Everything you might want to know before your pup's first visit to The Little Shop of Howls.
The Little Shop of Howls is one of the highest-rated dog groomers in Bartlett, TN — a perfect 5.0 stars across 44+ Google reviews. It's a family-owned, cage-free salon run by master groomer Krystal (and daughter Jenna), known for gentle, breed-specific grooming and treating every dog like their own.
It means social dogs aren't locked in a kennel while they wait. At The Little Shop of Howls, friendly pups free-roam and play together between bathing and grooming, so they come home calmer and happier. Dogs who prefer their own space can still be kept separate — just ask.
Pricing depends on your dog's breed, size, coat condition, and which services you choose (full groom, bath & tidy, de-shedding, and so on). The Little Shop of Howls is known for fair, reasonable pricing and will give you a clear quote. The fastest way to get an exact price is to book online or message the shop with your dog's breed.
Absolutely — it's one of the things clients love most. Krystal is exceptionally patient with senior, nervous, and special-needs dogs and never forces a groom before a dog is ready. Owners regularly mention how gentle she is with sore and sensitive pups, and that she flags any health concerns she spots.
All of them — from tiny toy breeds to big double-coats. We regularly groom poodles, doodles, collies, huskies, Aussies, terriers, Shih Tzus, Maltese and more, including breed-standard cuts that many shops won't attempt.
De-shedding uses specialized bathing and brushing to pull out loose undercoat before it ends up on your couch and clothes. It's perfect for double-coated and heavy shedders. Our clients describe the de-shedding here as "magical."
Yes! We offer fun, artistic creative grooming and pet-safe color for the pups who like to stand out — always done carefully and only with pet-friendly products.
Book online any time on our Square booking page, message us on Instagram @thelittleshopofhowls, or email thelittleshopofhowls@gmail.com. We're open Tue, Wed, Fri & Sat, 9 AM–7 PM.

Social dogs get cage-free, free-roam playtime during their grooming visit instead of being kenneled. For specific daycare availability, just contact the shop and ask about your dog.
We'd love to meet your pup. Book online or send us a message — Krystal and Jenna are happy to help.
