About Us

Expert & Approachable Dog Groomers Who CARE

Hippie Hounds is a health-focused dog salon created in 2016 by three professional, Seattle-based dog groomers. We are collectively motivated to provide dogs with better care than the standard accepted across many dog grooming salons in Washington.

 

We built Hippie Hounds to provide premium dog grooming services to clients in Lynnwood, Edmonds, Shoreline, Mukilteo, Everett, and their surrounding communities, because your dog’s health deserves it.

Dog grooming is more than a luxury; it’s a necessity. When practiced regularly and done thoughtfully, grooming can play a significant role in supporting your dog’s overall health. This truth is rooted in every aspect of Hippie Hounds’ holistic and personalized grooming process.

Our Story

The A-Team of Hippie Hounds Dog Grooming: Aaron, Anna, and Amanda in 2018
The A-Team in 2018: Aaron, Anna & Amanda

Hippie Hounds came to be when long-term dog-groomers, Aaron, Amanda, and Anna (aka The A-Team), crossed paths and connected on their shared insights on the dog grooming industry standards in Washington. Equally passionate about dogs and giving the Seattle community access to higher-quality dog-grooming services, The A-Team pooled each of their life savings to start Hippie Hounds.

In 2017, Hippie Hounds expanded the Lynnwood location to two suites. Work starts now!
In 2017, Hippie Hounds expanded our Lynnwood location to two suites. We started by cutting the kennel and then breaking down the wall.

From each needing to work another job … to six years spent working six days a week … to starting our Lynnwood shop with one small suite … to opening a second location in Shoreline in 2018 … to expanding our Lynnwood shop to two suites … to having to close our Shoreline location due to COVID in 2021 … to expanding our Lynnwood shop once more to today’s 4,000 sq. ft space, Hippie Hounds has come a long way and has grown to include 20 employees!

At Hippie Hounds, we care for every dog as if they were our own.

Our Core Values

EVERY dog is welcome and will be treated with loving hands.

Grooming is NOT a one-size-fits-all deal — every dog is different and deserves individualized care.

An optimal grooming experience puts the dog first in all aspects of comfort, health, and safety.

Every grooming visit is dedicated to holistic wellness and conducted with only premium, plant-based products.

We empower our team of professional groomers with continued education and a positive working environment.

We use a gentle, hands-on approach and positive reinforcement training to assist every dog throughout the grooming process.

We educate our customers on the holistic benefits of grooming and the health indicators it can bring to light.

We maintain a clean and hazard-free workspace through an organized flow of operations and diligent collaboration.

You vs. who they said not to worry about 😜🐾 Miss Penny is looking mighty fine, fresh, and clean after her remoisturizing bath, brush, and blowout with de-shedding. 

Not only does she look great, but her skin is happy and hydrated after getting the essentials it needed to keep her coat soft and silky smooth. Seattle isn’t ready for Penny to strut her stuff.

⚠️ Summer Hazard Spotting! This is what a foxtail, stuck between your dog’s toes, looks like. ⚠️ 

Foxtails are a particularly pesky weed that can cause potentially life-threatening infections if not found and removed from your dog quickly. Give your dog a thorough inspection after taking her outside, especially paying attention to the tiny nooks and crannies between her toes.

We are so proud to be a Black Owned Business, and in honor of #NationalBlackOwnedBusinessMonth, we’re shining a light on someone who brings so much light of his own to all of us at Hippie Hounds, our Co-Owner, CFO, and Groomer, AARON!! 🩵

Aaron has been dog grooming professionally since he was 14 years old, and has a love for dogs so strong that it encouraged him to build Hippie Hounds from the ground up, with Amanda and Anna by his side, with the sole purpose being providing dogs with better grooming services than the industry standard. 

As CFO, Shop Director, and Groomer, Aaron does a little bit of everything. He keeps the schedule running smoothly, makes sure the team is set up for success, and is the go-to person for handling the biggest, wildest, or most nervous dogs. He has a calm confidence that helps dogs settle in and staff stay grounded. And he genuinely enjoys the puzzle of fitting all the day’s moving parts together.

We are so thankful for Aaron and all he’s poured, and continues to pour, into Hippie Hounds.

Hey, it’s [us], here to remind you to schedule your dog’s next pampering session! 🐶🫧 

A regular bath and coat maintenance routine is especially important during the hot, humid, and sun-soaked days of this season. Pampering at Hippie Hounds means getting specialized treatment with only the best, plant-based products and gentle approaches to grooming, which prioritize your dog’s holistic health down to every detail. 🩵

To schedule your dog’s next grooming appointment, please call us at (425) 673-5447. Learn more about our holistic grooming process at HippieHounds.com (Link in Bio).
🐶📣 Your Dog Wants You to Know: High heat, humidity, and too much time in the sun can dry out their coat and cause itchiness. 🐶📣

Giving your dog necessary breaks from the sun and heat is as important as maintaining a regular grooming regimen, which includes at least a monthly re-moisturizing bath, brush, and de-shed/de-mat. All coat types require this maintenance to function properly, as it impacts their ability to regulate their body temperature and prevents skin irritation and other more serious conditions. 

Give us a call at (425) 673-5447 to schedule your dog's next groom or come visit our self-wash to give your dog a good scrub. And as always, we’re here to answer any of your questions! 🩵

Who could possibly be the culprit of this hairy situation? 🤔

Whether your dog has a coat as long as Wisdom’s here, curls, or is short-haired, we will customize his groom to his coat type and coat condition — we will always do what’s best for your dog, no matter how hairy the situation! 😊

We absolutely LOVE @suziescbdtreats, our recommended, third-party quality-tested, and USDA-certified Organic dog-safe CBD product! We even carry an array of Suzie’s products at our salon in Lynnwood (check out our vending machine next time you're at the salon 😊) and give our own dog, Pearl, Suzie’s CBD drops regularly. We genuinely believe that doing so has made a positive impact on Pearl’s quality of life as a 15-year-old lady.
