We are grooming professionals Amanda, Anna, and Aaron, and we started Hippie Hounds to do what many grooming businesses do not: to provide quality care catered solely to a dog’s needs and comfort. We are passionate about what we do and provide every dog in our care with the unique love and attention they deserve.
We Aren't Your Typical Dog Groomers
We Aren't Your Typical Dog Groomers
We are grooming professionals Amanda, Anna, and Aaron, and we started Hippie Hounds to do what many grooming businesses do not: to provide quality care catered solely to a dog’s needs and comfort. We are passionate about what we do and provide every dog in our care with the unique love and attention they deserve.
Choosing Hippie Hounds is choosing what’s best for your dog. Here’s why.
We Are a Team of Experts
Unlike many dog grooming businesses, ours is owned by grooming professionals with 21 years of experience, and most members of our team have a minimum of 5 years of experience — half with more than 15 years. As a result, we’ve seen what doesn’t work so we’ve created what does — and we’re really good at what we do!
We prioritize and require continued education and, in turn, funnel skill development across all team members. This includes an online training subscription and annual attendance at Super Zoo in Las Vegas, the pet industry’s largest convention, as well as the Northwest Grooming Show in Tacoma, WA. In fact, we were featured speakers at Super Zoo in 2023!
Our vast experience with all dog breeds, sizes, temperaments, and coat conditions leads to fewer safety incidents and higher quality, more consistent grooming results than those of our competition.

We Prioritize Holistic Health
Did you know that regular grooming offers your dog many health benefits? When done with care, routine trips to the groomer can prevent your dog from contracting certain infections, improve their blood flow, and even be the first indicator of illness or parasites. At Hippie Hounds, we account for grooming’s impact on your dog’s holistic health and think outside the box to create innovative and effective grooming solutions that are gentle on dogs.

At Hippie Hounds, we account for grooming’s impact on your dog’s holistic health and think outside the box to create innovative and effective grooming solutions that are gentle on dogs.
We DO
- Use positive reinforcement training (with homemade treats) and a gentle hands-on approach to ensure your dog’s comfort and safety
- Only use dog-friendly appliances and grooming techniques
- Only use the best, most gentle premium products, almost all of which are completely plant-based
- Work diligently to keep a clean and hazard-free workplace
- Use a clean-air filtration system that helps with allergies
We DON’T
- Use harmful grooming restraints (e.g., belly bands, Groomer’s Helpers) of any kind
- Use kennel dryers or any grooming equipment that’s hazardous or uncomfortable for dogs
- Use any products containing sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and surfactants
We Have All-Inclusive Pricing
Because we prioritize your dog’s holistic health and treat every groom as a unique experience, we use an all-inclusive pricing model to incorporate all the bells and whistles of pampering. This allows us to make our care decisions solely based on your dog’s need for optimal health without charging you for any add-ons after the fact. Instead, our pricing is determined by the length of time and number of hands needed to perform your dog’s groom, with her breed, coat condition, behavior, and size as factors.
We Personalize Our Care
Our services are tailored to every dog breed, size, and coat type as well as to every single dog in our care. We take a customized approach that accounts for your dog’s unique needs and holistic wellness. This could mean varied products and/or services used across grooming visits depending on the length of time between them and all other contributing factors that impact your dog’s coat condition. Every dog is an individual, and we treat them as such.

We Welcome All Dogs
No matter the age, size, breed, temperament, disability, or coat condition, your dog is ALWAYS welcome at Hippie Hounds. We are firmly against grooming discrimination of all kinds and treat every dog that walks through our doors with the same love and committed level of care. Whether you’re seeing us post outdoor adventuring or your dog is overdue for a haircut, we will not judge!!
Cleaning Up the Misconceptions
We hope that every potential Hippie Hounds’ self-wash and professional grooming client knows that:
There’s NO need to be embarrassed to bring in your dog, regardless of the circumstance! Hippie Hounds is a safe, judgment-free space. We are here to educate, not guilt.
Our team of professionals is up for any challenge, from ocean-soaked, sandy fur to matts and muddy paws — and everything in between.
We are well-equipped, in staff and equipment, to groom dogs of ALL sizes, medical conditions, physical disabilities (e.g., dogs in wheelchairs), and behaviors.
Our salon has a 1:1 human-to-dog ratio at all times. Even if your dog needs someone to hold and console them through the entire groom, we’re prepared with the right number of hands for the job. We even dedicate Tuesdays to dogs with special needs and temperaments.
To avoid discrimination in our work environment, we do not honor gender-based grooming requests. However, having such a vast range of experience allows our team to de-escalate and even improve a dog’s gender-based fears through positive, hands-on reinforcement.
We are just a phone call away to talk through any of your concerns about your dog and any hesitations that may be holding you back from bringing them in for a groom. (425) 673-5447
