How much does it cost to groom a Bernese Mountain Dog?

Typical starting range

$104–$137

This is a national starting range for a Bernese Mountain Dog with a well-maintained coat and no add-ons. Matting, temperament, and your ZIP code can all move the real number.

Bernese Mountain Dog temperament

Berners are typically calm and eager to please, generally cooperative for grooming, though their size means a groomer needs the right setup to work comfortably.

Grooming a Bernese Mountain Dog

The long double coat sheds heavily and mats readily at the ears, chest, and britches - regular brushing between visits makes a big difference in how long a full groom takes.

How often does a Bernese Mountain Dog need grooming?

Every 8-12 weeks, with a de-shedding treatment during spring and fall shedding season.

Watch for matting

A Bernese Mountain Dog's coat mats easily if brushing lapses. Severe matting typically adds $44 or more and can mean a full shave-down for your dog's comfort and safety, since careful de-matting takes real table time. See the matting guide for what each severity level looks like.
