Lakeland has grown faster than almost any community in the Memphis metro over the past decade, and Pet Styles Grooming Salon has been here for all of it. Dog grooming has been our focus since we opened in Bartlett in March 2000, and Lakeland families have been part of our client base from the early days when the area east of Canada Road was still mostly open farmland.
Lakeland's growth has been concentrated in planned residential communities like Windward Slopes, the Gardens of Lakeland, and the subdivisions along the IH-40 corridor east of the Shelby County line. These newer developments tend to have smaller lots than the older Lakeland properties closer to the lake itself, and that has a real effect on how local dogs live and, by extension, what they need from professional dog grooming.
Dogs in Lakeland's newer subdivisions often have limited yard space and spend more time on walks along paved neighborhood paths and sidewalks. That means their nails wear differently, their coats stay cleaner on average, but they also get less natural air circulation than dogs on larger lots with more open space. The result is often a coat that looks fine on the surface but holds heat and moisture underneath, especially on double-coated breeds during Lakeland's humid summers.
Our dog groomer team sees this pattern regularly in Lakeland dogs and adjusts accordingly. The brush-out and blow-dry process for a Lakeland dog from a tighter lot is different than what we do for a dog that runs a half-acre yard. That kind of adjustment does not happen at a grooming shop where every dog gets the same assembly-line process.
Patricia Land has been active in AKC dog shows for over 40 years, and that level of breed-specific knowledge is especially useful in Lakeland, where the range of breeds has diversified as the community has grown. We see everything from standard poodles to Australian shepherds to French bulldogs in a single afternoon from Lakeland addresses alone.
Full service dog grooming for Lakeland pets starts with a skin and coat assessment, because dogs from newer developments and dogs from the older properties near International Harvester Lake do not present the same way. Every appointment includes abath with all-natural products, a breed-appropriate haircut, blow-dry, and style. We handle every breed and size in Lakeland, no exceptions.
Lakeland's summer humidity gets trapped under double coats faster than most owners realize. Our brush-out is a full-layer process, not a surface pass, and we handle de-matting with enough patience to work tangles loose without resorting to cutting unless it is absolutely necessary. Lakeland dogs that get regular brush-outs between groomings stay in better coat condition year-round.
Lakeland has attracted a lot of active breed owners as the community has grown, and those breeds tend to accumulate ear debris faster during outdoor exercise. Ear cleaning is standard with every grooming visit, and teeth brushing is included free. These are not optional extras at Pet Styles.
Lakeland's well-paved neighborhood paths mean many local dogs wear their nails on concrete daily, but usually unevenly. Our canine manicures include nail clipping and filing calibrated to each Lakeland dog's actual wear, keeping nails healthy between visits without cutting too short.
Lakeland pet owners searching for dog grooming near me often end up comparing options in Bartlett, Arlington, or along the IH-40 corridor. Pet Styles stands out because we are family-owned, we have been in business for over 24 years, and our staff does not rotate the way chain salon teams do. Your Lakeland dog sees the same experienced dog groomer visit after visit, and that consistency matters for the animal's comfort and the quality of the results. Multi-pet households can add cat grooming to the same appointment.
We are licensed and insured, and every Lakeland appointment benefits from the 40-plus years of AKC show experience that Patricia Land and our team bring to the table. Dog grooming services at Pet Styles are not about speed. They are about doing the job right for each individual dog.
Our rewards program helps Lakeland families who groom on a regular schedule, earning points toward free groomings, baths, andin-house bakery treats with every visit.
We track each Lakeland dog's coat and skin history between visits, noting how they responded to specific products, whether their coat held moisture in certain seasons, and what style the owner prefers. That record follows the dog from appointment to appointment, so your groomer does not have to start from scratch each time. For a rapidly growing community like Lakeland, where families are still looking for their go-to providers, that kind of continuity is hard to find and easy to appreciate once you have experienced it — the same way many Lakeland clients come to rely on ourpet style and photographysessions and ourpet clothing and accessories shop for the finishing touches.
Pet Styles serves Lakeland along with Bartlett, Arlington, Cordova, Germantown, Collierville, and nearby Fisherville. Our Kirby-Whitten Parkway salon is a short drive from Lakeland via IH-40 West to the Stage Road area. Call (901) 937-5277 to schedule and mention any coat or skin concerns when you book.
Every four to six weeks works well for most Lakeland dogs. Dogs on smaller lots that trap more coat heat and moisture during summer may benefit from the shorter end of that range.
Yes. De-matting is handled carefully for Lakeland dogs, and we will recommend a shorter cut only if a mat is too tight to remove without risking skin damage.
Teeth brushing is included free with every Lakeland grooming visit as part of our standard service.
We groom every breed from Great Danes to Yorkies. Lakeland's growing community brings a wide mix of breeds through our doors, and we are comfortable with all of them.
We do accept walk-ins when there is room in the schedule, but Lakeland clients should call (901) 937-5277 to book ahead for the best availability.
Yes. Boarding and daycare are available at our Bartlett location. Call the salon for current availability and details.
A full skin and coat check before grooming begins, a conversation about your dog's history and your style preferences, and a pickup time assigned based on your dog's specific needs rather than a fixed clock.
Yes. Lakeland clients earn points with every visit toward free groomings, baths, and bakery treats. Ask us to set up your account.
Lakeland's fast growth, newer subdivision layouts, and humid Memphis-area summers create coat and skin conditions that a surface-level grooming approach simply misses. Every Pet Styles appointment for a Lakeland dog begins with a skin and coat assessment, then moves through a bath with all-natural products matched to the dog's condition, a full-layer brush-out to address heat and moisture trapped in dense coats, careful de-matting, teeth brushing, ear cleaning, nail clipping adjusted for sidewalk wear, and a finishing canine manicure.
Pet Styles Grooming Salon has served the Bartlett, Memphis, and Cordova, TN pet community for more than a decade. Our owner is a graduate of the Stateline All-Breed Grooming Academy of Tennessee, and our team brings over 50 years of combined grooming experience to every appointment. We use only all-natural, veterinarian-approved products — including Tropiclean, which we're the only local carrier for — and we never sedate the pets in our care.
