the end you have some time to sanitize the station as well. So clean and a good area! Everything worked properly and I was so happy it was available! read more

The card reader kept asking me to make a selection to proceed but turning the dial did nothing, very confusing. So then I go to use cash to see if that helps it get started but it just ate my $10. I went to the website since that's the only contact info on the machine, nothing about customer service or how to trouble shoot. Then I just get forms about how to become an owner of a machine. Wish someone would tell me how to get that $10 back. And maybe put an out of order sign up? The machine kept updating and restarting. read more

Really like that this is located outside of the car wash so it's essentially a 24 hr dog wash. Would be convenient in an urgent situation. The shampoo/soap is terrible quality that comes out. And I hate having a time limit that makes me feel so rushed. Never get a great wash here. read more

Love this place... for dogs who are big it works great love the private area. This is KoKo new dog wash spot. read more

I was surprised how much I like this. I got my car washed, and did the dog wash at the same time. 10 minutes is enough for a quick bath, and the bathing machine gives you shampoo, rinse, conditioner, and a fur dryer. It was easy, convenient and I will do it again. read more

Tricky to find it's at the car wash, outside. If u wannu just rinse off your dog come here. Bring cash to buy a token. Bring soap & towels.

Was great to use right after walking around the dog beach!!! 10 dollars for 10 mins was enough time for my lil one but may need more time for larger dogs. The was area also has a fence around it so it's safe to let them out the tub to shake off. If you can,bring a towel because even though the air is strong my dog has a thick coat so I usually need a towel to dry his damp fur. They also sell small hand towels for 2 dollars and that got the job done. read more

Wash box is located in a car detail business.,we took our cold sandy dog here after being at the Huntington Beach doggie beach. So nice to drive home with a clean pup. read more

This place is a life saver for your back! I typically give my dog a bath every month or so but when I'm doing it at home I have to hunch over to bath him. This place just makes it so easy! Here are a few tips: -The dog wash is right along side of the car wash, parking is kind of weird so just park across the street and use the cross walk to walk over -Bring your own towel since the air dryer doesn't really dry your pup that well -The shampoo and conditioner comes from the water spout, this was weird for me since I didn't know where it was going to come from. Just turn the dial and keep spraying and it will come out! read more

I have brought my dog here twice after a day at the beach. It was tricky to locate as it's hidden within a very busy car wash. There is one designated parking spot. There's one washing station that costs $10 for ten minutes. Once your card or money is accepted the clock counts down. Your ten minutes includes shampoo, rinse, blow dry and time to sanitize (rinse) the washing station. Everything shuts off after that 10 minutes so use your time wisely. There's nothing fancy about this place and there's never been anyone tending to the area. But this little operation works, it's cheap and I don't have a sandy, wet dog in my car and house. read more

Took my dogs to the dog beach and of course they got dirty while having fun. This place was close by, a couple miles away. It is CONVENIENT! Open 24/7. They take card or cash. But be aware, it's $10 for 10 min, so you have to be FAST! My dogs have long hairs and I was hurriedly trying to wash them thoroughly. From wash to drying to disinfecting the tub- you had to get it done in 10 min or you have to keep paying. There's a timer in the tub to help you manage your time. I ended up washing each dog for 10 min each costing me $20 and they weren't fully dry yet. But the way the business is set up, it's for that fast dog wash, quick rinse kinda of thing. Not for deep cleaning...so I ain't mad! Haha. It's at a gas station/ car wash lot and there's only one area designated for the dog wash. I thought there would be multiple areas for dog washes but only saw one. In the end my dogs were clean, the job was down, and I was happy. Love this business idea and the convenience of it. read more

I used this dog wash more than a year ago but I forgot to write a review. I'd recommend avoiding this place unless you want to waste your time. There's only one station and with 2 people ahead of me I waited over 45min. Then when I finally got to use it, the machine wouldn't read my card. Was about to give up and was annoyed but someone had left a dog wash token behind and it was enough for the 10min wash. I guess that's the only reliable way to use it? Also it's super confusing how to use it and at first it didn't dispense any shampoo, just water (which comes out of a nozzle). There is no one there to assist you if there is a problem. It was overall a stressful experience and not at all easy to use. Never again. read more

Awesome place! Super easy and convenient with friendly and helpful service. Will be a returning customer for sure!

So not 24 hours how are you supposed to do 24 hours when the machine does not take cash or credit cards only tokens and you can only buy tokens during business hours until 6 PM shaking my head‍ read more

An awesome place to get a quick self wash for your dog. It's literally like a self car wash for your dog....at at a car wash! I originally thought this business didn't exist as it was so hard to find at first, but make sure you arrive at the Huntington Beach Car Wash next to the Toyota dealership! This self wash for your dog is literally on the car wash facility and runs 24/7! There is a gated area for multiple dogs to roam around and an easy latch gate to allow your dog into the bath. The spray nozzle is your typical garden hose nozzle that can be adjusted and warm/med heat water comes out with the soap solution immediately! Costs $10 bucks for 10 minutes which is plenty of time (I skipped the flea soap as we use Frontline for our dogs). The drier is just a vacuum hose that blows lukewarm air, so make sure you bring a towel for each of your dogs to help the drying process speed up! Highly recommended! Super fast (faster than other self wash places) and way cheaper ($10 per dog)! Will be coming back here again in the future. read more

Use this place as a last resort if no other self pet washes are open. The two stars is for the 24/7 hour time and the fact that it's somewhat convenient to Huntington Dog Beach. There's only one tub, so you might end up having to wait if someone else is washing their dog. The price is insane, $10 for 10 minutes and $1 for each additional minute. There's no way you can shampoo, condition, rinse, and blow dry your dog in that little time. I guess the upside to this is that it cuts down on the wait time if someone else is there because you'd have to be insane to spend enough money to fully dry your dog here. Other places charge $15-$20 for their pet wash, but at least they don't have any time restrictions and they provide you with an apron and towels. The water was also extremely warm and there is no way to adjust the temperature. read more

I dont really know this company but. Was walking my dog down Saybrook St. next to Harbour View Elementry and one of the Company cars was parked on the side of the street with two dogs locked in the car just jumping around and going all crazy and it's really hot out right now and they are just locked in there with the windows rolled up. I tried calling the phone number on the side of the car but nobody answered doesn't seem like a very reliable service to me. read more

Love the convenience of being able to wash my dog and have all of the option with it. Condition, Flea Cleaning and the water comes out really warm. It's much do with the family. read more

ADORABLE, convenient, and affordable. Can't really ask for more from a self-service dog wash. Whoever came up with this did a great job lol it's located inside a car wash so you pretty much use the same tools as they'd use to wash your car. Super easy to use and I washed both my dogs within the 10minutes they gave us and had time to sanitize the bath at the end. $10 for 10min plus extra $1-$2 if you need more time. Will definitely come back after another beach trip. read more

Do it yourself dog wash. Automat. Great to get your dog clean after a day at the beach. Bring your own towels.

This was cool! I washed my 70lb. lab easily. No fuss...hooked her up and lathered her in soap and rinsed. She was still wet after but has a ton of fur so I get it...she is still wet now actually (2 hours later) but would definitely be back. The soap could have a slightly better scent. read more

Birthday boy Tank loved his bath time at Sandys first time wont be our last.It was so convenient we will be prepared next visit with brush and towel.(1 towel,no brush) provided read more

Nice and easy kiosk-type facility attached to a car wash. Has everything you need, except clean towels. Perfect for post-beach play

Jonathan was very professional, helpful and informative !!!!!! I purchased a monthly unlimited package to wash my big furry girl which totally helps out with my tougher times I have no where to wash my dog ! Happy customer read more

So easy to use and it provides a lot more soap than I thought! I will definitely be back. Clean fur baby in 10 min!

Perfect for cleaning up your doggie after a hard day at the dog beach. Our Scottie/Wheaton mix HATES a bath (but loves the ocean??) and this set-up made it easy to control him and get him washed. We'll use it again for sure. read more

$10 for 10 min. It's located right next to the car wash. Literally only one tub. It's like a car wash vending style. I like it and it's convenient but $10? It should be less than that. Overall it's something I would use as a last resort. read more

Absolutely loved it. So convenient and easy to use and you get to bond with you fur babies. They have everything you need shampoo, conditioner and a blow dryer. Well, definitely be back. read more

Is this place still open?? When I call the phone number (twice) I got a message saying its a car dealership.

These guys are really good. My dog is a bit jumpy and can sometimes be a little too energetic but these guyse were very patient and I really appriciated that. Thanks. read more

Coin op dog wash next to a car wash, open 24/7 for only $10. Great concept. Super easy to use. The water was warm and the wash tub was clean. I needed to find a place that was open after normal business hours. This was the place! The only down fall, is you need to bring your own towel but other than that I would definitely recommend this place. read more
