Bichon Frisé Dog Clippers and Accessories
French for 'curly white lap dog' this charming breed is believed to be a descendant of the Water Spaniel and the Standard Poodle.
Although this breed is not considered a retriever or water dog, it does have an affinity with water and retrieving due to its ancestry as a sailor’s dog.
The Bichon Frise is an active little dog with a great enthusiasm for life. It is sometimes referred to as the “powder puff” due to the soft rounded appearance of their white fluffy coat.
The Bichon tends to have a curly dense coat that needs regular attention to keep it looking its best. It should be groomed a couple of times a week using a slicker brush or wide tooth metal dog grooming comb as this will help to keep the coat matt and tangle free.
This highly styled breed of dog needs to be clipped on a regular basis. The Masterclip Bichon Frisé dog clippers set is the perfect choice as it contains all the right clipping equipment for this type of breed.
Whether you have a show dog or family pet, the blades that come in the Masterclip Bichon Frisé dog clipper set will help to keep the coat looking its best. There are two different lengths of body clipping blade included, with the addition of a short cut trimming blade that can be used around the paws and also around the back end for sanitation purposes.
See below for our range of Bichon Frisé dog clippers, trimmers, blades and grooming accessories including coat rakes and shampoo’s. Everything you need to keep the coat on your Bichon in good order. Grooming scissors are an excellent addition to the Masterclip Bichon Frisé dog clippers set as they can be used in between clips to help control the length of coat.
We have several shapes and styles of scissors available including curved scissors that are designed for trimming and shaping around the delicate areas and perfect for showing the contours of the Bichon.

Common Questions About Grooming Bichon Frises
Q: Can I use human scissors on my Bichon Frise?
A: It is safer to use grooming scissors designed for dogs. They are sharper, safer, and make it easier to shape the coat without causing injury.
Q: How do I prevent mats in my Bichon Frise's coat?
A: Brush several times per week, especially around the ears, underarms, and tail. Regular trimming also helps reduce mat formation.
Q: Do Bichon Frises shed?
A: Bichon Frises are considered a low-shedding breed. However, loose hair becomes trapped in their curly coat, so regular brushing is essential to prevent mats and tangles.
Q: How do I make my Bichon Frise comfortable during grooming?
A: Use quiet clippers, take breaks, and reward your dog with treats. Starting grooming routines at a young age helps your dog become more relaxed and comfortable with the process.
