Saint Bernard Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Saint Bernard at Home
Grooming your Saint Bernard at home can feel like a big task because of their size and thick double coat, but with the right tools and a little preparation it becomes much easier. Saint Bernards shed throughout the year and their dense coat can trap dirt and loose fur, especially around the neck, chest and hindquarters. Regular grooming helps keep their coat healthy and prevents matting that can cause irritation.
Using safe and easy to handle clippers from Masterclip helps make the process comfortable for both you and your dog. Our clippers are designed to handle heavier coats while staying quiet and gentle, which is ideal for larger breeds like the Saint Bernard.
How Often Should You Groom a Saint Bernard?
We recommend:
• Brushing several times per week
• A light tidy up every 6 to 8 weeks
• More thorough grooming during seasonal shedding periods
This routine helps reduce loose fur, prevents tangles and keeps your dog feeling clean and comfortable.
Basic Grooming Steps for Saint Bernards
• Start by brushing the coat to remove loose hair and small knots
• Use quiet dog clippers to tidy longer areas around the chest, belly and hindquarters
• Trim around the paws and feathering with scissors for a neat finish
• Check and clean ears regularly since Saint Bernards can be prone to moisture buildup
• Keep an eye on any areas where drool collects since this can lead to matting

FAQs About Saint Bernard Grooming
How much grooming does a Saint Bernard need?
Saint Bernards need brushing several times a week and regular coat maintenance. During shedding seasons they may need daily brushing to keep up with the amount of loose fur.
Do Saint Bernards need full clipping?
Most owners choose to tidy their Saint Bernard rather than fully clip them. Clipping areas like the belly, hindquarters and feathering can make maintenance easier, but the coat should not be shaved because it protects the dog from heat and cold.
How do I keep a Saint Bernard from matting?
The biggest areas to watch are the chest, behind the ears, the belly and the arches of the legs. Regular brushing and occasional thinning or trimming with the right tools will prevent mats from forming.
Can I groom a Saint Bernard at home as a beginner?
Yes. With the proper tools and a little patience, many owners groom their Saint Bernards at home. Start slow, keep sessions relaxed and use clippers that can handle dense coats.
