Bernese mountain dogs should be bathed every 4-6 weeks due to the dense double coat trapping dirt and other debris. Routine cleaning will greatly help to remove visible dirt and dead fur, but over-bathing can strip their skin of natural oils and cause dryness. Bernese Mountain Dogs also have an undercoat that traps moisture and should be towel dried first, followed by a high-velocity blow dryer on a low heat setting to avoid skin irritation.  Routine brushing is the real secret to keeping their fur clean and healthy, and should always be done before bathing.
