Fox Terrier Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Fox Terrier at Home
Grooming a Fox Terrier at home can be simple once you know the basics. Fox Terriers have a dense, wiry coat that can grow quickly and hold onto dirt, so regular grooming is important for keeping them clean, healthy and comfortable. Some Fox Terriers have a smoother coat, while others have the classic wire texture, but both types benefit from consistent care.
Using the right tools will make the job easier for you and more enjoyable for your dog. Masterclip clippers are designed to be quiet, comfortable to hold and effective for both smooth and wire Fox Terrier coats.
How Often Should You Groom a Fox Terrier?
We recommend:
• Brushing two to three times per week
• Full clipping or trimming every 6 to 10 weeks
Routine grooming helps prevent matting on the legs, beard and chest. It also keeps your Fox Terrier looking tidy and makes shedding more manageable.
Basic Grooming Steps for Fox Terriers
• Start by brushing the coat to remove loose fur and any small knots
• Use quiet dog clippers along the body to create an even finish
• Tidy the beard, eyebrows and leg furnishings with scissors for a neat, traditional Fox Terrier look
Best Dog Clippers for Fox Terriers
Because Fox Terriers can have either smooth or wiry coats, choosing the right clipper is important. A good clipper should glide through thicker areas, help maintain the classic terrier outline and stay cool during longer sessions.

Fox Terrier Grooming FAQs
How short should I clip my Fox Terrier?
Most owners prefer a short, manageable length on the body while keeping the characteristic beard and leg furnishings slightly longer. Blade length depends on your preferred style but 3F, 5F or longer comb attachments are common choices.
Do Fox Terriers shed a lot?
Wire Fox Terriers shed very little when groomed regularly. Smooth Fox Terriers shed more but frequent brushing will keep loose hairs under control.
Can I use the same clippers for both Smooth and Wire Fox Terriers?
Yes. High quality clippers like Masterclip models work well on both coat types. Wire coats may need a slightly stronger clipper or a fresh, sharp blade.
Is hand stripping necessary?
Hand stripping is traditional for show style Wire Fox Terriers but many pet owners choose clipping because it is quicker, easier and gentler for the dog.
