Dropped my dogs off and was told an hour for each, I didn’t even make it home they called 15 minutes later saying they were done. I don’t understand how that’s possible. Well the dogs ears didn’t look clean neither did their teeth. I paid $80 for two short baths and nail trimming. Never going back waste of money.

Wonderful grooming and care! Chupa looked great after the visit. The girl did everything very well, carefully and professionally. Most importantly — they finally got his teeth cleaned up and in good condition. Very happy with the service, thank you so much! 🐶✨

Highly highly recommend! Excellent care and follow-up! I know our dogs are well cared for because they don’t get scared when we take them back. I love the follow up emails, it really is a useful health check-up! Abby is fantastic! She manages the shop well!!

We recently joined Scenthound and signed up for the membership. We’ve been enjoying the service so far. They do a really good job in a very reasonable time frame and I love how they do the SCENT checks and provide feedback on how to help our dog at home. The staff is very nice, friendly, and helpful. We've been loving the experience so far!

So great! Friendly, fast, easy to book appointments. My dog's so fluffy and clean when we leave. Perfect place for pups whose coats don't need a ton of grooming. We're able to get the "basics" done at a reasonable price.
