Do they require a lot of grooming? The Miniature Schnauzer is not a “wash and wear” dog. They do require regular grooming every 4-6 weeks. This breed does require frequent brushing and combing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, as well as clipping or hand stripping.
Should I cut my schnauzers hair?
Keep coat looking neat by clipping your Schnauzer every 6 weeks. During the winter months, keep your dog's coat a little longer and just trim up areas needing attention. Groom (i.e. brush, trim nails, etc.) and bathe your Schnauzer between full body cuts.
Can you clip a Schnauzer?
There are areas on your Schnauzer that need to be groomed with scissors instead of clippers because they are so sensitive. The fur on and around the tip of the tail should be trimmed with scissors. Cut the length the same as the rest of the fur on his back so it matches.
Should Miniature Schnauzer be stripped or clipped?
Hand stripping is usually preferred for wire coated breeds such as the schnauzer as it retains the harsh topcoat of the dog and (especially with the pepper & salt colour schnauzers) the banded hairs which give them their distinctive look.
How short can you cut a schnauzers hair?
It is also cute as a miniature Schnauzer haircut since they are already so small. To achieve this cut, the groomer needs to cut their hair the same length across their entire body. They should leave about 1-2 inches.
