Immaculate Paws - Riverside, California

CD

Immaculate Paws offers a convenient self-service option for washing, drying, and brushing your dog, with all necessary supplies provided and flexible hours of operation. The staff is friendly and helpful—a very nice attendant was on-site during my visit.

However, I found the pricing to be excessive, with a base fee of $17.99 plus an additional $8 for extra drying time. While they do provide an extra dryer, the setup is inconvenient; the grooming loop is at ground level rather than on an elevated table, which is one of the main reasons I prefer using a self-service location rather than washing my dog at home. For nearly $30, I didn’t expect to be hunched over at floor level.

Overall, while the facility is well-equipped, the pricing makes it a less frequent choice for me. There are other places within a 10-minute drive that offer self-service options at a third of the price. Those places also have groomers on-site and offer add-on services like sanitary trims, nail clipping, and ear cleaning.

To the owner: Your establishment could be greatly improved with a few low-cost upgrades. Consider adding a table in the secondary drying area and installing proper grooming loops at both the washing and drying stations. It would also be helpful to offer a stronger facial soap solution than what comes from the machine. Finally, a spritz of doggie cologne at the end would be a nice touch.

This review is long overdue (sorry John) as I've been here about 6 or 7 times now. Also I apologize for the long review I just want to make sure you all know what to expect!

First of all let me say the owner and his whole family are some of the nicest, kindest, and sweetest people you'll ever meet! John, Connie, Marie, and Peter, whom I've all met on different visits, have all been so amazing and lovely every time I brought my sweet Gemma girl here!

When you first walk in you're greeted by a super clean and well kept establishment! There are two washing tubs on the right side and even some vending machines with various treats you can reward your dog or cat with! On the walls they provide aprons, little towels to dry your pet with, and even brushes! All free of charge! On the opposite end of the room there's an additional dryer to use if you need some additional time to dry your pet! Again absolutely free! There's even a cool dog decal on the wall with a cute doggo on it with clocks for eyes!

John (the owner) was there the first time I brought Gemma in and he was so helpful in explaining the whole process. He took the time to explain all the features of the pet washing machine and all the amenities available to me as a customer! Which I truly appreciated

In regards to the machines itself, they have these super cool self wash machines that make the whole process super easy and fun, at least for me (This was the first time I ever washed my dog as she was a stray my girlfriend and I found) The machine itself has different settings and you are able to choose from two different hoses (one for washing and one for drying).

So when you first start, for the super affordable price of $17.99, it gives you the option to disinfect the tub. Then what's your done disinfecting there's a timer that goes on for about 18 minutes (I think it's for that long haha sorry can't remember how long off the top of my head because you honestly have plenty of time to wash your furry friend ). Then once you get your pet in the tub there is an option to hook up their collar to an they adjustable leash. So if you have an escape artist on your hand this is particularly useful . Then you go through the whole process with the different settings. There's shampoo, rinse, conditioner, flea wash, dry low, and dry high. Plus! Let's say you wanna take some extra time to really scrub your pet. There's even an option to pause the timer!!! Then once you're all finished and the time is complete It gives you the option to disinfect the tub again! Then you're all done!

Overall the whole experience is quick, easy, and very affordable! Every single member of John's family that I met from his wife Connie to his parents Peter and Marie have made my dog washing here such a pleasant experience. If you wanna chat with them don't be shy as they will be more then happy to share with you some stories and a laugh or two. If you just wanna get in and get out, they will definitely give you some privacy by stepping in their office. They honestly just want you to feel comfortable and taken care of at Immaculate Paws.

So if you've been thinking about trying this new spot out please stop on by and give this place a try! You will love it here and I guarantee you'll add this amazing pet washing utopia to your pet's grooming routine

Visiting from Colorado with our Goldendoodle. He played hard for a week in a yard with no grass. Found this gem in Riverside to wash him. Easy, affordable and everything we needed to make him smell and look good. Highly recommend this pet wash.

Very convenient! Our first time going and we enjoyed our experience. Nice lady showed us how to use it and we had extra time left over, even though we really dig in. Will come back again! And might do the membership!!!!

This place wouldn't show up on google but i found it on yelp. Hands down the best self serve pet wash, I've ever been to. It is very nice and very clean. They have everything you could ever want to clean your pet. And the lady working was super nice and helpful. Will be back.

Why take your dog somewhere and spend a ton, when you can spend little and just do it yourself? Amazing place!

Finally a self dog wash in Riverside! There’s so many in OC and 1 I know of in Upland so when I finally saw there was a self wash I was so excited. I took my pup today and had a great experience, the facility was clean and the woman who worked there explained how everything worked and left me to it. Overall it’s a great place that I will absolutely be coming back to 😊
