Scenthound

From Dog Lover to Dog Lover and Business Owner

What began as a mobile grooming business in 2010 has now expanded into brick-and-mortar salons. What most dog owners don't know is that every dog needs basic care like bathing, ear cleaning, nail trimming, and dental care. Currently, there are four locations where we educate dog parents and provide the necessary care to keep dogs clean and healthy. Future goals include 60 additional locations by 2020 and anticipated growth to hundreds of franchises both nationwide and internationally.
