This page highlights some of my personal go-to local businesses in Pacific Beach and the greater San Diego area that share my values of compassion, professionalism, and putting pets first.
Whether you’re searching for a trusted San Diego dog groomer, a pet supply store with healthy treats and durable toys, or a veterinarian that provides compassionate Fear Free care, these are some of the best options in our community.
Grooming Happy Pet
Address: 951 Garnet Ave, San Diego, CA 92109
Phone: (858) 203-7485

Happy Pet in PB is my top recommendation for dog grooming in Pacific Beach. Their team is gentle, patient, and focused on making every dog feel safe and comfortable during the grooming process. Even after being away for 10 weeks, the groomer still remembered the perfect cut for my dog—she left looking fantastic and smelling of blueberries.
Happy Pet offers everything from full-service grooming and quick clean-ups to convenient self-dog wash stations at affordable prices. They truly take the time to get to know each dog’s unique needs, and they even have a fun “puppuccino bar” for your pup to enjoy. As a special bonus, if you book a grooming appointment with Happy Pet PB, you can save $40 on any training package with Dog Training By Aviry.

In addition to grooming, Happy Pet PB is also one of my favorite local pet supply stores in Pacific Beach. Whether you’re searching for durable dog toys, enrichment puzzles, or healthy dog treats, they stock carefully selected products you won’t usually find in big box stores. Their variety of high-quality treats and toys makes it a great spot for pet parents who want the best for their dogs.
