Great Dane Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Great Dane at Home
Grooming a Great Dane at home is easier than many owners expect. Although they have short coats, Great Danes shed all year and can build up dead hair, dander and dirt if not maintained regularly. Routine grooming helps keep their skin healthy and reduces loose hair around the home. It also gives you a chance to check their skin, nails and ears, which is important for such a large and active breed.
Using quiet, easy to handle clippers can make a big difference, especially when you need to tidy up areas like the belly, rear and inner thighs. Masterclip clippers are designed to stay cool, feel comfortable in your hand and remain gentle on your dog’s skin.
How Often Should You Groom a Great Dane?
We recommend:
• Brushing once or twice per week
• Light clipping or tidying every 6 to 8 weeks
• Nail trimming every 2 to 4 weeks
Regular grooming can help reduce shedding, prevent skin irritation and keep your Great Dane looking clean and well cared for.
Basic Grooming Steps for Great Danes
• Brush the coat to remove loose hair and dirt
• Use quiet clippers to tidy the belly, rear, inner legs and any fluffy areas
• Trim nails carefully and check the ears for wax or debris
• Wipe the coat with a grooming mitt or cloth to give a clean, smooth finish

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Great Danes shed?
Great Danes shed steadily throughout the year. Weekly brushing helps keep the loose hair under control and supports healthy skin.
Do Great Danes need full body clipping?
They do not usually need full clipping like long coated breeds. Most owners simply tidy the belly, rear, inner legs and any uneven areas.
What blades should I use for a Great Dane?
A standard A5 blade such as a 10 or 7F is usually ideal for tidying short coats. These lengths give a neat finish while keeping the skin protected.
Are Great Danes sensitive to noise?
Some Great Danes can be sound sensitive. Choosing a quiet clipper like the MD Roamer can help make grooming sessions calmer and easier.
How do I keep my Great Dane’s skin healthy?
Regular brushing, occasional clipping, wiping the coat and checking for dry patches or irritation can all help maintain good skin health.
