Basics of Routine Hygiene

  • Skin

    Skin is an indicator of overall health. Excessive scratching, chewing, and licking can be a sign of underlying health problems such as parasites, infections, allergies, metabolic problems, or stress.

  • Coat

    Mats can be super painful! Not only can skin get pulled up into a mat, which causes pinching and pain, but mats can also suffocate the skin underneath leading to other issues and further discomfort.

  • Ears

    Canine ear infections are most often due to an overgrowth of bacteria or yeast. Infections can be extremely painful and are often preventable.

  • Nails

    Long nails can break which is painful and sometimes results in infection. Long nails can also cause joint stress and can lead to joint pain, arthritis, and even skeletal damage!

  • Teeth

    Most dogs have periodontal disease by age two. In addition to bad breath, painful inflammation, and eventual tooth loss, periodontal disease can lead to serious health issues. But it’s preventable!

  • Glands

    Heinie-dragging is an indicator that a dog’s anal sacs are full which is not only irritating but can lead to infection. Regular expression of the glands can alleviate pressure and help prevent them from getting impacted.

  • No. Many dog parents start with a trial visit simply to see how their dog responds. If the experience is a good fit, our membership plans help make routine care convenient and consistent over time.

  • No. Scenthound focuses on routine hygiene and wellness care, not styling. Our services are designed to maintain the essential areas that affect your dog’s comfort and health between vet visits, including skin, coat, ears, nails, and teeth.

  • Most dogs benefit from hygiene visits about once a month. Skin, ears, nails, and teeth can change quickly between vet visits, so routine care helps maintain comfort and catch potential concerns early.

  • A trial visit is a first-time appointment designed to introduce you and your dog to Scenthound’s routine wellness care. It includes a hygiene service plus our signature S.C.E.N.T. Check, which evaluates skin, coat, ears, nails, and teeth so you leave with a clear understanding of your dog’s current hygiene and wellness needs.

  • Your dog receives essential hygiene care including a bath, ear cleaning, nail trimming, and teeth brushing, followed by a towel-dry. During the visit, our team also completes a S.C.E.N.T. Check to assess skin, coat, ears, nails, and teeth. Afterward, we review the results with you and recommend a routine care plan tailored to your dog.

  • A S.C.E.N.T. Check is a quick wellness assessment performed during every visit. It evaluates six areas, skin, coat, ears, nails, teeth and glands, across 30+ key indicators of hygiene and comfort. This helps identify potential concerns early and gives dog parents a clear snapshot of their dog’s hygiene health.
