Basset Fauve de Bretagne Dog Clippers & Grooming Kits
How to Groom Your Basset Fauve de Bretagne at Home
Grooming your Basset Fauve de Bretagne at home is straightforward with the right tools and a little know-how. These dogs have a dense, wiry coat that is easy to maintain but benefits from regular attention to keep it healthy, neat, and free from tangles. Their coat is shorter than many breeds but can develop mats around the ears, neck, and legs if neglected.
Using quality, easy-to-handle clippers can make grooming faster and more comfortable for both you and your dog. Masterclip clippers are quiet and reliable, making them a great choice for home grooming sessions.
How Often Should You Groom a Basset Fauve de Bretagne?
To keep your dog looking and feeling their best, we recommend:
- Brushing their coat 2–3 times per week
- Full grooming or clipping every 8–10 weeks
Regular grooming helps prevent mats, keeps the coat soft, and supports healthy skin.

- Brush the coat thoroughly to remove loose hairs and any small tangles
