Common Smell Issues
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do Bernese Mountain Dogs smell bad?
- They have moderate-to-strong odor due to their thick double coat. Without regular brushing, the coat traps debris and moisture.
- How often should I bathe a Bernese Mountain Dog?
- Every 6 weeks. Their thick coat takes a long time to dry -- use a high-velocity dryer to avoid leaving the undercoat damp.
- Why does my Berner smell so bad after rain?
- Their thick double coat absorbs large amounts of water and takes hours to dry naturally. The wet dog compound release is intense with this much coat mass.
- How much does it cost to groom a Bernese Mountain Dog?
- Professional grooming runs $700 to $1,500 per year. Their coat is time-intensive due to thickness and shedding volume.
