about us
A wash built around wagging tails
Tubtail Dog Wash started in 2006 with one tub and a simple belief: grooming should feel like a treat, not a chore — for dogs and their humans alike.
our story
From one tub to California’s happiest wash
Our founder Emma Reed began washing neighborhood dogs in her garage, learning that patience beats speed every time. Word spread, the garage became a salon, and the salon became Tubtail — but the rule never changed: no rushed dogs, no stressed pups, no shortcuts.
Today our certified team grooms thousands of dogs a year, from first-puppy-wash Beagles to silver-muzzled seniors, and every single one gets the same slow, gentle, treat-filled experience.
