Bernese Mountain Dog Clippers & Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Bernese Mountain Dog at Home
Grooming your Bernese Mountain Dog at home doesn’t need to be difficult. With the right tools and a bit of patience, you can keep their thick double coat looking healthy, glossy, and free from tangles. Bernese Mountain Dogs have a long, dense coat that sheds seasonally, so regular grooming helps manage loose hair and keeps them comfortable all year round.
Whether you're new to grooming or have done it before, using high-quality, quiet dog clippers can make the process much smoother. Masterclip clippers are designed to be powerful yet gentle, making home grooming easier for both you and your Bernese.
How Often Should You Groom a Bernese Mountain Dog?
We recommend:
• Brushing several times per week to prevent matting and reduce shedding
• Full clipping or trimming every 8–10 weeks to maintain a tidy, manageable coat
This routine helps keep your Bernese’s coat in top condition and prevents tangles from forming behind the ears, under the belly, and around the hindquarters.
Basic Grooming Steps for Bernese Mountain Dogs
• Start by brushing the entire coat to remove knots, dirt, and loose hair
• Use quiet dog clippers to tidy up thicker areas such as the neck, chest, and hind legs
• Trim around the feet, hocks, and ears with grooming scissors for a neat, even look
Regular grooming not only keeps your dog looking great but also gives you a chance to check for skin issues, lumps, or parasites.
Best Dog Clippers for Bernese Mountain Dogs
Bernese Mountain Dogs have a thick double coat made up of a soft undercoat and a longer, protective outer layer. Not all dog clippers are powerful enough to handle this type of coat, so choosing the right model is important.
Masterclip offers high-performance clippers designed to glide through heavy coats smoothly, reducing snagging and overheating during longer grooming sessions.

Bernese Mountain Dog Grooming FAQs
How often should I bathe my Bernese Mountain Dog?
Every 6–8 weeks is usually enough unless they get particularly dirty. Overbathing can strip natural oils from their coat.
Do Bernese Mountain Dogs need to be clipped or just brushed?
Regular brushing is essential, but clipping can help keep them cooler and neater, especially during warmer months or heavy shedding periods.
What type of brush works best for a Bernese Mountain Dog?
A slicker brush and a sturdy metal comb work best for removing loose undercoat and preventing tangles in their long fur.
Can I use human clippers on my Bernese Mountain Dog?
No, human clippers are not designed for thick double coats and can overheat or pull at the fur. Always use professional dog clippers for safe, effective grooming.
