Dog Grooming in Northaven, TN

Dog grooming Northaven owners can trust takes more than a quick wash, especially for dogs that spend their weekends on the trails at Meeman-Shelby Forest. Pet Styles Grooming Salon has groomed Mid-South dogs since March 2000 from Kirby-Whitten Parkway in Bartlett.

The owners have spent more than 40 years in AKC show rings. That eye for coat and structure is what every groomer here learns, whether the dog on the table is a field-bred Lab or a toy poodle.

Tick Checks and Brush-Outs for Northaven Dogs Back From Shelby Forest

Late summer is seed tick season in the river bottoms. A dog that runs the Meeman-Shelby Forest trails can come home carrying a cluster of them, each one barely bigger than a flake of pepper. They hide in armpits, between toes and under ear flaps, right where an owner doesn't think to look.

Our brush-out goes all the way to the skin, and the groomer checks those hiding spots along the way. If we find ticks or irritated skin, we tell you at pickup so you can loop in your vet. A flea and tick bath is on the menu when the season calls for it.

Muddy-Dog Baths Matched to Northaven Skin and Coat

The low ground along the Loosahatchie stays soft for days after a good storm, and a dog that finds it comes home with gray mud baked into the coat. We rinse that out completely before any shampoo goes on. Otherwise you are just scrubbing dirt around.

Then we pick the bath. Hypo-allergenic for sensitive skin, medicated for hot spots, deep conditioning when the coat is dry and brittle from too many swims. The full lineup lives on our natural shampoo and bath page.

Careful De-Matting for Northaven's Doodles and Double Coats

Doodles, Aussies and Goldens all mat in the same places: behind the ears, under the collar and in the britches. A collar that stays on through a wet week makes it worse.

Wet mats tighten, so the de-matting happens before the bath. We work knots out by hand. If a mat sits flat against the skin, we call before shaving and explain why. A comfortable dog beats a long coat. This is the part of dog grooming Northaven owners ask about most, and we would rather over-explain than surprise you at pickup.

Full Service Dog Grooming With the Finishing Work Included

Every dog grooming Northaven visit includes the small jobs that keep a dog comfortable between appointments:

  1. Brushing to the skin, with a tick and skin check
  2. Bath picked for the dog's skin
  3. Teeth brushing with a dog-safe brush
  4. Ear cleaning and a look for redness or odor
  5. Nail clipping, then filing so the edges stay smooth
  6. A finish trim and a fluff dry

Want canine manicures between grooms? Nail trims and filing are available for dogs and cats, and anal gland expression is there on request.

Breed Trims and Creative Color for Northaven Show-Offs

Our groomers trained under people who spent four decades in AKC rings, so breed trims follow the standard unless you want something different. Sometimes you do. Pet-safe creative color is a salon signature: pink ear tips, a blue tail, a stripe for the holidays. Finish the look with a bandana or bow from our pet clothing and accessories shelf.

Professional dog grooming should still look like your dog at pickup. Tell your dog groomer what you like and what you don't. Our main dog grooming page shows the cuts we do most.
