Jack Russell Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Jack Russell at Home
Grooming a Jack Russell at home is completely achievable with the right tools and a simple routine. Although this breed is known for its low-maintenance coat, regular grooming helps keep shedding under control and keeps your dog comfortable and looking tidy. Jack Russells can have smooth, rough or broken coats, and each type benefits from a slightly different approach, especially when it comes to trimming and deshedding.
Using easy to handle clippers can help you tidy longer or uneven areas without causing discomfort. Masterclip clippers are designed to be quiet and comfortable to hold so grooming feels calm for both you and your dog.
How Often Should You Groom a Jack Russell?
We recommend:
• Weekly brushing to reduce loose hair
• Light trimming or tidying every 6 to 10 weeks
• Regular nail trimming and ear cleaning as needed
A consistent grooming routine helps manage shedding, keeps the coat healthy and allows you to spot skin issues early.
Basic Grooming Steps for Jack Russells
• Start with a thorough brush to remove loose hairs
• Use gentle clippers to tidy longer areas on rough or broken coats
• Trim around the paws and tail using grooming scissors
• Finish by checking nails, ears and the coat for any debris or knots

Jack Russell Grooming FAQs
How do I know if my Jack Russell has a smooth, rough or broken coat?
Smooth coats are short and sleek. Rough coats have longer, coarse hair that may require hand stripping or tidying. Broken coats fall somewhere in the middle with a mix of soft and wiry hair.
Do Jack Russells need clipping?
Smooth coated Jack Russells rarely need full clipping, but broken and rough coats benefit from light trimming to keep the coat neat. Many owners also use clippers to tidy problem areas like the chest, back legs and tail.
How do I reduce shedding?
Regular brushing is the best way to control shedding. A slicker brush or shedding comb helps lift loose hairs before they land around your home.
Are clippers safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, as long as you use high quality clippers with sharp blades. Masterclip clippers are designed to glide through the coat with minimal heat and reduced snagging which helps protect sensitive skin.
