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.
These people are so wonderful!
They know my dogs by name on sight (and me on sight, too!).
My reactive COVID pup never growls or acts aggressive with them.
They get done quickly. The dogs are clean and they look good, and they don't act traumatized.
I'm not sure what more you could ask!

Amazing staff and experience. I bring my dog to Hippie Hounds for grooming. This recent visit I wasn’t able to pick my dog up after his groom due to a dr appointment, and the staff were helpful to take him out for a quick pee break. When I went to pick him up, I noticed his face needed a quick trim due to its length and the staff was nice to help with that. Highly recommend.
Been coming here for 5 years and realized I hadn't left a FIVE star review yet. Aaron (spelling?) and his crew take care of our pups with so much care and love when they come in. So thankful for all the help over the years as my older dog won't let me cut his nails and they take extra precautions with my younger pup that has health issues.
This was our first time coming here and getting our dogs groomed since moving to WA. It was such a good experience and they turned out great! Everyone was very welcoming and it was clear our babies had been well taken care of!
We have been taking our dogs to Hippie Hounds for more than 5+ years. They always take such excellent care of our dogs starting with Laddie-2 and Lili and for the past 2-1/2 years our latest family addition Inky (a rescue from TX). Inky is very relaxed with Hippie Hounds which is not her normal state but then again the team at Hippie Hounds are not strangers to Inky.
IVE BEEN A CUSTOMER FOR 3 YEARS NOW . I have brought 2 family pets for the grooming services from their nose, toes and tails. They Always greet you and treat your family pets with respect and care. I consider them Best Grooming salon and self washing stations in Snohomish county, very knowledgeable and experienced in their field of EXPERTISE.

Fast friendly and professional! Everyone loves Doobie!! 🥰
I just picked my dog up from hippie hounds after her third or fourth time being groomed here, and I am compelled to write an updated review now that I have enough experience here to say more confidently that this is the place to take your pet for grooming. Staff is fantastic and they simply rock at what they do. Full grooming sessions take quite a while, 4ish hours (for my dog at least- double coat, often some tough matted spots to deal with) and it is still so worth it because the result is 10/10 every time. No complaints, big fan!
Dog looks great, 120 lb pyranees. Would recommend.
I just took my dogs here yesterday for the first time. I love this place already. I have pretty nervous dogs who hate nail trims and usually have longer nails due to this. Most places aren’t able to clip them short enough so that it doesn’t cause them sensitivity. They were so sweet to my girls! The dremel they use really helps to cut my dogs nails down pretty significantly. Also, due to one of my dogs dewclaws being longer they accidentally nicked her but acted so fast and explained everything they were doing to care for it. I really appreciated the communication! Also my dog was fine! They put some glue on it and then gave us products to wrap it at home so it doesn’t get irritated! They also cleaned it really well and they were super apologetic even though she was fine! They also only made us pay for one because of the accident. I will definitely be back! The whole team was amazing!
If your Hippie Hounds grooming and/or self-wash experience made an impact on you, we want to hear about it! Your feedback is so important to us — we are always striving to optimize our grooming services for every dog’s comfort and holistic wellness.

There`s nothing quite like watching a gorgeous coat come to life, especially when the dog rocking it is as charming as Griffey here. We had the best time with him, and honestly? We think he had a pretty good time too. 😌🩵
Leave us a comment below if Griffey just made your day! 🐾

Some dogs need a little extra love—and that`s exactly what we`re here for. 🩵
At Hippie Hounds, we offer special needs grooming for dogs of every temperament, age, and condition. No dog is ever turned away.
Instead of relying on extra restraints, we bring in extra hands. A second team member assists the groomer, so your dog feels held, encouraged, and comfortable—never strapped down.
Because comfort builds trust, and trust changes everything. 😌🐾

Watch how we work through every millimeter of a coat like Griffey’s here, using one of the most important techniques for thick, long-haired dogs: line brushing.
So what is it? Line brushing means working through the coat in small sections, one horizontal "line" at a time. We part the hair, brush from the skin outward, then move up bit by bit until the whole coat is done.
Why do we do it this way? Because matting starts close to the skin—right where a quick surface brush misses. Working section by section makes sure every layer gets attention, not just the top.
And why does it matter? For dogs like Griffey, tangles and mats aren`t just cosmetic. They pull at the skin, trap moisture, and can cause real discomfort. Line brushing keeps his coat healthy, comfortable, and looking his best.
It takes a little extra time and a lot of patience—but Griffey and all of our long-haired four-legged friends are worth every second. 🩵
