Rottweiler grooming in Kyiv
Professional care for the short but thick coat of the Rottweiler
The Rottweiler is one of the oldest and most famous working breeds, dating back to the times of Ancient Rome. Their ancestors accompanied legionnaires, guarded camps, and drove cattle. Later, in the German city of Rothweil, these dogs became indispensable butchers’ assistants and property guards, which determined the modern name of the breed. The Rottweiler has a powerful, muscular build, a broad sternum, and a short, dense coat with a thick undercoat that protects it well from the weather.
Size and weight
This is a large dog: the average height at the withers for males is 61-68 cm, for females – 56-63 cm. The weight usually ranges from 40 to 60 kg, depending on the sex and conditions of detention. The Rottweiler always gives the impression of strength and confidence.
Character and behavior
Rottweilers are known for their balanced but determined character. They are loyal dogs that are great for guarding, but at the same time, they are gentle and calm around the family. They are intelligent, quick learners, and appreciate the authority of their owners. Proper upbringing and socialization make a Rottweiler a reliable friend and guardian.
Rottweiler puppies
Kids of this breed are active, playful, and very inquisitive. They grow up quickly, so they need proper discipline and strict upbringing from an early age. In childhood, the Rottweiler needs even more careful grooming, as the undercoat is actively forming.
Types of Rottweilers
Classically, there are German Rottweiler and American Rottweiler, which differ in appearance standards and use in different countries. The so-called Royal Rottweiler is often mentioned separately – this is not an officially recognized standard, but rather a popular name for the largest representatives of the breed. The Royal Rottweiler has a more massive skeleton and impressive size, so it impresses with its strength and majesty.
Grooming the Rottweiler
Despite its short coat, the Rottweiler needs regular and competent grooming. Its undercoat is thick, so during molting, the hair falls out in large quantities. Basic procedures:
Combing – it is recommended to comb the Rottweiler 1-2 times a week, and during periods of active molting – daily. This reduces the amount of hair in the house and allows the skin to breathe.
Bathing – optimally once every 1.5-2 months or as needed. Use special shampoos for dogs with sensitive skin.
Skin care – Rottweiler’s skin can be prone to irritation, so the right cosmetics and regular check-ups can help avoid problems.
Nailtrimming is an important procedure, as too long nails affect posture and movement.
Cleaning ears and teeth helps maintain hygiene and prevents infections.

Proper handling of a thick undercoat means less shedding in the home:
The Rottweiler has a dense, short coat with an undercoat, so we use a comprehensive grooming process: carding/deshedding, force-drying to blow out the undercoat, and conditioning to close the hair scales. We do not "strip to zero" and do not spoil thermoregulation - on the contrary, we remove only the dead undercoat so that the skin can breathe and the house does not drown in hair.

Delicate skin - individualized cosmetology without irritation:
Rottweilers' skin can react to aggressive products. We select pH-balanced formulas without harsh fragrances, add care masks (including our proprietary programs), test on a small area, and give home care recommendations to prolong the effect of cleanliness and shine.

What procedures does a retriever need for a perfect look and complete care
- Bathing with professional cosmetics:
Before bathing, the dog is thoroughly brushed to remove some of the dead hair. In the bath, the Rottweiler stands on a special anti-slip coating to help him feel confident. The water temperature is controlled - neither hot nor cold. First, the coat is well moistened, after which the groomer applies shampoo with light massage movements, washing the coat and undercoat. Particular attention is paid to the neck, chest, and hind legs, where the coat is the densest. Then, a conditioner or mask is used to cover the hair scales and add shine. Everything is thoroughly washed off so that no cosmetics remain on the skin.
- Combing and deshedding:
After bathing, the coat is dried with a force-dryer - a powerful stream of air that blows out the remaining undercoat. The groomer works from the neck to the tail to make the coat lie properly. Next, special tools are used - a furminator, carder, or fluffer, depending on the density of the undercoat. The combing is done gradually: first, large areas (back, sides), then more delicate areas (belly, tail, paws). This removes dead hair, stimulates blood circulation, and allows the skin to "breathe".
- Skin care:
After the main procedures, the coat is examined again. If the Rottweiler has dryness or irritation, regenerating serums are used, which are applied locally to problem areas. The groomer can also do a light massage while applying conditioner or balm, which calms the dog and improves blood circulation.
- Claw trimming:
The nails are trimmed with a special clipper. The groomer works gently to avoid touching the sensitive pulp inside the claw. After trimming, the tips are polished with a nail drill or file to make them smooth and not cling to the floor. This prevents cracks and discomfort when walking.
- Cleaning the ears:
The ears are wiped with cotton pads with a special lotion that dissolves dirt and wax. All movements are gentle and careful so as not to injure the delicate skin of the ear canal. If necessary, remove excess hairs at the entrance to the ear to ensure ventilation.
- Dental hygiene:
The salon can clean your teeth with a special brush or wipes with an antiseptic solution. This helps to remove plaque and freshen breath. For prevention, groomers often advise owners to use chewing gum or regular brushing at home.
- Paw care:
Inspect the paw pads for cracks or damage. If necessary, apply a moisturizing balm. Dirt and hair are cleaned out between the toes to prevent tangles and moisture accumulation.
- The final stage:
After all the procedures, the dog is combed again, and an antistatic spray or a finishing conditioner for shine may be applied to the coat. Before and after photos are taken so that the owner can see the difference. The Rottweiler leaves the salon clean, fresh, and with a beautiful shiny coat.
Popular questions from Rottweiler owners and answers to them
Does a Rottweiler need regular brushing if it has a short coat?
Yes, it is necessary. The Rottweiler has a thick undercoat that actively sheds twice a year. Without regular combing, the coat will fall out in tangles, and the skin can "steam". The salon uses deshedding and force-drying, which remove dead hair much more effectively than brushing at home.
How often should I bathe my Rottweiler?
On average, once every 1.5-2 months. You should not bathe more often to avoid drying out the skin. If the dog gets dirty on a walk, you can wash his paws or belly locally. For a complete bath, you need professional cosmetics with a balanced pH.
Should I cut my Rottweiler's hair?
No, you can't shave his coat. It has a protective function, and the undercoat helps regulate body temperature. Proper grooming is combing, washing, and cosmetic masks, not clipping. The only thing that is regularly trimmed is the claws.
How do you know if a Rottweiler's claws are too long?
If you hear a characteristic "clatter" on the floor while walking, the claws have outgrown. Long claws change posture and cause discomfort. They need to be trimmed about once every 3-4 weeks.
Is a Rottweiler suitable for apartment living?
Yes, but only if you take him for daily walks and exercise. The Rottweiler is an active breed that needs at least two long walks a day. In an apartment, it is important to keep the coat clean and groom in time, otherwise shedding will be very noticeable.
What should I feed my Rottweiler to keep its coat healthy?
The diet should be balanced and rich in protein and fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6). This means either high-quality ready-made super-premium food or a carefully prepared diet of natural products. A lack of vitamins immediately affects the coat and skin.
How to handle a Rottweiler in the salon if he is suspicious?
Rottweilers often have a protective instinct and may distrust strangers. That's why at V.O.G DOG SALON we make an adaptive acquaintance: the groomer first allows the dog to sniff the tools, speaks in a calm voice, and works without sudden movements. If necessary, procedures are performed in the presence of the owner.
What mandatory veterinary procedures should a Rottweiler undergo?
It is important for a Rottweiler to be treated for fleas and ticks, as well as worming. Also, large breeds are prone to joint problems, so it's worth discussing cartilage and ligament support with your veterinarian.
Can a Rottweiler be trusted with a child?
Rottweilers are very devoted to their families, but because of their strength and protective instinct, they need to be handled responsibly. Children should not be left alone with a Rottweiler without an adult, especially if the dog is still young and has not been fully trained.
