The Doggie Park

St Bernard dogs can be lovable and make great companions. However, if you have to deal with the massive shedding all over your clothes when you get close to your big hairy doggie this love can start to wear thin. More so for the ones that have a St Bernard for an inside dog with hair shedding all over the house. Today we are going to deal with grooming your St Bernard because with the proper grooming you can cut down the amount of hair that goes almost everywhere.

Brushing: This may seem tedious but if you brush your dog everyday you will cut down on the amount of hair that goes everywhere. I recommend using a designated spot to do the brushing that way all the hair that comes out during brushing is in a controlled easy to clean up area.

Bathing:  This should be done only as needed. If you over bath your St Bernard you will strip the coat of the oils that it needs. Normal baths will help to reduce the amount of hair that falling out all over the place. I recommend a routine of baths twice a month only for your St Bernard, unless your dog has found a nice mud puddle to play in. I have heard people who have used human conditioner on their dogs to keep the coat soft. So if you feel inclined to do this just make sure that you have completely rinsed all the conditioner out of the dog’s coat when done.
