Colton is home to Animal Kingdom’s original shop, at 937 S. Via Lata #300. It is the shop to call or text for a full groom, a bath or the $5 nail trim, and the only one with online booking.
The same address is home to Animal Kingdom Self Dog Wash: fully automated tubs with hypoallergenic shampoo and conditioner, for days when you would rather wash your dog yourself.
Colton sits where I-10 meets I-215, with the Santa Ana River running through and Reche Canyon climbing toward Moreno Valley. That makes it an easy stop on the way to work or home from almost anywhere in the valley.
Colton · San Bernardino County
What Colton dogs come in for.
Summer trims for curly coats
Doodles, poodles and Shih Tzus stay cooler and cleaner through a valley-floor summer with a shorter, mat-free trim.
Deshedding for double coats
Huskies, shepherds and goldens get a Husky/Shep bath and deshedding instead of a shave, to clear the undercoat and keep the coat that shades the skin.
River-bottom clean-ups
Dogs who explore the Santa Ana River trail edges come home with burrs, dust and the occasional foxtail. A bath and a neat trim around the feet help.
Quick nail trims
The $5 nail trim keeps nails short between full grooms.
Local notes
Good to know in Colton.
Heat
Colton is on the valley floor, where summer afternoons regularly pass 100°F. Book early appointments for heavy-coated dogs, and walk before the pavement heats up.
Wind and dust
Santa Ana winds funnel dust and dry air through the Inland Empire in fall and winter. Dry, flaky skin is common; the Royal packages use sensitive skin shampoo.
Self Dog Wash
The Colton shop’s self-wash lists its hours as 8am to 8pm every day, with an unlimited membership. Call 951-367-5200 with questions.

Bleeding nail, a hot spot, limping, a cut, or a dog that seems unwell? Call your veterinarian. Heavy panting, collapse or vomiting on a hot day can be heatstroke: move your dog to shade, wet it with cool (not ice-cold) water and get to a vet right away.
