Borzoi Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Borzoi at Home
Grooming your Borzoi at home can be simple with the right tools and a little routine. Borzois have long, silky coats that require regular attention to stay tangle-free and healthy. Their flowing fur is prone to mats, especially around the ears, tail, and behind the legs, so regular brushing and trimming are essential.
Using safe, easy-to-handle clippers makes the process quicker and more comfortable for both you and your dog. Masterclip clippers are designed to be quiet and smooth, helping reduce stress during grooming sessions.
How Often Should You Groom a Borzoi?
To keep your Borzoi looking its best:
• Brush several times per week to prevent tangles
• Trim or clip every 6–10 weeks depending on coat growth
Regular grooming protects the coat, keeps the skin healthy, and prevents mats from becoming painful.
Basic Grooming Steps for Borzois
• Begin with a thorough brush to remove loose hairs and knots
• Use quiet dog clippers on thicker areas such as the undercoat and legs
• Trim around the ears, feet, and tail with grooming scissors for a polished look
• Finish with a gentle comb through the coat to ensure smoothness

FAQs About Grooming Borzois
Do Borzois need frequent baths?
Borzoi coats are naturally clean, so they only need bathing every 6–8 weeks or when they get dirty. Regular brushing helps maintain their silky coat between washes.
How do I prevent mats in a Borzoi's coat?
Focus on areas prone to tangles, such as behind the ears, under the legs, and around the tail. Brush these areas several times a week, and use a comb after clipping or trimming.
Can I clip my Borzoi’s coat short?
Borzoi coats are best left long for protection and appearance. Only trim problem areas or use clippers lightly on the undercoat if needed. Avoid cutting too short, as it can damage the coat and skin.
Are Borzois difficult to groom at home?
With the right tools and routine, grooming a Borzoi at home is manageable. Regular brushing and gentle clipping will keep their coat healthy and reduce the chance of mats.
