Would you rather your dog “just” get a cute haircut or what’s best for his holistic health? At Hippie Hounds, your dog’s health needs come first when determining our grooming plan. With our team of experts on your side, you can expect a high-quality groom executed with an even higher standard of health and safety practices for your dog, no matter her breed, size, age, or behavior, every time.

 

Three professional dog groomers, Amanda, Anna, and Aaron (aka The A-Team) with 21 years of experience, established Hippie Hounds Dog Grooming & Self-Wash in 2016. All having started their dog grooming careers at PetSmart, the three crossed paths over the years and connected on their shared dedication to dogs.

A team of dog grooming experts with 21 years of professional experience.

 

They had seen too many instances of low-quality care that prioritized the dog groomer’s efficiency while subjecting the dog to long-term health and safety hazards. Understanding that the issue was rooted in most salons being owned and operated by people who don’t have professional grooming experience, The A Team aligned on their mission: create a dog grooming business owned and operated by professionals with extensive experience that only uses the best, all-natural products and gentle dog-friendly processes. As soon as a location was available, Amanda, Anna, and Aaron seized the opportunity and spent every last dollar they had to bring their dream to life.

 

With your dog at the center of every single thing we do, we’ve established a new normal for dog grooming. Our amazing professional grooming team of dog lovers works together to perform all grooming in stages and maintain a 1:1 human-to-dog ratio at all times. Rather than each groomer having a separate schedule, we take an all-hands-on-deck approach to ensure that your dog is comfortable and given the undivided and personalized attention he deserves.

 

We treat every dog as an individual and lean on our decades of experience to tailor our services to their unique needs. Regular grooming is an essential healthcare practice for your dog as the state of her coat impacts her whole health and can even be an indicator of certain conditions. This truth is taken very seriously at Hippie Hounds and woven into every operation and apparatus — from our coat-enhancing and plant-based shampoos/conditioners to our by-hand blow-drys and desensitization techniques.

 

Choosing Hippie Hounds as your dog groomer is making the best choice you can for your dog’s holistic health.

From Aaron, our co-owner and CFO: "On June 19, 1865, Union Soldiers finally made their way to Galveston, Texas, with orders declaring that the more than 250,000 prior enslaved people still there were free. It was more than two long years after the Emancipation Proclamation had been given, yet the South was resistant to accepting their defeat and refused to free the people.

"That day was only 160 years ago. Juneteenth is powerful to me because my family`s American roots began in Texas. My Great Grandpa was a proud Texan and a proud Black American. He taught me the value of hard work, dedication to my family, respect for all living things, and to live in gratitude. Generations before him were some of the very people involved in the original Juneteenth celebrations. And here I am today, generations after him, a proud Black business owner.

"I honor my family`s history and my ancestors, knowing that I would not be where I am today without them and the roads they traveled down. Juneteenth to me is now not only a federally recognized holiday, but also a personal celebration of my family`s Texas roots, remembering where we have come from, and feeling proud to be who I am today."

At Hippie Hounds, we are proud to be a Black-owned small business and to celebrate the long-fought-for freedom that we all deserve, but far too many before us didn’t have. Here’s to those who fought and continue to fight for equality for all.

It’s #InternationalCorgiDay and a perfect time to spotlight some of the beloved and goofy Corgis we’ve groomed at Hippie Hounds, featuring: Chloe, Penny, Zora, Lucy, and Napa. We love this silly, sharp-witted, and small-but-mighty breed (and their adorable little booties 🍑).

Did you know that Corgis…

🐾 Are low to the ground to avoid cattle kicking them? They would bite at the heels of the herds and then duck underneath the powerful cow`s hooves flying at them!

🐾 Thrive with lots of exercise and stimulation for their active minds; without it, their boredom can have destructive consequences.

🐾 Benefit from monthly baths with proper conditioning and re-moisturizing. A deshed bath and brush-out is perfect for keeping your corgi at optimal grooming health!

🐾 Last but not least, Corgis are notorious for having sensitive feet. Plus, their long bodies and short legs often cause joint discomfort, so it’s important to handle them very cautiously to keep them safe and comfortable!
