Today's side deal pampers your pooch with $50 worth of services for $20 at Bow Wow Beauty Shoppe, a top-rated fur-care boutique that's been awarded Best Groomer in the San Diego area by the Gay and Lesbian Times. Bubble-gum-colored walls, teeny tables hosting framed dog-silhouette photos, and dangling chandeliers give the University Avenue pet salon a retro-luxe feel that's a step above the average corner clip-and-go.

Prices vary per pooch size, with bitsy barkers enjoying the lowest rates ($20 for basic bath, $45–$55 for a fur cut and bath). Larger-dog (Saint Bernard, Great Dane) services start at $50 for basic bath, and $75–$90 for both cut and cleanup. You can also schedule à la carte nail trimming ($10–$15).

Despite its canine-centric name, Bow Wow also offers treatments for cats ($40 for a bath and dry, up to $75 for a lion cut). Or you can opt to apply your Groupon toward a stay at the swanky new Pet Hotel Suites, which include 400-thread-count-pillow beds, a small indoor doggy lounge, and a large gated and fenced backyard. This Groupon can also apply toward pet day care, or toward any treatment other than product; view a complete list of prices and services available here. Call ahead to schedule an appointment.
