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
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.
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!
Choosing Hippie Hounds as your dog groomer is choosing a team of experts with 21 years of professional experience and a shared dedication to treating EVERY dog as our own. We work together to operate on a 1:1 human-to-dog ratio, tailoring our services to support all dogs individually.
We’re so grateful for the relationships we’ve built with our longtime clients, and our doors are always open to welcome new clients. We strive to be your trusted dog groomer!

Our Customers Love Us
And the feeling is mutual! Check out some of our recent reviews on Google.
I have taken my dog here twice with good results. They saw me waiting out in the car and brought the credit card machine out so they could do my checkout then brought my dog out to my car when he was done. They cut his length just as requested and he looks cool in his hippie bandana 😍
They always treat Zeus very well when we go to get his mani pedi
Wow. What a wonderful experience I had on yesterday. First time visiting and I was unsure of what to expect or how my dog would react . Well overall my dog was good (lots of barking because she was nervous about being around other dogs). The facility is very very clean. There is a area for towels, aprons, scented sprays after washing and treats if needs. The staff will make sure the stalk is sanitized prior and after using (awesome) you are allowed to take pictures or videos of your pup if you like. Staff helps you get started by securing your pup on the table and showing you how to add the soap, wash rinse etc . Thanks for your patience and understanding for our first visit. If you want they have full service choices as well. Let me say prices are extremely reasonable omg these are the best owners, staff and there is plenty of parking. It’s a walk in facility. I can’t say enough about the quality, value, compassion and professionalism this team of people have for the pups who enter in. I truly highly recommend this location for self service, full service grooming. Better than other locations in the area. They will not disappoint. Make sure to leave a tip of gratitude, drop off towels, treats from Mud Bay. Lastly, they provide shampoo and conditioner. If your pup has sensitive skin/coats let them know. Staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. My pup did well for her first nail trimming as well thanks again to Aaron and the rest of the staff I’ll definitely return in a monthly basis for nail trimming and as often as needed for bathing. They also have a punch card(make sure to get yours) ok that’s all I have for now . Thanks for a great first time experience.
This was my first time at Hippy Hounds & this is my experience.
1: The staff are friendly, helpful & gave clear explanations of what was on offer, where everything was & how it all worked. A special thanks has to be added given that they were quite busy, at the time.
2: Prices are very reasonable, especially as the nail trimming was done by employees taking their time to do a great job.
3: Parking was plentiful.
4: The place is obviously well used, but not tired or shabby & its all a good sign that plenty of people are coming here because they trust them.
5: Be ready for water & dog fur on the floor.....I wasn't! But the floor surface is about as slip resistant as could reasonably be expected.
6: Earplugs! We had wash bays either side of us with howling, screeching dogs. Not a fault of the business but my ears were ringing afterwards. If it bothers you then best be prepared.
We will be going again.

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? 🤔

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.
