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.

Today, we are closed to celebrate and honor Juneteenth. ❤️🖤💚💛

A word from our co-owner and CFO, Aaron: "Juneteenth isn`t just a federally recognized holiday to me. It`s a celebration of my family`s roots, a moment to remember how far we`ve come, and a reminder to be proud of who I am."

As a proud Black-owned small business, the whole Hippie Hounds family stands with Aaron in celebrating this hard-won freedom—one that far too many never got to know. We honor those who fought for equality, and we stand with all who continue that fight today. 🐾

Our salon will open again tomorrow, Saturday the 20th, at 9:00 am. 🫶

If you’ve ever wondered why we slip this guy (the Happy Hoodie) on your doggo, it’s for a few reasons.

1️⃣ Most importantly, it helps keep dogs calm during the blow-drying process.

2️⃣ When used properly, the Happy Hoodie flips the ears down to push on the ear canal, reducing noise.

3️⃣ It reduces air blowing into their ears (which most dogs are, obviously, sensitive to).

Measures like these go a long way in helping dogs feel comfortable during grooming, which helps them learn to trust us and the process. Our top priority is always your pup’s safety and comfort, taking every measure necessary because she deserves nothing less.

Is your dog sensitive to grooming? If so, we’d love to know his sensitivities and grooming history so we can provide him the best care possible. Call us at (425) 673-5447 to give us the deets and get your dog scheduled for an appointment.

We are a judgment-free, all-dog-welcome zone. 🫶

Ever wonder why we use the soft muzzle for grooming? It`s a non-breathing restrictive option that helps dogs who have a bite history or who are generally overwhelmed by the grooming process to feel calm. We will always put your dog`s health, comfort, and safety above all else, leaning on solutions like this one to make the grooming experience as pleasant as possible for your pup. 💙
