Scenthound

Scenthound in Oviedo is a cut above the typical dog-grooming salon. At Scenthound, the caring team doesn’t just make your pup look good – they help ensure that your dog is in good health, too.
Scenthound offers wellness-focused, membership-based routine dog care to keep our furry friends clean, comfortable, and healthy. The Oviedo location, at 1121 Alafaya Trail, opened in March and is already receiving pawsitive reviews from dog parents.
Roberto Lee, Scenthound Orlando CEO, compares the importance of preventive dog care to regular car maintenance. His own pup, a Lhasapoo, is a devoted Scenthound client.
“Our goal is to maintain your dog just like your car, and we do that in a cost-effective way,” Roberto says. “You won’t be spending heavy dollars with the veterinarian if you’re taking care of your dog consistently and routinely.”
To understand what Scenthound is about, simply look at its name. The “Scent” in Scenthound stands for the key areas that knowledgeable staff members address when caring for each pup: S=Skin, C=Coat, E=Ears, N=Nails, and T=Teeth.
“All of these components are vital to a dog’s health, and if not taken care of and maintained to an optimum level, will cause future health issues,” says Roberto.
That means the Scent Techs (Scenthound’s groomers) do much more than bathe dogs and trim their hair when needed. Rather, they check each canine from head to tail looking for potential problems such as skin irritations, ear infections, and plaque buildup on teeth.
That attention to detail enables Scent Techs to educate dog parents and make informed recommendations about treatment options for the pups. At every visit, customers receive a S.C.E.N.T. Check report card tracking their dog’s external wellness status.
“We have a very systematic approach,” says Roberto. “We’re going to look at your whole dog, but you only pay for what you need.”
Scenthound is offering a $39 trial of its basic hygiene package, which includes bathing, ear cleaning, nail clipping, and teeth brushing. Beyond that, its Monthly Care Club offers three membership levels that come with a range of valuable benefits.
