Mt Juliet building update: Scenthound dog grooming, Chase, Five Below coming soon

Scenthound, a company that offers monthly care, grooming and hygiene services for dogs, will soon open in Mt. Juliet, its first franchise in Tennessee.

Clark Cummings and his daughter Caroline Linville will operate the franchise, which will be located in a 1,200-square-foot building in the Graves Crossing commercial center at 650 S. Mt. Juliet Road. Linville, 26, is making a career change from registered nurse. Cummings is in banking and will continue with that as well as being involved in Scenthound, which is scheduled to open in mid-November.

The brand’s care focus is on skin, coat, ears, nails and teeth. Scenthound will offer three membership levels that can be renewed monthly and “are packaged in a way to get the basic services your dog needs,” Cummings said.

Level 1 ($39): The dog will get a double bath, nails trimmed, ears cleaned, teeth brushed and a gland check.

Level 2 ($49): Includes all Level 1 services, as well as virtual vet access, in which dog owners to ask questions that may determine whether a veterinarian's care is needed. Also included is a nail grind that can help reduce furniture damage.

Level 3 ($69): Includes all Level 1 and 2 services, with unlimited access beyond once per month if needed.

Additional services such as basic one-length haircuts are also offered separately.

The Scenthound concept is between a veterinarian and a traditional dog groomer, Cummings said.

Scenthound works only with dogs and does not service cats. It is not a kennel.

The Mt. Juliet store plans to start with eight staff members and to partner with a local shelter to increase chances for adoptions and encourage dog owners to keep up hygiene maintenance for their pet's health.
