Specialized grooming services for large and giant breed dogs, with equipment and techniques suited for bigger pets.
Find Large Breed Grooming GroomersIf you have a Great Dane, Mastiff, or St. Bernard, you know that grooming isn't as simple as giving them a quick rinse in the tub. Big dogs come with big challenges—lifting, drying, brushing, and managing a whole lot of fur and personality. That's why large breed grooming requires specialized equipment, expert handling, and plenty of experience. Not every groomer can safely or comfortably handle dogs over 100 pounds. It takes the right setup—large tubs, heavy-duty grooming tables, industrial-strength dryers, and plenty of patience. Mobile groomers who specialize in large breeds are equipped for the job, saving you from the back-breaking effort (and soaked bathroom) that often comes with bathing a giant dog at home. The beauty of mobile grooming is that everything happens right in your driveway. No hoisting your 120-pound Newfoundland into the car or trying to convince your Great Pyrenees to walk into a crowded salon. With a mobile grooming van, your pet steps just a few feet from home into a calm, one-on-one environment. For your dog, it means a comfortable, low-stress grooming session with someone experienced in handling their size and temperament. For you, it means no clean-up, no struggle, and the peace of mind that your gentle giant is being cared for by professionals who understand large breed needs—from managing thick coats and shedding to keeping older dogs safe on sturdy, nonslip surfaces.
Large breed grooming takes extra time, care, and the right equipment. Most appointments last between 2 and 3 hours, depending on your dog's breed, coat density, and temperament. When your mobile groomer arrives, they'll set up everything inside their fully equipped grooming van—designed specifically for large and giant dogs. Your dog is gently guided into a large, low-entry tub fitted with nonslip flooring and hydraulic lifts for safe access. The bath uses premium shampoos and conditioners suited for thicker coats or sensitive skin. After thorough rinsing, the groomer uses powerful dryers that cut through dense fur quickly and comfortably. Next comes brushing, trimming (if needed), nail care, and ear cleaning. Large breed groomers are trained to work with nervous or older dogs, adjusting their pace and handling as needed. The process is never rushed—these pros understand that comfort and safety come first. Because large breeds need more time, water, and product, pricing is usually higher than standard grooming. But the results are worth it: a clean, comfortable pet, reduced shedding, and a huge weight lifted off your shoulders—literally and figuratively. In the end, both you and your big dog can relax knowing it was all handled with ease and expertise, right at home.
