Scenthound: Redefining Routine Pet Care with Innovative Hygiene Solutions

Scenthound is a distinctive franchise in the pet care industry, specializing in providing essential hygiene services for dogs. Founded in 2010, this innovative brand was established in Boca Raton, Florida. With its headquarters now located in Deerfield Beach, Florida, Scenthound has built a reputation for its comprehensive and routine care offerings tailored specifically to canine hygiene.

The franchise began its franchising journey in 2018, marking its expansion beyond the initial locations. Scenthound offers a unique model in the pet grooming sector by focusing on regular, affordable, and preventive care rather than just one-off grooming services.

Their services include regular washes, ear cleaning, nail trimming, and other essential treatments designed to keep pets healthy and happy.

What sets Scenthound apart from competitors is its emphasis on routine care and education. By promoting a subscription-based model, Scenthound ensures that pets receive consistent grooming, which helps in early detection of potential health issues.
