The 10 Best Dog Groomers in San Francisco (2026)
This list ranks San Francisco dog groomers using live Google review data and a Bayesian-style score that weights average ratings by review count, updated for 2026. We prioritized consistent, highly rated shops across a range of neighborhoods so you can find options whether you live near downtown, the western neighborhoods, or the Mission. Local grooming shops here often serve busy city households, apartment dwellers and weekend dog-walkers alike, so availability and walk-in policies can vary. Use the ranking as a starting point and check each salon’s current hours and service list before booking.
This ranking is computed from Google reviews (our method). Listings marked Partner are paid advertising spots: they sit alongside the ranking without changing its order.
