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 work environment is laid back and stress-free, which is reflected in how dogs respond to our care. You have our word that your dog is in the best hands and will be treated only with love.

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.

Witness Patti the Cocker Spaniel's grooming transformation, who came in with a matted coat that showed off her love of playing outside. From a pre-bath shave to a deep scrub in the tub to a fresh cut, Patti left our salon a whole new girl. 🐾 Give us a call at (425) 673-5447 to schedule your dog's next haircut and fresh summer look!#HippieHounds #HippieHoundsGrooming #DogGrooming #Seattle #DogsOfInstagram #CockerSpaniel #DogHaircuts
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!#HippieHounds #HippieHoundsGrooming #CorgisOfInstagram #CorgiNation #Corgis #DogGroomer #Seattle #DogsOfSeattle

We have appointments available and would love to wash away your pup's winter blues. Mud? Rain? Ruff holiday season? We got you!

So grateful for the loyalty and support of our longtime customers.
When Aaron first became a professional groomer in 2009, Sawyer's family was Aaron's first request clients.
Kobe and Jackson have both crossed the rainbow bridge, and now Sawyer is the new man on campus.
One of the bittersweet joys of being a dog groomer is helping a puppy through their first groom, and being there for them for their last.
Not only do we get to know your beloved pets, we also get to form solid relationships with our community that can span many years.
Thank you all for coming into our business and trusting us with your furbabies. And a special thank you to all our day ones - we appreciate you!
