Bloodhound Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Bloodhound at Home
Grooming your Bloodhound at home can be straightforward with the right tools and a little know-how. Bloodhounds have short but loose skin and a dense coat that can trap dirt and debris. Regular grooming helps keep their coat healthy, reduces shedding, and prevents skin irritations in the folds around their face and ears.
Using clippers and brushes designed for dogs makes the process safer and easier. Masterclip clippers are quiet, comfortable to hold, and glide smoothly through thick coats, helping make grooming less stressful for both you and your dog.
How Often Should You Groom a Bloodhound?
We recommend:
- Brushing at least a few times a week to remove loose hair and dirt
- A full clip or trim every 8–10 weeks, especially around the ears, paws, and underbelly
This routine prevents mats, keeps the coat shiny, and helps maintain healthy skin.
Basic Grooming Steps for Bloodhounds
- Start by brushing your dog’s coat thoroughly to remove loose hair and tangles
- Use quiet dog clippers on thicker areas if trimming is needed
- Pay special attention to the ears, facial folds, and paws, trimming excess hair carefully with grooming scissors
- Clean the ears regularly to prevent infections, as Bloodhounds are prone to wax build-up

Common Questions About Bloodhound Grooming
How do I prevent my Bloodhound’s ears from getting infected?
Clean their ears weekly with a vet-approved ear cleaner and dry thoroughly after baths. Their long ears can trap moisture and debris easily.
How often should I bathe my Bloodhound?
A bath every 6–8 weeks is usually enough unless they get especially dirty. Over-bathing can dry out their skin.
Do Bloodhounds shed a lot?
Yes, they are moderate shedders. Regular brushing can help control loose hair and keep your home cleaner.
Can I trim the wrinkles on their face?
You should keep the folds clean and dry. Only trim loose hair around the edges to avoid skin irritation.
What’s the easiest way to groom a Bloodhound’s paws?
Use scissors or clippers to trim hair around the paw pads and between toes to prevent dirt buildup and slipping.
With the right tools and routine, grooming your Bloodhound can be easy, safe, and even enjoyable. Masterclip offers clippers and accessories designed to make home grooming straightforward and stress-free for you and your dog.
