We Make Grooming Effortless
Juggling work, family, and errands already fills your day. Long drives, noisy dryers, and cramped cages shouldn't be part of it — and your pup feels that stress too.
Howling Hounds is a family-owned mobile pet salon serving Manatee and Sarasota Counties. We bring all-inclusive, one-on-one pet grooming to your driveway.
Sky before and after.
Our All-Inclusive Grooms
Each groom includes everything from nose to tail with no add ons and no surprises. We begin with a full wellness check and continue through a double bath with premium shampoos, breed-specific haircuts, nail trims and grinds, ear cleaning, blueberry facial, and a festive bandana for the finishing touch. This flat rate covers every service so you can enjoy worry free complete care for your pup.
WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT
Why Howling Hounds Is Different
We built Howling Hounds because of Molly.
Molly (left) and Hazel (right) are our rescue pups, and they've taught us that every dog is different. Some need a little more patience, a little more understanding, and a little more time to feel safe and comfortable. Loving them reminded us that dogs aren't appointments on a schedule; they're family.
That belief became the foundation of Howling Hounds. We created a grooming experience centered around compassion, patience, and one-on-one care, ensuring every pup receives the same kindness and understanding we'd want for our own.
In fact, Molly still has the final say around here. Every groomer has to pass the Molly test because if they're not good enough for our furry kids, they're not good enough for yours.
Built for Molly, Hazel, and every furry family member we have the privilege to care for.

WHAT YOU PUP ACTUALLY FEELS
Your Pup's Expereince
1
The Van Pulls Up
Most dogs get curious — a sniff at the window, a tail that can't decide yet. No loud waiting room. No other dogs barking. Just a calm van in a familiar driveway.
2
One Groomer. Total Focus.
Most dogs get curious — a sniff at the window, a tail that can't decide yet. No loud waiting room. No other dogs barking. Just a calm van in a familiar driveway.

The Spa Treatment
Double bath, blueberry facial, hydrating coat therapy, hand dry — most dogs melt into the brush by minute three. The Paws & Nose Balm at the end? That's their favorite part.
4
The Walk Back Inside
Clean. Fluffy. Bandana on. And almost always — zoomies. That tail wag on the way back to the door is why we do this.

How does mobile dog grooming work?
So, how does this magical mobile grooming service work? Well, it’s as easy as pie (or dog treats)! You schedule an appointment, and our friendly pet groomer arrives at your location, ready to pamper your pup. We set up our grooming station right outside your door, equipped with everything from shampoo and conditioners to clippers and brushes. Your dog may think they’ve just stepped into a five-star doggy spa! The grooming process typically includes a bath, brushing, nail trim, ear cleaning, and a stylish haircut, all while your pup enjoys the comfort of their own home. CTA:
What should I expect during my dog's grooming Appointment?
During your dog’s grooming appointment, expect a lot of wagging tails and maybe a few happy barks! Our professional groomer will start by assessing your pet’s coat condition and discussing any specific grooming needs. We’ll then bathe your dog with high-quality shampoo, followed by a gentle brushing to remove dead hair and mats. After that, it’s time for the nail trim and ear cleaning, ensuring your furry friend is not just looking good but feeling good too! By the end of the appointment, your dog will look and feel like a million bucks, ready to strut their stuff!
How often should I get my dog groomed?
Now, you might be wondering how often you should groom your dog. Well, it depends on several factors, including your dog’s breed, coat type, and lifestyle. For instance, a fluffy poodle may need grooming every four to six weeks, while a short-haired terrier might only require a grooming session every couple of months. Regular grooming helps maintain a healthy coat and skin, so don’t skimp on those appointments! Your dog will thank you with extra cuddles!
