Bearded Collie Dog Clippers & Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Bearded Collie at Home
Grooming your Bearded Collie at home can be rewarding and helps keep their long, flowing coat in top condition. With the right tools and a consistent routine, you can maintain a healthy, tangle-free coat that looks great all year round.
Bearded Collies, often affectionately called “Beardies,” have a thick double coat that can easily become matted if left unattended. Regular brushing and trimming help manage their beautiful fur and reduce shedding around the home. Using quiet, reliable clippers makes the process more comfortable for both you and your dog. Masterclip clippers are designed to glide smoothly through dense coats while staying cool and quiet, making them ideal for grooming this lively, long-coated breed.
How Often Should You Groom a Bearded Collie?
To keep your Bearded Collie’s coat looking its best, we recommend:
• Brushing several times per week to remove tangles and loose hair
• Full clipping or trimming every 6–10 weeks
This schedule helps prevent mats, keeps the coat neat, and reduces the risk of dirt and debris building up in the fur.
Basic Grooming Steps for Bearded Collies
• Start by brushing the coat thoroughly to remove knots and loose undercoat
• Use gentle dog clippers on the body to thin and tidy up heavy areas
• Trim around the paws, ears, and rear end with grooming scissors for a neat finish
• Check and clean around the eyes and muzzle, where food and debris can collect

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I bathe my Bearded Collie?
Every 6–8 weeks is usually enough unless your dog gets especially dirty. Over-bathing can strip natural oils, leading to dry skin and coat.
Can I clip my Bearded Collie’s coat short?
Yes, you can trim it shorter for easier maintenance, especially during summer, but avoid shaving too close to the skin to protect the coat’s natural insulation.
How can I stop my Bearded Collie’s fur from matting?
Regular brushing is key. Use a slicker brush and comb through the undercoat at least a few times a week. Pay special attention to the areas behind the ears, under the belly, and around the legs.
Do Bearded Collies shed a lot?
They shed moderately year-round, with heavier shedding during seasonal changes. Regular grooming helps keep loose fur under control.
