Great place if you want to wash your dogs and not mess up your house or have to bend over a bathtub to scrub your furry kids. What an amazing service! They supply an area to wash your baby, supply the shampoo, conditioners, stuff for their ears and lots of different spa treatments you can treat them to also. But the best is no leaning over, a great area, towels and it is all left behind take your freshly washed dog home and everyone is happy. They also have a great selection of dog food, treats and accessories. Not to mention the owners are truly the nicest people I've ever met and this is really a great place to take your dog to wash them yourself and it's very reasonable and you know they are not locked up in a cage all day!! If you haven't tried this place DO!!! All sizes big and small..... read more

They are always polite and helpful when we have taken our Golden Retriever to have her bath. No bad reviews only a good one read more

Came here at 6:30pm to wash my dog quick and was sent away by two employees, because they are closing at 7pm and they don't have time for me. I desperately needed to wash him now. I think I could done it in 15-20 mins. Very disappointed. They don't care about customers. I wont be considering this place for my dog's needs anymore and won't recommend anyone. read more

We LOVE you! Best place to care for your fur babies! Ella agrees, even though she is saying... "MANI-PEDIS ARE SO TRAUMATIC! read more

Self Serve Pet Spa - Pet Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

A clean dog is a happy dog... Yeah right. Let's be honest, very few dogs actually enjoy getting a bath so it's always a nuisance to have to wrangle them into the tub and endure the countless shakes that result in dog hair and water all over the bathroom. Luckily, we have Self Serve Pet Spa in town! We decided to make a detour to SSPS after the pups were staying at Fur and Feathers. For some odd reason, they stunk really bad and were just not looking the cleanest. We walked in on a Sunday and there were only one other couple and their dog finishing up. We opted for the de-shedding service for both our beagles. We were given a basket of goodies including shampoo, condition, eye drop cleaner, rags, de-shedder brushes and other items. The tubs are large metal tubs, with plenty of room. There's even a ramp so your dogs can walk up to the tub. There are places to leash your dog so they don't panic and escape. Just make sure they don't accidentally tighten the lead too much. The water pressure is the best part. It's strong enough to really get deep down into their coat and remove all that loose fur. Just be cognizant around their sensitive parts like ears and eyes. I never felt rushed during my experience and for the most part, my older beagle really loved it. On the other hand, my neurotic lab rescue beagle had a panic attack when the blow dryer came on. After that, it was game over. I suppose the moral of that story is to make sure your dogs are okay with baths and loud noises, otherwise, the experience might be too traumatic. But for my other pup, I'll definitely be returning. There are even discounts for frequent clients! read more

I really like washing my pup here. The raised wash stations save me from a hurt back. The employees are so helpful and kind. The shampoo and conditioner make my dog super soft. And its nice to be in air conditioning when it's hot outside. I've never had to wait for a station but I do show up right when they open. I highly recommend this business. read more

I love this place it's like a bonding place for you and your doggy, very friendly and so clean no appointment needed just coming inn read more

Self Serve Pet Spa - Pet Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

See all

We absolutely love this place for bathing our Sainted Bernard Ellie!!! No more bending over, breaking our backs, sweating over a kiddie pool, while completely getting our own bath!!!! Just trying to get the all the soap out her fur before was painstaking hilarious torture while trying to wrangle all 120 lbs of soaking wet slippery gymnastically inclined beast (roll the Disney cameras!!!) Seriously, the first time we came here we we're finished in about 30 minutes, and Ellie really didn't hate it...and Mike and I could both walk upright (of course NOT Ellie) and we have never looked back...no mess to clean up and gallons of water wasted at home....This place ROCKS!!! read more

We adore Self Serve Pet Spa! For those new to this set-up, Self Serve is just that: self serve! Bring your dog on a leash and they'll provide the rest! Best part: you take home a clean dog and they clean the tub! Depending on your wash package, you are provided a basket of items to get Fido fluffy and clean. The standard "Buster" wash ($14) includes shampoo, eye drops to protect your dog's eyes, cotton balls with ear cleaning solution on them, a washcloth, and brush to scrub. Aprons and towels are provided as well, and dryers are hooked up at each station. Dogs are separated with high walls to prevent any interaction between dogs during washes. NO lifting is required - a ramp is given to get the dogs safely in and out of tubs, and restraints are in all tubs to prevent escapees or injuries. (Your dog prefer to keep to him or herself? No problem - they offer special hours for dogs that don't always mind their manners around other dogs.) They do offer a rewards program for frequent customers. Grooming tables are also available, and clippers can be rented at a reasonable rate. We also bring in our dog for nail trims, offered on the third weekend of the month. The woman who clips the dog's nails is gentle and has never hit a quick on our dog. Once we used her for nail trims, we decided to never again visit anywhere else. She is the only person who can clip our dog's nails without our dog becoming agitated or nervous. Self Serve also has a great selection of high quality pet foods and treats, as well as fun toys, grooming accessories, and other pet gear. Our dog's favorites are the little biscuits served in the case at the front counter and the duck feet! We have found both locations to be kept clean, organized, and run by friendly and helpful staff that loves our pets just as much as we do. read more

I love, love, love this place! The dog washing stations is as good as it gets! My pooch is not a fan of baths, so I have brought her here many times for a much needed washing. The tubs are waist height so you don't have to bend over and all the products you need are supplied quickly in a convenient basket. They provide everything you need to get your animal clean and at an affordable price. They also have a ton of pet supplies and organic/natural food choices for your pets. If you have a pet, you need to go check them out. read more

Definitely had a great time with my pup here! The staff is very sweet and helpful whenever I asked all of my questions. The staff will set you up in the bath and will go over all the shampoo packages you'll be able to choose from. They check in on you and make sure you are okay!! I love this environment read more

This place is great! I saw another review of this place on yelp, and have always wanted to take my cats to a place like this because my old cat is really fuzzy and makes a huge mess in my tub when I do wash her. I emailed the owner because I wanted to know more about the process- what I needed to bring, if cats were served, when is a good time to come in with a cat who has never been to a self groom spa, etc. Amy, one of the owners emailed me back right away and let me know that weekdays in the mornings are the slowest, and that she would save me a tub on the end if I called ahead to make sure my cat would not be really stressed. So I decide to go this morning- I called the White Ln. location and I introduced myself and the woman on the phone was Amy! She recognized me right away and said that now was a perfect time and she would reserve the tub right away. I was there within 10 minutes and she was super helpful- recommended an oatmeal based shampoo because I let her know that my cat has really dry skin and set me up with all the tools and towels I needed. She emphasized if I need anything at all to just ask. My cat did really well- no more stressed out than her normal bath, and the pro tools for drying her made all the difference in the end to make it fast and easy. I think my cat has already forgotten that she was scrubbed 1/2 hour ago when usually it takes a couple of days for her to forgive me because she is still wet and has to lick herself dry. I will definitely be coming back- and bringing my other cat in a couple of days. They provide lots of towels, a professional apron for you so you don't get wet, a multitude of shampoos and conditioners, cotton balls with ear drop wipes, a wire brush, and a silicone brush. The tubs are deep the water and dryer are the right temps, and it went really smooth. I did bring my own cat toothpaste and brush though to do that at the same time. This place is obviously a great spot for dogs, but they are so cat friendly too! read more

Great place! Found it here on Yelp & I'd have to say this place meets up to its reputable reviews. It's very neat, tidy, they offer a basket with cleaning supplies that smell like blueberries, the bathing area is spacious & left my GSD with lots of room to move around & get splashed. I also like how the water temp is lukewarm so you don't have freezing furry friends! They offer blow driers & much needed Furminators for the shedding breeds & best part of all they clean up the mess once your done! They also have lots of treats, dog food & accessories for pets that are pretty neat. Very good prices, very polite staff, & very great place to give your furry friend a bath =) read more

I've always washed my dog (lab/German Shepherd) at home, but never again after being at the spa! He has never been more soft and felt as clean after being here! The process was super easy and my dog felt comfortable being here. Staff are helpful and always around to lend a hand. Never going to wash my dog at home again! read more

Super nice people offering great service and products! I don't live in Bakersfield, but would highly recommend this place to folks traveling with their pets through Bakersfield as a great place to stop in for a bath. read more

Self Serve Pet Spa - Benny all clean! - Pet Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

David, the owner of the store is very knowledgeable and very nice. When my dog was alive, my wife said it was the only place in town she would ever use to wash the dog. The owners take every care to make sure all the products are stocked on their shelves are made in the United States or verified quality European (no sketchy, 'Made in China' junk!) and with his knowledge about pet nutrition he can help you choose the perfect food for your pets. I highly recommend this place and they now take Bitcoin in payment. Way to go in keeping up with technology. read more

So much easier than doing at home. Husky hair for days! The staff members are friendly and never look mad that my dogs shed sooooo bad. My puppers feel welcomed and smile ;). Lots of treats and goodies to purchase. Saves my back! Bending over at home kills my back! Here I can stand upright and clean my babies and dry them. read more

I go the shop on White Ln. And it is awesome! My dog does not like it as much as I do but they are so helpful. I will continue to take my dog there. read more

Best food and service anywhere. Our dogs have showed an increase in energy and a good weight loss within a few months of eating EVO. Our eleven year old lab showed an increase in mobility and his coat was so shiny. I love taking our dogs to get scrubbed at the self serve warm water baths, the system is easy and the dogs love it. David and Amy are great with the customers service side, thats why we go there for all are pet's needs. Thank you guys!! read more

BEST PLACE FOR DOG GROOMING IN BAKERSFIELD! This is a one stop place for pet needs...you can buy pet food, toys, accessories and groom your dog (any dog) for less than $15.00 -- and since the groomer is YOU, there are no worries! The Self-Serve Pet Spa is conveniently located near Calloway and Rosedale -- so, after you get your pet looking their best...you and your pet can walk over and get the best sandwiches in Bakersfield at Heidi's, or enjoy a tall one at the Tilted Kit. (Both have outdoor food service on well shaded patios). Now for some details...the tubs are big, the water is warm, the shampoos that are supplied for you are the best, and the big, fresh, fluffy towels for after the bath are to die for. Everything you need is there...and after you are done...you get to walk away from the doggie bath mess! Dave and Amy are the best and can answer any question you may have about their products...plus they are fun to talk to -- okay, the truth is that they are both pretty hilarious and tend to keep us in stitches the whole time we are there! Don't forget to say 'Hi' to Sunny while you are there, (one of the nicest shop owners you will ever want to meet). Life is short...go spend some happy time with your pet...grooming has never been so affordable and fun! read more

I love the convenience of this wonderful business that helps keep me sane while keeping my dogs clean! They provide everything you need to give your dog a better bath than you could at home anyway. I go in with my 2 dogs and can secure one while I'm bathing the other. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I also love the Lupine line of collars and leashes they sell as well as the adorable collar scarves! read more

Self Serve Pet Spa - Love my bath! - Pet Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Hello everyone I really High recommend this place if you don't have anything to do on Saturday and you need to grooming your cat or dog its really nice place in Bakersfield. read more

Just gone done here about an hour or so ago and loved every second of it. It was my first time here and I was a bit nervous that my german shepard would cause a scene (she might have lol) but the women working were so patient and helpful and helped me get my fur baby in no problem (after several tries of course.) They checked in with me several times and at the end there was an enormous amount of options from treats to toys. Everything was super easy to use and to navigate. Absolutely recommend and will be coming back! read more

I usually just come here for their pet food options and pet toys, which they have a great variety of. However, yesterday I finally took my shin tzu here for the first wash. I was greeted by their friendly employee, Amy. She was so helpful and guided me with their wash options. It was so simple! Just choose your shampoo, conditioner, & whatever add on's you desire then they will give you a shower caddy with all your bathing tools (towels, wash cloth, eye drops, blow drying supplies, comb, brush, the works). They even give you an apron so you stay clean and dry. Once your done, they clean everything up for you. I will definitely come here for all my dog's washes. read more

I went here for the first time today with my pup, Austin was so helpful and even gave her various food samples to try since i'm trying to transition her into a better brand. Washing was very easy and not too pricey. Will defiantly be coming back! read more

Self serve pet spa is amazing! I'm always greeted with a smile and courteous employees that are knowledgeable of all products, food, etc.

Although I have only visited this place 2 times, I think it's beyond awesome. My very large dog refused to go up the ramp this last time & the owner came right over & helped me. He's "the man" and saved the day for us. So fortunate to have not only the self serve spa but also the owners as a wonderful part of our community. They are definitely perfect for this type of business. Cheers, Sheri read more

I really enjoyed taking my baby here for some fun, quality one on one time. The owners are very helpful, super friendly and very informative. The best part of grooming Goja is not having to break my back and lean over to wash her. They offer a variety of pet products, foods, snacks and other doggie essentials. One thing I liked was that I learned about new products while grooming and talking to the owner. Different tricks and some shortcut on hair care/shaving and ear care. After a shave, bath, blueberry facial, ear and teeth care (with gentle shampoos ect) Goja left there a brighter and much cleaner dog. I highly suggest anyone with a furry friend try this out. :) read more

So much easier than trying to wash the bigger pups at home. The products work and smell amazing! Service was sweet and helpful. Would absolutely recommend to other dog parents. read more

I haven't been to any other self-serve type of pet spa places, but I'd be reluctant to try any after being a regular customer here. This pet spa/shop is a great little gem in Bakersfield. It's extremely clean and updated, and you can't beat the fantastic customer care. There's never a wait longer than a few minutes to get into one of the dog-washing stations. We used to take our two medium-size dogs here for washing. We love the options and tools you get when you wash the dogs. They have nice, huge, walk-up ramps for cooperative dogs (or, if you're like us, you'll have to pick up your dog and force him/her into the tub). You are provided with aprons, protective eye drops for your dog, tea tree oil to clean out the ears, washcloths, a brush, plenty of towels, and drying tools. If you need something and you don't get it--just ask. David or Amy really try to accommodate to all your needs. Depending on the type of package you purchase, you are also provided with quality shampoo/conditioner options. We prefer the "Molly's Rainforest" package, which includes Espree conditioner that leaves our dogs smelling nice and clean for up to a couple of weeks. Also, depending on the package. you may get breath spray/doggy perfume/cologne. And with every wash your dogs will get endless attention/love from David and Amy. Not to mention the treats. Let's be real here: that, along with the affection/attention is what your dog really cares about. I think that's probably one of the most important features that kept us coming back. Our dogs recognized the owners and felt very comfortable and happy around them, so the bath was worth the suffering for that very reason. They never left upset or traumatized. We have done a little bit of shopping in their merchandise section as well. The prices seem reasonable, considering they really tend to carry a lot of higher-end items. Plus, I don't mind paying a little extra to support this business. Just the customer service alone is a huge incentive to support them. My husband and I moved out of Bakersfield several months ago, and we truly miss this place. If your dog got into a mud puddle at the dog park or is offending you with his/her stink, go check this place out. I can almost guarantee you'll be a returning customer. Xero and Zoey miss the Self-Serve Pet Spa! read more

What a great experience! The person who greeted and helped us (Amy?) had the most positive attitude and was super friendly. The place is easy to find, good parking and easy to use self-serve "bathtubs" for your dog. My dog and I left clean and happy! Good value. read more

After several months of bath debacles at home with my English Pointer darting out of the shower and tracking water all over the house, I decided to go to the dog wash instead to see how she'd fare. The staff was super friendly, and my dog actually didn't seem to mind! This place is full-service (minus the actual washing part) with fluffy towels, soap and all the accoutrements you'd need to give your dog a good bath. We'll definitely be back! read more

I love this place! I have been coming here for awhile but I used to just use their grooming services and buy my dogs treats, toys and goodies but not their all natural dog food. I recently switched to one of the all organic and naturally healthy dog foods (Now Fresh) and I really can see a difference in my pups. They both have more energy and one who was a little chubby lost some weight and looks healthier than ever. I really appreciate the service here and how knowledgeable the staff and owners are. These people truly care about their customers including the animals! I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Thanks for taking care of my babies SSPS! read more

Today I was a transporter for a rescue dog. Mary was really dirty and my daughter and I felt she needed a bath. We took Mary to Self Serve Pet Spa (located at 2816 Calloway Dr. #103, Bakersfield, CA) for her bath today. The owner was very friendly, courteous, helpful and genuinely interested in Mary's story. He expressed his support for rescue and he spoiled Mary while we were there. The store is a self serve pet wash with individual pet wash stations. They provide you with the shampoo of your choosing, eye drops to protect your dogs eyes during bathing, cotton balls soaked with ear cleaner for their ears, a rubber curry comb if your dog needs a good scrub/or massage, attachments to the dryer, towel to wash their face, drying towels, aprons... Etc. The store also has treats, leashes and collars, dog food and pet care products. I urge any of you to patronize his business when your in Bakersfield. I know the next time I'm there I will be going back! read more

Love this place. this place is the only place in this town that carries my dog's food of choice (orejins). The prices are good (compared online) and they are always friendly. Highly recommend read more

I love this place. The couple that owns this place are super nice. The equipment there is clean. And the prices are very reasonable. You can buy pet food there and supplies but I have only used the wash service. And with the $2 off for checking in via yelp, you cant beat that! read more

I really love this place and I'm not just trying to sell it on you. I have an old big dog and it's just not practical to do it in my bathtub. I always get the hypoallergenic wash which is two dollars more, and she's so soft and clean after wards. The staff there are genuinely friendly and they truly are an asset to this community, participating in local fund raising for pets in need. read more

I've been back twice and each time had a great experience. It's so nice to be able to drop in and give my big, dirty dog a bath. The staff are always helpful, giving lots of tips about bathing and dog food. I hear they're opening up a second spa in Southwest Bakersfield, which I'm sure will be a great success. This is a great place for people and pets alike. read more

Amazing self-serving Pet Spa. Prices are very reasonable. My dog, German Shepherd fit great in the tub and she loved it even though she was a little nervous at first, Amy who works there was helpful, friendly and very professional. I absolutely recommend this awesome pet spa and we will be returning here. read more

This is honestly the best place ever to get all your dog needs! David and Amy are awesome and totally helpful and answer any question you could think of . All the affection/attention they give towards my dog made her so happy. They are just down right awesome!!! read more
