Belgian Shepherd Dog Clippers & Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Belgian Shepherd at Home
Grooming your Belgian Shepherd at home can be a rewarding experience that keeps their coat in top condition and helps maintain their striking appearance. Belgian Shepherds have a dense double coat that needs regular care to remove loose fur, prevent matting, and control shedding throughout the year.
With the right tools and a consistent grooming routine, you can easily manage their coat and keep them looking their best. Masterclip clippers are designed to be quiet and comfortable to handle, making grooming easier for both you and your dog.
How Often Should You Groom a Belgian Shepherd?
We recommend:
• Brushing at least two to three times per week
• Full coat trimming or de-shedding every 8–10 weeks
This helps remove dead undercoat, reduces shedding, and keeps their coat healthy and shiny. During shedding season (usually spring and autumn), more frequent brushing may be needed to keep up with the extra loose hair.
Basic Grooming Steps for Belgian Shepherds
• Start by brushing the entire coat to remove tangles and dead fur
• Use quiet, high-quality dog clippers or a de-shedding tool on the body and chest
• Trim around the paws, hocks, and ears with grooming scissors for a neat finish
• Check for mats behind the ears and under the tail, as these areas tend to trap fur
Tip: Always work in sections and reward your dog to keep grooming stress-free.
Best Dog Clippers for Belgian Shepherds

Belgian Shepherd Grooming FAQs
How often should I bathe my Belgian Shepherd?
Every 8–10 weeks is usually enough unless your dog gets particularly dirty. Over-bathing can strip natural oils from the coat.
Can I clip my Belgian Shepherd’s coat short?
It’s best not to clip too short. The double coat helps regulate temperature, so instead of shaving, focus on regular brushing and trimming to manage shedding.
How do I deal with heavy shedding?
Use a de-shedding tool or undercoat rake during seasonal moulting periods. Regular brushing will keep shedding under control and prevent matting.
What areas need the most attention when grooming?
Pay special attention to behind the ears, under the tail, and around the legs, where tangles and mats often form.
