U-Wash Doggie SCV was born out of Francisco Gamero’s recurring frustration over the hassle associated with washing his Golden Retriever, Max, in the bathtub at home.
Convinced there had to be a better way for pet washing, he opened the first U-Wash Doggie store in Santa Clarita, California in 1991. Now, U-Wash Doggie operates in two locations in SCV, Newhall and Saugus.
Both locations offer DIY, "Do It Yourself” pet wash and full service Professional Grooming of all pet breeds.
