History

Established in 2012.

Welcome to Uptown Woofs!

We are new to the La Jolla area but come with 40 years of dog grooming experience. We relocated from St. Louis for, of course, «the weather» but also because of the dog-​friendly nature of all of California.

Your dog’s health is important to us and we will become a critical part of your dog’s health plan. With every visit we will look at skin, coat, teeth, paws etc. checking for possible health issues. If I find anything that is cause for concern, we will let you know immediately so you can take the appropriate action to keep your pet healthy and happy.

Sincerely, Uptown Woofs

Meet the Manager

Nickie H.

Manager

Welcome to Uptown Woofs!

My name is Nickie and I have been grooming and showing dogs for forty years. I specialize in hand scissor cuts and working with dogs that have issues. Grooming a dog takes both trust and respect. Neither of those things can be had by bullying, muzzling or drugging. With a little extra TLC, before you know it, your dog will be excited to come see us and drag you in the door, instead of back to the car.

For friendly, outgoing, non-​aggressive dogs who’s health is not compromised, I run an open-​shop. The cage-​less approach allows the dogs to roam within the secured grooming area having fun and meeting new friends, but still be under our constant supervision. For the less outgoing and fragile, I have very large crates available for them to hang out in right next to us until their ride comes to pick them up.
