Grooming the Bernese mountaindog:
The Bernese mountaindog has a beautiful coat that needs a regular maintenance.
For its good condition, it’s necessary to brush it about two times a week.
Most of the work can be done with a soft slicker brush.
Beginning at the root of the hair, we’ll start brushing at his leg’s, little by little working upward.
Afterwards, use a coarse toothed metal comb to check on any remaining knots.
The longer parts of its hair (ears, neck, pants, …) need extra attention, as well as its belly and armpits, those are the places where knots are easily formed.
Any knots should be removed with a matt breaker.
Male dog’s usually have longer chest-hair than females and ask for a little more attention there.
During the moulting season, the best thing to use is a shepherd rake to remove most of the loose hair, then go on with slicker brush and comb.
Bathing and the use of a hair-dryer will complete the work.
A regular wash is allowed but it’s very important to use a good quality dog shampoo, other shampoos might irritate its skin.
Regularly check the ears and if necessary clean them with a ball of cottonwood, soaked in lukewarm water or in an ear cleaning product, this will reduce the risk for inflammation.
If you think all this is to difficult, there’s always the possibility of visiting a dog- grooming centre a few times a year, the dog’s coat will be coiffured, its nails will be cut and you’ll get professional advice.
Grooming the rottweiler:
The Rottweiler has a coat that doesn’t need a lot of maintenance.
Remove loose hair by using a rubber brush, or as an alternative a soft slicker brush.
According to the fact that your dog lives in- or outdoors, and the time of the year (moulting season or not), the frequency of brushing will be set.
Regularly wash the dog, and afterwards, drying and brushing simultaneously will help prevent loose hair swirling around.
To avoid problems later on, it’s advisable that you start bathing the dog when its still a puppy, bathing a 45 kg unwilling dog can be a serious problem, one that likes to be washed a pleasure to work with.
Always use a good quality dog shampoo to avoid irritation of the skin.
Ears should be regularly checked and if necessary cleaned with a ball of cottonwood, soaked in lukewarm water or in an ear-cleaning product, it will reduce the risk for inflammation.
Check nails on length and if required shorten them by cutting little pieces off.
