Membership-Based Dog Wellness

Data-Driven Personalized Solutions for Routine Hygiene and Preventive Care

Scenthound was founded with a simple mission – to help people connect with their pets by removing barriers to clean, healthy dogs. As the first wellness-focused, membership-based dog care franchise, Scenthound is disrupting an outdated industry with a shifted focus toward wellness and a blue ocean strategy. We offer an easy and affordable way for dog parents to get the routine care their pups need to stay clean and healthy.

The Scenthound model has unprecedented potential because we took the underserved market – the 90% of dogs that don’t need haircuts – and designed a system to care for their health.

Tim and Jessica Vogel founded Scenthound on a passion for business and a vision of revolutionizing the pet care industry. They are out to change the way people care for their dogs and to promote strong connections between dogs and their humans.

What sets us apart: Membership-Driven

The Scenthound membership-based business model delivers recurring revenue and cultivates fierce customer loyalty. Dog parents choose a membership option that works for their budget and schedule to maintain their dog's health and happiness, and this customer retention framework provides a platform for profitable growth.

Wellness-Centered

Everything we do is rooted in health and wellness for dogs. All the services and products we offer are aimed to address a specific need or preventive care to keep dogs clean and healthy. Following each visit, Scenthound provides every dog parent a six-point evaluation (called a "S.C.E.N.T. Check") that helps keep them informed on their dog's overall health and wellness.

"Scentrally" Located

Scenthound 'Scenters' are conveniently located in errandintensive mixed-use retail areas close to busy big box stores and restaurants. Customers value the convenience of combining errands and checking to-dos off their lists while their dogs are in Scenthound's care. The average service time is 30 minutes, which keeps customers shopping nearby while they wait.

Technology-Focused

Scenthound has a proprietary customer mobile app that delivers personalized solutions for clients based on their dog’s needs. The app is also used for scheduling appointments, mobile payment, account updates, S.C.E.N.T check® wellness tracking and 24/7 access to virtual vet.

Scenthound has also built custom internal operations software to manage business inside all of our “scenters” and to scale the business quickly and efficiently.
