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.
