Big Dogs Deserve Big Care

Grooming Big Breeds Takes Real Skill
There's a reason a lot of salons push large dogs to the back of the schedule. Big breeds take strength, patience, and know-how that only comes with years on the table.
Shirl is a Nationally Certified Master Groomer through the National Dog Groomers Association of America, and she's spent decades learning to work with a wide range of coat types and each breed's special needs, not just the easy ones.
We specialize in large dogs, and every grooming session gets our full focus, whether your furry friend is a heavy shedder, a breed with a dense curly coat, or a gentle giant who just needs someone confident and patient handling them.
Doodles & Poodles
Curly, dense coat types need regular grooming to help prevent matting and keep the coat healthy. Painful matting can be uncomfortable for your dog, so we work carefully and take our time.
Double-Coated Breeds
Huskies, Shepherds, Goldens, and other heavy shedders get thorough brushing and de-shedding attention, which is better for your dog's skin and coat.
Large & Giant Breeds
From Boxers to Great Danes and Mastiffs, we have the space, equipment, and experience to keep big dogs supported and relaxed through their whole visit.
Senior Large Dogs
Older big dogs can be stiff or sore, and we take that seriously. We give special attention and adjust our approach for dogs with special needs or mobility concerns.
A Calm, Patient Approach
Every dog is treated as an individual here, not rushed through. With minimal time spent in a kennel, your dog gets a little help settling in, socializing, and relaxing before their turn on the table. That calm, unhurried atmosphere makes a real difference for large dogs, especially ones who've felt overwhelmed at a busier salon before. Our goal is simple: your dog leaves comfortable, healthy, and looking great, so the next visit is even easier.
What's Included in a Large Dog Grooming Session
A full groom for a large dog at Classi K-9 Clips typically includes:
- Bath & Shampoo: A thorough washing with quality shampoo and conditioners suited to your dog's skin and coat.
- Brushing & De-Matting: Careful brushing to work through the coat and help prevent matting before it becomes painful.
- Haircut & Trim: A breed-appropriate cut tailored to your dog's size and coat type.
- Nail Trimming: Trimmed nails, along with a look over the nose, tail, ears, feet, and face.
- Ear Cleaning: A gentle ear cleaning to help guard against ear infections.
- Teeth Attention: Optional care for your dog's teeth. Ask us about add-on options when you book.
Because we spend real, unhurried time with your dog, we're often among the first to notice something worth a heads-up, like a lump, a skin problem, or other small details you'll want to keep an eye on. We're happy to share what we notice so you can follow up with your vet if needed.
Why Regular Grooming Matters
Regular grooming isn't just about haircuts. It plays a real role in your dog's overall health, safety, and comfort. Staying on a consistent grooming schedule helps prevent matting, supports healthy skin and coat, and makes each visit easier on your dog.
We're also happy to talk through vaccination requirements, frequency, and anything else you'd like to know when you reach out to schedule.
