Hello friends! It is shaping up to be one whopper of a busy summer. Please do your best to schedule your dog's boarding as soon as you can for any dates you might have June through August. If your dates change, or you need to cancel it's not an issue, we just want to be sure that you get a spot if you need one. There is not (and never will be) a cancellation fee. I'm incredibly grateful that we've had such an enormous bounce back post-2020. Thanks for all your support and for trusting us with your dogs!

You can schedule at the link below or text or call us at 512-989-6767.

Quick Reminder!

We are closed on Monday, May 30th (Memorial Day) for daycare and all boarding drop offs and pick ups.

We are still fully staffed and the dogs are still in play groups during the day.

Thanks!

Quick update on the two dogs that were abandoned here. They both seem to be doing really well in their new homes and are settling in. Thanks again to all of you for your help and for signal boosting the original post!

04/28/2022

EDIT: That was quick! Both dogs are trying out potential new homes tonight. I’ll keep you all updated and we appreciate all of you so much. Thanks for all the kind words and support!!!!!

———————-

The short version: These two dogs (Mazzy & Toto) have been abandoned here at Hip Hounds and they need homes.

The long version: They began boarding on February 14th and after repeated conversations and promises to pick them up, the owners have gone MIA. The last time I spoke with them was on April 9th, when I was assured the dogs would be picked up on April 15th. Since then, every effort to contact them has gone unanswered. They won't respond to texts, emails, voice mails or phone calls. It sucks. Setting aside my anger over their refusal to even communicate, the bigger issue is that, long term, Hip Hounds is not a place for a dog to live. Toto (the Yorkie) is a good sport but he's also 12 years old and has had enough of this place. Same goes for Mazzy (the pit mix) who is 2. It's not necessary that they stay together, but we are committed to finding them both good homes.

If you're interested, please reach out to me directly. My personal cell phone is 512-466-7108 and my email is [email protected]

If you have any concerns over the legality of adopting these dogs or that the owners will try to come and take them back, please talk to me first. We've (unfortunately) dealt with this before and, due to our waiver, it's pretty cut and dry.

If, by chance, you recognize these dogs and know the owners (their last name starts with "H"), please urge them to contact us.

I'm not trying to "out" anyone or publicly shame them but I think it's important that anyone who might adopt these dogs know the full story.

Please feel free to share this post far and wide!

Thanks!

Just a gentle reminder that we're a month away from a boarding price increase. Our daycare rates will remain the same for (at the very least) the rest of 2022.

Thank you!

I’ve sat here for a solid five minutes trying to compose a caption for these pictures. The first one…..I mean……..who am I to tell Ziggy not to do that? Look how at peace he is!

This is Harper, once again displaying the ENTIRE reason I got onesies printed. Congrats to Kelley, Will (and Bruno) !

Somehow, it’s almost 80 degrees!

03/01/2022

Per CDC guidelines we are no longer requiring that masks be worn in the lobby. Thanks to all of you for being accommodating through all of this. My aim has always been to simply be as safe as we reasonably can. Thank you again!

Quick update on our upcoming (May 1st) boarding price increase.

I'm sure lots of you are planning summer trips as well as holiday travel. I know this seems early for a Thanksgiving/Christmas post but bear with me.

If you'd like to save some money on boarding, consider buying a boarding pass prior to May 1st. The price difference between buying a boarding pass right now vs paying for boarding at the upcoming nightly rate is pretty considerable.

Remember that passes never expire, are transferrable to another pet or owner and are refundable for the days remaining at any time.

Hope this helps and thank you all, again, for trusting us with your dogs and sticking with us.

As always, you can call, text or email us with any questions.

Thanks!

Margo is THRILLED that the sun is out! Everyone have a great weekend!

We are raising our boarding rates effective May 1st. Our daycare rates will stay the same for the remainder of 2022.

Any dates already booked (even if they are beyond May 1st) will be charged the current rate. Any dates booked after February 1st for May 1st and beyond will be charged the new rate. I hope that makes sense. We're always happy to provide an exact quote for your dog's stay.

Even after this increase, our prices remain very competitive and in line with what other facilities who offer comparable services are charging.

I know that you have a lot of options when it comes to dog boarding and daycare and I truly appreciate that you trust us with your dogs and choose to spend your money here.

If you have questions, concerns or complaints please don't hesitate to let me know!

Happy Friday!

I just have NO idea what to caption this.

UPDATE: This offer has been claimed. We now have a LOT of cookies.

VERY IMPORTANT

Is your child selling Girl Scout Cookies? Then SEND THEM OUR WAY. I have a $100 dollar bill at the front desk and plan on spending it all on cookies.

100% serious because we don't joke about Girl Scout Cookies at Hip Hounds.

Seriously, though we really will buy $100 worth of cookies from your Girl Scout.

Hello friends. We've had a few calls/questions over the last week about boarding overnight when it's this cold. We have full HVAC (central heat and air) throughout our entire 6000 square foot warehouse. ALL overnight boarding is ALWAYS inside, so everyone is warm and completely out of the elements. As always, I'm happy to answer any questions, just wanted to clear that up. Thanks and have a great weekend!

Brooks!

Rooney & Pablo.

Super lazy wrestling is my favorite thing. Rooney and Pablo!

Looking forward to more of this. We re-open this Friday, May 8th for daycare and boarding!

Pablo's Costume Episode 4.

Episdoe 4. Shot & edited entirely by Lily. Enjoy!

Sorry we've been a little quiet. Being closed is SUPER BORING so I've been doing some repairs and just generally making an enormous mess (see video). Unless the orders from Travis County change we will be re-opening on May 8th! We're really looking forward to seeing you all again!

Pablo's Costume, Episode 3. Once again, shot, edited and produced completely by Lily. Enjoy!

Lily and Lucy

While I promise not to hold you all hostage showing you home videos, this one was too good not to share. It's almost two year old Lily and our dog Lucy who was, easily, the greatest dog ever. Enjoy. Have a great weekend and wash your hands!

Pablo's Costume Episode 2

Lily picks costumes for Pablo to try on. Pablo eats treats. Created, shot and edited by Lily!

Pablo's Costumes Episode 1

Lily picks out costumes for Pablo. Michael guest hosts and is horrified by how he looks on camera. Pablo is fed a steady stream of treats and is tolerant of the nonsense. Shot and edited by Lily.

Pincher demonstrates what to do when you’ve just had enough.....

I’d like to point out that during the 10 minutes this time lapse took to make, Oliver and Cleo don’t move an inch. See if you can spot them!

Five minutes with the little dogs......

Digit tries very hard to catch all of the water before it hits the pool.

Here’s Bruiser casually showing us his second position ballet moves. His tutu is in great shape for this years upcoming winter show. Be sure to get your tickets

Kasey very deep in her own thoughts.

Kasey, trying his best to catch all the flies. You can do it Kasey!

I want to be sure everyone fully appreciates Elvis’s fur in this video....

Isley is trying to recruit more pool buddies. Stay cool everyone!

I feel like the Maury camera man trying to record these two wrestling. Happy Wrestlemania Monday from Brutus and Hydra!

Duncan is all of us this summer. Everyone have a safe Memorial Day weekend!

It took a full 20 minutes to coax Khal into the pool. After he finally got in, he used his full 120+ pounds to keep everyone else out! Have a great weekend!!!!!

Hydra is OUT. Be sure your sound is on for the full experience.

Not quite sure what's happening here.......

I absolutely love how great my dogs are taken care of while we rent our house as an Air BandB! Thank you for helping us!

Just wanted to share a photo of Crockett celebrating Pride Month. Since I discovered non-toxic markers for dogs, the entertainment value of both dogs has risen pretty high here. :D Expect Crockett to have interesting eyebrows or other body-art when he stays with you next month.

So about to drop my 3.5 month-old puppy off tomorrow and having a little anxiety. He's only 5 lbs and I had tried a 2-hour day care once and the bigger dog trampled on him, so he was in the caregiver's arms the whole time. Does anyone have any 5lb puppy and do they do well at Hip Hounds?

Mercury was nearly asleep in my lap before we even got halfway home from his first day!

The evenings after Jax has been at Hip Hounds for day care are the best! He is sacked out in the chair next me instead of hounding me for attention. We both love Hip Hounds!

Town Hall is now preparing Welcome Kits for new families that are moving into our community. These new families are looking for a new EVERYTHING! Town Hall contacts these new families each week as soon as they move into their new home. These new families will find new places to eat, work out, wash their car......they need a new Hair Salon, Auto Repair Shop, Dry Cleaner, Pet Groomer, Day Care Facility, Florist, Nail Salon, Pharmacy......you get the idea. They are actively seeking new local businesses and creating new purchasing patterns. They will become someone's next new local, loyal customer. Town Hall can direct them to you before your competition even knows they are here. Since our Welcome Kits are exclusive, and we can only accommodate one business per category, I would ask you to kindly let me know if you are interested in being featured in our local Welcome Kits. I would like to schedule a time when you are expecting me so that I may drop off a sample of our "Welcome Kit" and explain the program in greater detail. Please reply with your availability or call me at your earliest convenience. For a faster response, or if you prefer, feel free to text me on my cell which is listed in my signature. Thanks.

Thank you so much for taking such great care of my granddogs!!! Riley is having a blast! Harley is going to sleep for two days straight when he gets home. lol

Elvis is pooped after a day at Hip Hounds. Thanks!

How is my Crockett-Puppy doing? I miss him. I broke my back on Feb. 21st and haven't been able to get down on the floor to play with and wrestle him. It's killing me and he's obviously super rambunctious. Please do your best to exhaust him!

Michael, Daniel....new business venture? 🤣🤣🐶🚌
