What Health Mutt Is (and Why People Use Us)

Health Mutt is not a traditional pet store or a typical grooming salon.

We’re a full-service pet care space where pet parents can wash their dog, schedule professional grooming, and buy healthy dog food—often in the same visit.

People come to Health Mutt because they want flexibility, real guidance, and a lower-stress experience for their dogs.

Self-Serve Dog Wash (No Appointment Needed)

Health Mutt is well known for our self-serve dog wash.

Our self-wash is designed for people who want a clean dog without bathing at home or committing to a full grooming appointment. The setup includes:

• Raised dog wash tubs

• Warm water and professional-grade shampoo

• Towels and dryers provided

• Walk-in access (no appointment required)

Many customers use our self-serve dog wash regularly—especially after outdoor activities, beach days, or during shedding season.

Professional Dog Grooming Services

In addition to self-wash, Health Mutt offers professional dog grooming services.

Our grooming services include:

• Full grooming appointments

• Baths and haircuts

• Nail trims

• Ear cleaning

• Coat maintenance

Some dogs need professional grooming, while others do better with self-wash. We intentionally offer both options, so pet parents can choose what works best for their dog.

We’re especially popular with dogs who benefit from a calmer, more personal grooming experience rather than a high-volume grooming salon.

A Pet Store Focused on Healthy Dog Food

Health Mutt is also a pet supply store with a strong emphasis on nutrition and wellness.

We specialize in:

• Gently cooked dog food

• Raw and frozen dog food

• Freeze-dried options

• Treats and supplements

Many customers come to Health Mutt looking for alternatives to traditional kibble or subscription-based fresh food. Others shop for food while they’re here for grooming or self-wash, making it easy to take care of multiple pet needs in one visit.

Fresh Dog Food Without a Subscription

Many people find Health Mutt after using fresh food brands like Ollie or The Farmer’s Dog.

If you like the idea of gently cooked dog food but don’t want a subscription, Health Mutt offers fresh and gently cooked options you can buy locally—without committing to auto-ship deliveries.

We help pet parents:

• Transition from subscription food to other fresh or gently cooked options

• Mix gently cooked food with kibble, freeze-dried, or raw food

• Adjust portions for sensitive stomachs or picky eaters

You don’t have to switch everything at once. We’re happy to help you figure out what works best for your dog.

Try New Food With Less Risk

Switching dog food can feel stressful, especially if your dog has a sensitive stomach or you’ve invested in subscription food before.

That’s why Health Mutt offers a money-back guarantee on all consumable products.

If a food or treat doesn’t work for your dog, we’ll help you exchange it or refund it. This allows pet parents to try new food options with confidence and without pressure.

Loyalty Rewards on Almost All Dog Food

Health Mutt also offers a loyalty program on most dog food brands.

Many food brands participate in programs like:

• Buy 12 bags, get one free

• Brand-specific rewards and discounts

This makes feeding high-quality dog food more affordable over time, especially for dogs who eat fresh, frozen, or premium diets.

Why Health Mutt Is Different From a Grooming Salon

Health Mutt is a good fit for dogs and people who want:

• A self-serve dog wash instead of a forced appointment

• Professional grooming without a rushed salon environment

• One place for grooming, washing, and food

• A lower-stress, more flexible experience

Some dogs come only for grooming.

Some come only for self-wash.

Many do both.

That flexibility is intentional.

One Place to Wash, Groom, and Feed Your Dog

Health Mutt exists for pet parents who don’t want to bounce between a grooming salon, a pet store, and home bath time.

You can:

• Wash your dog yourself

• Schedule professional grooming

• Shop for healthy food

• Get real guidance from people who care

We’re proud to be a pet store with grooming and self-serve dog wash, designed to make dog care easier and less stressful.
