Dog Grooming Murphy, TX — Premium Pet Groomers for Your Best Friend

Finding a groomer you trust with your dog isn't always easy. Maybe you've had a bad experience before, or maybe you're just tired of the assembly-line approach where your pup is one of twenty dogs crammed into a noisy salon.

At Hound Therapy, we do things differently. Each dog gets individual attention in a calm, one-on-one environment. No cages, no chaos—just skilled grooming tailored to your dog's specific needs.

Why Murphy, TX Pet Owners Choose Hound Therapy

Here's the thing: not all groomers are created equal. Some treat grooming like a race—get the dog in, get the dog out. But that approach doesn't work for every dog, especially if yours is anxious, senior, or just needs a little extra care.

We've built our grooming practice around what actually matters to Murphy pet parents:

One-on-one sessions. Your dog isn't sharing space with a dozen other barking dogs. They get our full attention from start to finish, which makes a massive difference for nervous pups.

Experience with all breeds and temperaments. Whether you've got a high-maintenance Poodle, a thick-coated Husky, or a senior Labrador with arthritis, we've groomed them. Our groomers know how to handle double coats, curly coats, wire coats—you name it. And more importantly, we know how to work with dogs who aren't exactly thrilled about being groomed with bath services.

Clean, safe studio. We're not running some cramped operation where cleanliness is an afterthought. Our studio is sanitized between every appointment, and we use professional-grade equipment that's well-maintained and safe.

Products that actually work. If your dog has sensitive skin, allergies, or a coat that tangles easily, we've got the right products for a premium bath. No cheap, generic shampoos that dry out their skin or leave their coat looking dull.

Complete Pet Grooming Services

We offer everything from complete spa service days to quick maintenance trims. Here's what we do:

Senior Dog Comfort, Safety, and Trust
Total Package
This is the works—bath with premium shampoo, thorough blow-dry, detailed haircut based on breed standards (or your personal preference), nail trimming, ear cleaning, and all the finishing touches to make your dog look sharp. Perfect for dogs who need a complete refresh every 6-8 weeks.
Mini Package / Maintenance
Sometimes your dog doesn't need a full haircut, but they could use a little cleanup. We'll trim around the face, feet, and sanitary areas, plus handle nails and ear cleaning. Great for keeping your pup looking good between full grooms—most of our clients schedule these every 3-4 weeks.
Spa Add-Ons
Want to take things up a notch? We offer de-shedding treatments (seriously helpful if you're tired of vacuuming twice a day), deep conditioning for dry or damaged coats, paw pad care, teeth brushing, and specialty shampoos for specific skin conditions. These aren't gimmicks—they're practical additions that make a real difference in your dog's comfort and coat health.

How Our Process Puts Dogs at Ease

We don't just throw your dog on a table and start clipping. Here's how it actually works:

Quick consultation.

Before we start, we'll talk through what you're looking for—breed-specific cut, personal style preference, any problem areas (matting, hot spots, sensitive ears). We'll also ask about your dog's temperament. Are they nervous? Do they have mobility issues? Have they had bad grooming experiences before? This stuff matters.

Gentle, tailored session.

Some dogs need breaks. Some need extra time getting comfortable with the clippers. Some just want you to talk to them the whole time (yes, really—constant, calm speech works wonders). We adjust our approach based on what your dog needs, not what's most convenient for us.

Final review and care tips.

Before you pick up your pup, we'll do a final check to make sure everything looks right. We'll also give you quick tips for at-home maintenance—how to brush between grooms, what to watch for with ears or nails, that kind of thing.

Benefits of Regular Grooming Spa Service

Look, grooming isn't just about making your dog look cute (though that's a nice bonus). Regular sessions actually prevent a lot of common problems:

Matting and skin issues.

Mats aren't just ugly—they pull on the skin and can cause irritation, hot spots, and even infections. Regular brushing and trimming keeps coats healthy and comfortable.

Nail and paw health.

Overgrown nails can change the way your dog walks, leading to joint problems over time. We keep nails at the right length and check paw pads for cracks or irritation.

Early detection

When we're grooming your dog every few weeks, we notice things. A weird lump that wasn't there before. An ear that's redder than usual. Skin that's drier than it should be. Catching these things early can save you a vet emergency down the road.

Comfort and confidence.

A clean, well-groomed dog is a happier dog. They're more comfortable, they smell better (which means more cuddle time for you), and honestly, most dogs seem to know when they look good.

Pricing & Personalized Recommendations

Pricing depends on your dog's size, coat type, and condition. A well-maintained small dog is obviously going to cost less than a giant breed who hasn't been groomed in months and has a matted coat.

Total Package Pricing:

Small to Medium: $85 – $110
Medium to Large: $110 – $125
Extra Large to Giant: $150
What's included? This is the complete package—haircut tailored to your preference, thorough brushing to work out tangles, relaxing bath, trimmed nails, cleaned ears, gland expression, finishing spray, plus either a bandana or bow to top it off.
Mini Groom / Maintenance: $35 (all sizes) Perfect for keeping your pup looking sharp between full grooms.

Popular Add-Ons:

De-shedding treatments: $15-$30 (based on dog size)
Blueberry facial: $10

Teeth brushing: $10

Fair warning: If your dog's coat is seriously matted or if they need extra time due to anxiety or behavioral challenges, there may be an additional fee. We'll talk through this before we start so you know what to expect.

How often should you groom? Most dogs benefit from a full session every 6-8 weeks. Breeds with hair that keeps growing—Poodles, Doodles, Shih Tzus, Yorkies—usually need attention every 4-6 weeks to stay ahead of mats. We'll tell you what makes sense for your specific dog.

Meet Your Groomers

We're not some corporate chain where you never know who's going to be working on your dog. Our groomers are trained professionals who genuinely care about what they do.

Between us, we've got certifications in breed-specific grooming, experience handling anxious and aggressive dogs (safely, using calm handling techniques—not force), and a real understanding of coat types and breed standards. But more than that, we actually like dogs. We're not just here for a paycheck.

You'll see the same familiar faces when you bring your dog in, which helps build trust—for both you and your pup.

I absolutely love this place. They know the quirks of my Bo (Great Pyrenees) and they love him through it and get the job done right.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a grooming appointment take?
Most full grooms take 2-3 hours, depending on size and coat condition. We don't rush—your dog gets the time they need.
Do you groom puppies?
Yes, and we actually recommend starting young. Getting puppies comfortable with grooming early makes the whole process easier for their entire life. We're extra patient with first-timers.
What if my dog is nervous or aggressive?
We work with anxious dogs regularly. We use calm handling techniques, take breaks when needed, and never force anything. For severely anxious dogs, we can discuss strategies like shorter sessions or mobile grooming where they're in a familiar environment.
Do you require vaccinations?
Yes—we require current rabies, distemper, and bordetella (kennel cough) vaccinations. This protects all the dogs we work with.
Do you offer breed-specific grooming?
Absolutely. Whether you want a traditional Poodle clip, a Schnauzer cut, or a Cocker Spaniel trim, we know breed standards. Or if you prefer a custom style, we can do that too.

Give Your Dog the Grooming Experience They Deserve

Your dog deserves more than a rushed, stressful grooming session in a chaotic salon. They deserve individual attention, skilled care, and a groomer who actually understands their needs.
That's what we do at Hound Therapy. Clean, calm, and cared-for—every single time.
