Bernese Mountain Dog · Care

How often should you brush a Bernese Mountain Dog?

Weekly brushing is a useful baseline, and during heavier shedding periods the coat may need attention more often, even daily.

Quick answer

Weekly brushing is a useful baseline, and during heavier shedding periods the coat may need attention more often, even daily.

In practical terms

The double coat is substantial and holds loose hair. Regular brushing helps manage shedding and find tangles or skin changes; shaving is not a substitute for normal coat care.
