We are a new concept in the $75M pet industry being the first wellness-focused membership-model grooming franchise. While most groomers focus on cuts, we focus on an traditionally underserved market: the 80% of dogs that don’t need stylized haircuts—instead focusing on a routine care schedule in five core areas of maintenance: Skin, Coat, Ears, Nails and Teeth.

Welcome to the First Wellness-Focused, Membership-Based Dog Grooming Franchise!

In an industry that primarily pays attention to haircuts, Scenthound is breaking down barriers to overall dog wellness, in a supportive and compassionate atmosphere, to provide the best possible service to our clients, and their humans. Scenthound has created a concept that customers can rely on for all their routine dog care needs—basic cuts, skin, coat, ears, nails and teeth.

U.S. Pet Consumers spend $75M annual on their loved ones including the 90M dogs—it is a large business. We provide a lower-cost, membership model and resistant to technological changes (Amazon is not replacing pet services) or economic downturns (we still spend money on our pets).

Why Choose Scenthound?

Scenthound is unique in the dog grooming industry focusing on the overall health of the dogs.

Scenthound has unprecedented market potential because it serves an historically underserved market: the 80% of dogs that don’t need stylized haircuts. That said, our services are designed to improve the health and longevity of ALL dogs through a routine care schedule in five core areas of maintenance: Skin, Coat, Ears, Nails and Teeth.

The low cost but high profit membership-based recurring revenue model is amplified with "as-needed" add on services—nail grinding, barber-style haircuts, facial scrubs, etc.—& products to maintain health between visits.

We’re Passionate About Pups

We started this business because we honestly care about every dog we meet. We know that dogs are happiest when they’re clean and healthy, and we know, from experience in the industry, that dogs don’t always get the basic care they need. We saw an opportunity to change that and we jumped on it.

We are an emerging, ground floor brand though with proof of concept through our 4 company owned units. We also show a strong Item 19. Earnings claim in our FDD. In our core states of: FL, GA, SC, NC, TN and TX we are seeking single unit as well as multi-unit franchises. Outside of our core states we are seeking franchisees interested in developing multi-unit operations (minimum of 3 locations).

Scenthound is a hands-on company, and we’re looking for franchisees who share that spirit. We provide extensive training in one of our Jupiter, Florida, locations, teaching franchisees how to best care for our fluffy customers.

We also provide comprehensive ongoing support on everything from employee training to locating and attending community events. We’re one big pack, after all, and we want each of our franchisees to have the best opportunity to be a positive force in the lives of dogs and their humans.
