What Full Service Dog Grooming Looks Like at Pet Styles
Pet Styles Grooming Salon has provided dog grooming to families across Memphis and the surrounding mid-south for 24 years, working out of our salon just off Kirby-Whitten Parkway in neighboring Bartlett. Whether your dog lives near Overton Park, the Poplar Avenue corridor, or out toward Shelby Farms, our approach to professional dog grooming stays the same: know the dog, know the coat, and never rush the work.
Dog grooming services here start with an honest look at the coat and skin before anything else happens. Memphis summers run hot and humid, which pushes a lot of local dogs toward matting faster than owners expect, especially double-coated breeds that struggle to shed properly in thick air. Our dog groomers check for early tangles, skin irritation, and any signs of flea or tick exposure before moving into the bath with an all-natural shampoo matched to the coat in front of us.
We have noticed over the years that dogs coming from the Wolf River bottoms and greenway trails near Shelby Farms tend to pick up burrs and debris that regular home brushing does not fully clear. That is one reason full-service dog grooming matters more here than in drier climates; the coat genuinely needs more frequent attention to stay healthy.
Featured Dog Grooming Services for Memphis Pets
Brush-Out and De-Matting for Humid Memphis Coats
A thorough brush-out is included with every visit, working through the undercoat in sections rather than skimming the surface. For dogs that have gone too long between appointments, de-matting is handled slowly and carefully, since pulling too fast on a mat close to the skin causes real pain.
Teeth Brushing Included With Every Grooming Appointment
Teeth brushing is part of the standard visit, not an upsell. Dental issues in dogs often go unnoticed until they are advanced, and a regular brushing habit during grooming helps catch buildup early — then send your pup home with something from the doggie bakery treats counter.
Ear Cleaning for Memphis Dogs Prone to Humidity-Related Irritation
Floppy-eared breeds in particular struggle with trapped moisture in a climate like ours, and our ear cleaning process is built to reduce that risk visit after visit.
Canine Manicures With Careful Nail Clipping
Overgrown nails change how a dog stands and walks over time. Our canine manicures are done at a pace that respects nervous dogs, working around the quick with steady hands rather than rushing through it.
Why Memphis Families Choose Pet Styles for Dog Grooming
Patricia Land and our team bring more than 40 years of combined experience around AKC show rings into every appointment, which shows up in the small details: how a coat is finished, how a nervous dog is handled, and how consistent the results look from visit to visit. We are licensed and insured, and we treat every breed the same, whether it is a Great Dane that barely fits on the table or a Yorkie that sits calmly in a lap. Multi-pet households can book cat grooming on the same trip.
Plenty of shops will come up when someone searches dog grooming near me across the Memphis area, but few have been doing this specific work as long as we have. Twenty-four years of trial and error, paired with decades of hands-on show ring experience, means fewer surprises for pets who come back appointment after appointment.
What Sets Our Approach Apart for Memphis Dogs
Consistency is the biggest thing Memphis pet owners tell us they value. We keep detailed notes on coat type, skin sensitivities, and behavior for every dog, so a return visit means picking up exactly where we left off instead of starting over — including which veterinarian-approved shampoos and conditioners suited the coat last time. That matters even more for owners searching for dog grooming near me who have been burned before by shops with high staff turnover and no continuity between visits. When a cut turns out especially well, book a pet photography session to keep a record of it.
Serving Memphis and the Surrounding Communities
Pet Styles serves dog owners throughout Memphis, along with Bartlett, Cordova, Arlington, Germantown, and Millington. Our Kirby-Whitten Parkway location sits within easy reach of most Memphis neighborhoods, whether you are coming from Midtown near Union Avenue or the eastern edges of the city closer to Germantown Road. Book a grooming appointment and we will match the visit to your dog's coat and temperament.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Grooming in Memphis
Most dogs in the Memphis area do well every four to six weeks, though thick-coated breeds may need more frequent visits during the humid summer months.
Yes, and we always assess the severity first. Severe matting in Memphis dogs sometimes calls for a shorter cut rather than forcing a brush through months of buildup.
It is. Teeth brushing is part of our standard service for every dog we see in the Memphis area, not an optional add-on.
First visits usually run a bit slower as we get to know your dog's temperament, particularly around nail clipping and ear cleaning.
We recommend calling ahead, though we do accept walk-ins for Memphis clients when space allows in the schedule.
Humidity keeps coats damp longer after outdoor time, which speeds up matting, especially in double-coated breeds common around Memphis neighborhoods.
Yes. For our senior dogs we will slow the pace and activities as needed and take breaks as needed. We do not run on a schedule.
We are licensed and insured and take that responsibility seriously, and we will address any concerns directly with Memphis clients after an appointment as we stand behind our work.
