Finding Mold that Others Can’t
At the Mold Hound Co, our mission is to uncover hidden health threats using the most reliable and unbiased tool — a well-trained dog’s nose.
After years of “mystery” illness with our kids, we had the Mold Hound Co sniff out what was really keeping us sick. - Patti McRae
Are you experiencing mold toxicity in your own home?
Mold is no joke. It can cause an array of symptoms most people pass off for unexplained health issues, turning your everyday life into battle. Over 80% of homes in America have some sort of mold growth! If you have been struggling with feeling your best, but you’re doing everything right, toxic mold in your home could be the culprit.

Are you tired of being told you are crazy?
Most people brush off mold as a non threat, something that is there and its toxicity is just conspiracy. Doctors, family and friends are tuning you out because you have had headaches for so long now. Your kids always have runny noses and everyone thinks they are contagious, but no one seems to get sick when they are around them. We understand. Having battled mold issues in our own family and not knowing until we changed environments, the threat is real. Over 24% of people suffer from sensitivity to mold. This is why typically 1 person of a family of 4 tend to experience asthma, sinus issues, lingering headaches and brain fog in their home.
Most inspectors and assessors miss mold if it isn’t easily seen or accessed. If they don’t find it and your symptoms persist, it makes you feel crazy.
We are here to help. With our certified mold dog Cash, we can bring certainty to your suspicions of mold growth in your home. This will allow you to finally make a clear decision on your next steps.

Why The Hound?
Superior Scent Detection
A trained dog’s nose can detect mold at parts per trillion — far beyond the sensitivity moisture meters alone. That means dogs can often smell mold growing behind walls, under floors, or in insulation long before it becomes visible or testable by standard equipment.
Pinpoint Accuracy
Instead of air testing an entire room or drilling multiple holes, a mold dog can walk in and target the exact area of concern, including furniture, reducing guesswork and invasive sampling.
Non-Invasive
Dogs detect mold by scent — no cutting, no damage, no air disruption. This makes it ideal for sensitive environments, especially homes with young children or health concerns.
Unbiased Detection
Dogs don’t exaggerate results or “read the room.” Their response is purely based on scent — making them a reliable and unbiased tool. No hard sales, no human error.
Why Not Humans?
Conflict of Interest
Remediation companies profit from finding mold. The more they find, the more they earn — which can lead to exaggerated reports or unnecessary repairs. Our pricing is based on a service performed without any tricky sales tactics.
Free Assessments
An assessment should be objective and data-driven. Companies that offer free testing have a built-in incentive to push you toward remediation, even when it may not be necessary.
Reliance on Tools
Most remediation teams rely on visual inspection and moisture meters alone. They often miss localized and unlikely areas that a mold detection dog would uncover with far greater precision.
Reduced Credibility in Real Estate Transactions
If you're buying or selling a home, third-party assessments from independent testers — like The Mold Hound Co. — are seen as far more credible and trustworthy than contractor-sourced reports.
