About the Scenthound:

Forget everything you think you know about grooming. We are a wellness-focused dog care concept — which means that our primary goal is to keep dogs clean and healthy. All dogs need routine care, but the majority of dogs don’t need a haircut, and many don’t need a blow-dry. For this reason, we separate our services into three parts — essentials, blow-outs and haircuts. This allows customers to choose the services that best suit the needs of their dog. It’s our objective, here at Scenthound, to educate as many dog parents as possible on the importance of basic hygiene and routine grooming. We focus on the five core areas that all dogs need care: Skin, Coat, Ears, Nails, Teeth (it's in the name)
