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.

Hey, Hippie Hounds Fam! We are closed today (Saturday, July 12) because after months of training, we’re off on a bike ride. But not just *any* bike ride. It’s our 2nd year to participate in the STP Bicycle Classic, a 2-day, 206-mile bike ride from Seattle to Portland. We’ll be back on Tuesday and ready to scrub your pups! Thank you for your support!

Move over, Google Translate; Hippie Hounds has a new way to communicate: Groomer Translate!

We’re happy to achieve your stylistic preferences as much as possible (if optimal for your dog), but sometimes, we need a little translating of a haircut request so that we`re all on the same page.

For example, when you ask for a “Puppy Cut,” what that means to a groomer is trimming your dog’s coat the same length all over. But maybe you just want your dog to look like she did when she was a puppy. 🐶

We’ll always try to get as much information as we can from you to make sure we’re working toward the same vision, but please don’t hesitate to show us photo examples and/or give us all the context you can before your dog’s groom. That way, we can explain what’s needed in our grooming process and determine the best cut to suit your dog’s overall health!

An all–natural and effective product that we LOVE and use in our salon is “The Solution” conditioner from @doublekindustries Groomer’s Edge product line. 🧴

During the summer, your dog’s coat is working overtime to help keep him cool. This conditioner is a powerful combination of humectant and emollient, and it’s suitable for all coat types. The Solution helps add moisture back into the fur, rehydrating it and releasing trapped “dead” hair.

Despite being unscented, The Solution leaves your dog smelling fresh, feeling cool, and loving his silky smooth coat. 💡Pro Tip: For coats that can get matted, The Solution is a powerful detangler and can even be diluted to a leave-in conditioner when following the label directions.

Whether you’re bringing your dog to Hippie Hounds for a full-service haircut or giving him a scrub at our self-wash, he’ll be pampered using only the best, plant-based, and gentle products. 🧽🌱
