Sponsored by BRS Backyard Bug Busters ›Oak Ridge's five-star dog spa built for big breeds, beloved by every dog who walks through the door.
Brianna and her team at Danes & Dogs Spa and Lounge have earned something rare in the pet grooming world: a 5.0 rating across 153 reviews from dog owners who are notoriously hard to impress. That kind of trust doesn't come from a fancy sign on Berkshire Valley Road. It comes from groomers who actually slow down, read the dog, and adjust their approach, especially for large and sensitive breeds who've had rough experiences elsewhere.
The spa was built with Great Danes in mind, which means the space, the tables, the tubs, and the temperament of the staff are all scaled to handle dogs that most salons quietly dread. But that same patience and spatial awareness benefits every dog on the schedule, from Mini Goldendoodles to Wheaten Terriers. Clients describe it as a place where their dogs feel comfortable, not just tolerant of the process.
If your dog has had a bad grooming experience before, this is the place to try again. The team here doesn't rush, doesn't cut corners, and doesn't hand your dog back looking like a different animal. They listen to what you want, they take care of your dog like it's their own, and they clean up after themselves too.
Danes & Dogs offers full-service grooming for dogs of all sizes, with particular expertise in large and giant breeds that require extra space, patience, and handling skill. Every appointment includes a bath with professional-grade shampoo and conditioner, blow-dry, brush-out, nail trim, ear cleaning, and a breed-appropriate haircut or trim styled to your preferences.
The lounge environment is calm by design. There's no chaotic kennel noise, no rushed assembly-line grooming. Dogs are handled one at a time with focused attention, which makes a real difference for anxious animals or those who've been reactive at other shops. First-time appointments for nervous dogs are welcomed, not turned away.
Add-on services include teeth brushing, de-shedding treatments for heavy-coat breeds, and specialty conditioning masks for dry or irritated skin. Whether your dog is a regular or coming in for the first time after a difficult experience somewhere else, the goal is the same: they leave looking great and feeling good about the whole thing.

Don't just take our word for it - hear from our satisfied customers
Yes, absolutely. Danes & Dogs was specifically designed with giant breeds in mind. The tubs, tables, and handling approach are all suited to large dogs, and the staff has hands-on experience with Great Danes, Mastiffs, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and similar breeds.
This is actually one of the most common reasons people come to us. Several of our most loyal clients came to us after difficult experiences elsewhere. We take our time, keep the environment calm, and never force a dog through something they're clearly not ready for. Call ahead so we can note it on your appointment.
You can book through the website at danesanddogsspa.com or reach out via the contact form. Appointments are recommended, especially for large breeds, as scheduling is personalized rather than back-to-back.
A full groom includes a bath with professional shampoo and conditioner, blow-dry, thorough brush-out, nail trim, ear cleaning, and a breed-appropriate cut or trim. Add-ons like teeth brushing and de-shedding treatments are also available.
Appointment length depends on breed, coat condition, and size. A smaller dog may take 1.5 to 2 hours, while large and giant breeds can take 3 hours or more. We'll give you an estimated timeframe when you book.
Cleanliness is one of the things clients mention most in reviews. The spa is purpose-built for dogs, maintained meticulously between appointments, and designed to minimize stress with a calm, low-noise environment.
