Finnish Lapphund Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Finnish Lapphund at Home
Grooming a Finnish Lapphund at home can be straightforward once you understand their double coat and have the right tools on hand. Finnish Lapphunds have a thick, weather resistant coat that sheds seasonally and needs regular care to stay healthy. The coat is made up of a soft dense undercoat and a longer protective topcoat. Keeping both layers maintained helps reduce shedding, prevent tangles and keep your dog comfortable throughout the year.
Whether you are new to grooming or already confident with clippers, choosing quiet and easy to control tools makes the job much smoother. Masterclip clippers are designed for both comfort and performance which helps create a calm grooming experience for you and your Finnish Lapphund.
How Often Should You Groom a Finnish Lapphund?
We recommend:
• Brushing at least two to three times per week
• More frequent brushing during spring and autumn shedding seasons
• Light trimming every 6 to 10 weeks if needed
Regular grooming helps reduce loose hair around the home and keeps the coat from forming mats, especially behind the ears, around the trousers and under the tail.
Basic Grooming Steps for Finnish Lapphunds
• Begin by brushing thoroughly with a slicker brush to loosen dead hair
• Follow up with a metal comb to reach the undercoat
• Use quiet clippers only on areas that benefit from light trimming such as the stomach, feet and sanitary areas
• Neaten the feet with scissors for a tidy finish
• Avoid shaving the coat because the double coat protects your dog from both heat and cold

Frequently Asked Questions About Grooming a Finnish Lapphund
Should I shave my Finnish Lapphund?
No. Shaving a Finnish Lapphund can damage the coat and remove the natural insulation that protects them in both hot and cold weather. Stick to brushing and light trimming only.
How do I control shedding?
Regular brushing is the best way to reduce shedding. During heavy shedding seasons daily brushing helps remove loose undercoat before it ends up around the home.
Can I bathe my Finnish Lapphund often?
Lapphunds do not need frequent baths. Every couple of months is usually enough unless they get muddy. Bathing too often can dry out the skin and coat.
What areas should I trim with clippers?
Most owners trim the paws, sanitary areas and sometimes the chest or belly. The main body coat should not be clipped down.
