Coat Care of a Bernese M.D

D Dog Fan | January 21st, 2008

The coat of a Bernese is slightly rough in outline, but not at all harsh in texture. There is an undercoat as well, which is fairly dense. A positive attribute of this big dog’s coat is that it is dirt and weather resistant! To keep the coat in fine shape, a good brushing every week or two is sufficient enough. When the undercoat is being shed, seasonally it is advisable to give the coat a vigorous brushing in order to speed up the moulting process. Bernese Mountain Dogs shed year-round,and often seasonal shedding will increasing the shedded fur. So be patient and loving with your Berner as fur drifting everywhere is to be expected!

Why take your dog to the vet if you can give it a check-up yourself?
